Backstab Jokic, Malone says Alexander explains what a real MVP is

The Minnesota Timberwolves' Western Conference matchup in the Oklahoma City Thunder has begun, with the Timberwolves defeating the Thunder with a score of 88-114. Who would have thought that the Timberwolves were defeated by a 40-70-26-point score difference in the second half while leading by 4 points in the first half, which was also controversial by many fans and media.

Alexander is an important contributor to the Thunder's winning. In this game, he made 10 of 27 shots, 0 of 4 three-pointers and 11 of 14 free throws, scoring 31 points, 5 rebounds, and 9 assists. His outstanding performance was praised by former Denver Nuggets head coach Michael Malone. On ESPN's show, Michael Malone said that Alexander showed the world why he deserved the 2024-25 regular season MVP. I don’t know if Michael Malone is in Yin-Yang Alexander, because Alexander’s free throw has been criticized by many fans and media.

Michael Malone said, "Shay Girgiz Alexander, he showed why he is the most valuable player. He took over the game in the second half and did it in a very efficient way."

Overall, the direction of the game is indeed related to Alexander's outstanding performance, with only 11 points in the first half and 20 points in the second half. The Timberwolves only scored 40 points in the second half, and Alexander alone scored half of their score. Michael Malone's remarks are also regarded as betraying his former colleague Jokic.

They worked with the Nuggets for many years before and won the championship together. Before Michael Malone was fired, he also thought that Jokic was underestimated. He should be the regular season MVP and the first active player. Judging from the remarks on the show today, Michael Malone may be dissatisfied with Jokic not pressuring the Nuggets management to keep him, but instead let the team fire him.

You should know that in NBA history, as long as the leader wants to keep the head coach and stay the team, they only tell the management to leave the coach, the management will choose to leave the coach. Jokic also said that the management told him in advance that he would fire Michael Malone, but he chose to respect the management's choice and did not interfere with the other party's actions.

Who should be the regular season MVP of the 2024-25 season, it should be Alexander, with excellent personal data and ranked first in the Western Conference. On the other hand, Jokic's data is too obvious, and his team's record is not as good as Alexander's, and the team's atmosphere still has some problems.
