"Breaking: Oklahoma City Thunder's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has won his second consecutive NBA Most Valuable Player award, becoming the 14th player in league history to win back-to-back MVPs, multiple sources tell ESPN."
"During Amazon's pre-game coverage, host Taylor Rooks revealed that they were supposed to be the ones to announce the MVP. Alright now, just to be clear, the official announcement is happening here, Rooks said. [Dirk Nowitzki] and [Steve Nash], you both won MVPs, but I don't remember Shams spoiling it way back then."
"What are we doing, man? Griffin said. Like, it's Sunday, Shams! Go to brunch, you nerd! Come on! It's far from the first time Charania has ruffled feathers over his thirst for scoops."
"In 2023, the NBA reporter unexpectedly spoiled the top pick in the NFL Draft former Alabama quarterback Bryce Young. That scoop was met with outrage by NFL fans."
Shams Charania reported that Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander won NBA MVP for a second consecutive season, citing multiple sources and implying the league had not yet made the information official. Amazon’s NBA pregame coverage later revealed that Amazon was expected to make the MVP announcement. Host Taylor Rooks said the official announcement was happening on Amazon’s broadcast. Dirk Nowitzki joked about Charania’s age when he won MVP years earlier. Blake Griffin criticized Charania directly, urging him to stop spoiling news.
