Paul Pierce says Anthony Edwards is the ‘only one’ capable of ending European dominance in the MVP award Be it Nikola Jokic or Giannis Antetokounmpo, European stars have quickly become the top names in the NBA in recent times. Even in the 2024-25 season, it was OKC Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander who won the MVP. With that said, Pierce picked Edwards to end this dominance finally. “I like Ant-Man. I think he’s got an opportunity to start, you know, making his name recognized in that conversation. He has that type of ability,” Pierce said on KG Certified. He added: “When we talk about the American players right now, as of today, this season? I think he’s the only one.” Right now, Edwards is focused on winning an NBA Championship. After all, he has failed to get past the WCF in back-to-back seasons.
