00:00Oklahoma City, they win against Utah. That's not a surprise.

00:03123 to 114. But another staple performance from SGA 54 points,

00:0917 of 35 shooting 17 from 18 of the free throw line. And right

00:15now this guy is playing on another world. In fact, I don't

00:18I mean, Gilbert, I know that Jokic and LeBron and some others

00:22and Embiid have won MVPs. I don't ever remember a such a

00:25heavy favorite in the NBA in January. It seems like as long

00:29as Oklahoma City just plays okay, the rest of the season,

00:32he's got the MVP locked up. It ain't even February yet. Right.

00:36It's pretty incredible, Craig. When you put it that way,

00:38especially thinking about the odds for him to win the award

00:41at this stage of the season and then to think about the fact

00:44that nobody would have ever predicted this to come when he

00:47was a late lottery pick some years ago and now he's in

00:50Oklahoma City and it's just transcending into superstar

00:53and right in front of our eyes to come up short for MVP last

00:56year and to somehow come back even better than he was last

01:00season. He's definitely on a mission to lead this team to

01:02new heights and also probably going to win MVP for the first

01:06time in his career. Just to think about the fact that he

01:09has scored 54 points last night. When we look back, this

01:12will be one of those MVP moments that we will accredit

01:15him winning the award to. It certainly seems like it's just

01:18a straight path from to win the award, especially if the

01:21Thunder were going to win 65 and maybe even 70 games that's

01:24still in play for them.
