With Doncic going through a massive transformation this summer, the Lakers star is expected to be among the top names to win the 2026 NBA MVP. His biggest competitor? Oklahoma City Thunder star and reigning MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Speaking of which, Bayless compared the two stars on X. “As great as he is, Luka is no Shai,” Bayless tweeted. While SGA recently had a 55-point night, he did so in a double-OT game and attempted 26 free throws. Doncic, on the other hand, scored the majority of his points in open play. Either way, both Gilgeous-Alexander and Doncic are terrific players, but Bayless has decided to side with the Thunder star.
