May 22 News Today, the NBA officially announced the most valuable player awards and voting details of this season, and Shay Gilgers Alexander won the MVP.

Among them, Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo won 88 third votes, 9 fourth votes, and 3 fifth votes, with a total of 470 points ranking third in MVP.

In the last seven years, Antetokounmpo failed to win the first MVP vote. This ended his longest-existing season record, which had previously won at least one first vote in a row. Currently, Nikola Jokic has taken over the honor with a record of winning at least one MVP first vote for five consecutive years.

Antetokounmpo's record is the longest NBA record since LeBron James won the first MVP vote for eight consecutive years from 2008 to 2015. James's record was broken by Curry in 2016, who became the first and only player in history to be elected MVP unanimously.
