With the official end of the NBA regular season, what everyone is most looking forward to is who will be the MVP winner this year? At present, it is very likely that it will be born between Antetokounmpo, Jokic, and Embiid . However, no matter what, one thing is certain that American players will probably be spectators for the MVP award this season, because these three popular MVP candidates are all international players, Jokic comes from Serbian , Antetokounmpo comes from Greece, and Embiid comes from Cameroon .
past 36 seasons MVP winners are all international players, and the advantage of American local players is no longer
In the past three seasons, the winners of MVP are Antetokounmpo, Antetokounmpo and Jokic. If international players are elected this season, then this will be the case where international players have won MVPs for four consecutive years. Looking at the history of the league, this is indeed the first time that a big girl has been in the sedan chair. In the three seasons of 2004-05, 2006 and 2007, the NBA had three consecutive years of MVPs. The MVPs in 2005 and 2006 were both Suns star Steve Nash , and 2007 were Mavericks star , and Dirknowsky from Germany was elected. In the future, the MVP awards were basically dominated by local American players.
Outsiders have gradually become the signature of NBA. The last time I won MVP is still 17-18 Harden
In the NBA, the top stage of basketball in the world, there is indeed Many top stars from all over the world gather together. It is also the NBA's "secret sea" that has also made many "outsiders" the league's signature stars. The hottest one in the past few seasons is Bucks star Antetokounmpo . In the past 1 or 2 years, the core of the Mavericks Luca Doncic is also likely to become another signature star in the league. On the contrary, the presence of American local stars is getting lower and lower. The last time the American player who won the regular season MVP award can be traced back to the James Harden in the 17-18 season. At that time, he successfully ushered in the only career with an average of 30.4 points 5.4 rebounds 8.8 assists. The MVP award is also here. The record of MVP occupied by American players in the past 11 consecutive years has been temporarily interrupted (previously, Westbrook , Curry 2 times, Durant 1, James 4 times, Rose 1 time, and Kobe 1 time).
American local stars are out of stock! The US men's basketball team will lose their basketball dominance
The gap of American domestic stars has been fully confirmed in the past two FIBA games. In 2019, the US men's basketball World Cup held in China, even though the US men's basketball team was appointed by the NBA legend coach Popovich , they finally won only the seventh place, setting a record. The worst record in the history of the World Championships. In the Tokyo Olympics last year, although the US men's basketball team finally won the championship, it had already lost the absolute dominance it used to be. Before going to Tokyo at that time, even though there were super giants such as , Lillard, and Durant, the US men's basketball team lost to Nigeria and Australia in the warm-up match. If it weren't for Durant's super-god performance in the Olympics, the US men's basketball team would have really failed in the FIBA twice in a row.
This time, facing the situation where the regular season MVP is again snatched away by "outsiders", the NBA is expected to usher in a new era of international players. If no local American players stand up to save this situation, the US men's basketball team will completely lose its absolute overlord position in the future FIBA arena.
