Overview
- Nash made the declaration during Prime Video’s NBA broadcast in an in-studio segment.
- The endorsement carries weight given Nash’s two league MVPs and Hall of Fame stature without a title.
- Gilgeous-Alexander’s case features the 2025 regular-season MVP, Finals MVP, and an NBA championship with Oklahoma City.
- He is widely discussed as a leading MVP candidate this season as the Thunder have dropped three of their last four, including a 123-111 loss to the Timberwolves.
- After the Minnesota defeat, Gilgeous-Alexander questioned the team’s preparedness, and Nash also rejected the “free-throw merchant” label attached to his scoring.
