Shai Gilgeous-Alexander gets destroyed by fans after winning maiden MVP honor

Fans reacted to OKC Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander winning the NBA MVP over Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic.

On Wednesday, NBA insider Shams Charania broke the news that Gilgeous-Alexander got his first career MVP award over Jokic, a three-time winner.

Several fans mentioned Gilgeous-Alexander’s social media nickname, “free-throw merchant.”

“Jokic got robbed by 2 ft merchants man,” a fan tweeted.

“Another MVP stolen from Jokić from a FT merchant,” another fan said.

“The worst MVP we have had in years, nothing about free throw man showed he was worthy of MVP,” a fan commented.

Here are other fan reactions:

This guy is not my MVP, sorry, but he just isn’t ethical and winning as people think he is. Just look at his supporting cast and whistle,” a fan said.

“For the media members who vote Shai for MVP f**k you and everyone you love,” another fan wrote.

“F**k this how did Luka not win MVP last year,” one fan tweeted.

This is a developing story.
