The second MVP in Canada! MVP has been international players for seven consecutive years, and will it still be the case in the next few years?

According to official news, Alexander has been officially elected as the regular season MVP this season, becoming the third player in the Thunder team history to win the MVP after Durant and Westbrook, and they have both won it in the past 12 years.

It is also worth mentioning that Alexander is a Canadian player and he also became the second Canadian player to win the MVP after Nash. Nash is also a Canadian player and won MVP for two consecutive years in 2005 and 2006. Alexander not only won his first MVP in his career, but also expected to win an MVP for two consecutive years like Nash.

Because Alexander is an international player, this is also the seventh consecutive year that the NBA has been elected as an MVP by an international player. The last US local MVP was Harden in the 17-18 season. The MVPs in the past seven years are Antetokounmpo from Greece (two times), Jokic from Serbia (three times), Embiid, who has the nationalities of Cameroon, France and the United States, and Alexander from Canada.

Not only that, the top three MVP list this season are also international players, namely Alexander, Jokic and Antetokounmpo. In other words, even if Alexander is not elected as an MVP this season, the MVP this season will still be an international player, and Jokic and Antetokounmpo have already won 5 MVPs together.

In the next few seasons, MVP is likely to be international players. Alexander, Jokic, Antetokounmpo, Doncic, and Vinban Yama are all popular candidates for MVP and all hope to get MVP, and they are all international players without exception. Due to the existence of these top international players, it is indeed very difficult for American local players to get MVP.

The new generation of players in the United States have the potential to win MVPs, probably Mitchell, Tatum, Edwards, and Cningham, but they have a certain gap with the above international players and have no obvious competitive advantage. In addition, Tatum also suffered a serious injury to the Achilles tendon and may be reimbursed next season and will no longer be able to participate in the MVP competition. So it is hard to say when another MVP in the United States will appear in the future. It may not appear within 5 years.
