Just a side note and commentary on our AAU system-- the last six NBA MVPs were born outside the US.

With Jokic, SGA, Doncic, Giannis and Wembanyama being the early favorites for next year's award, this trend may not change. P

Definitely makes for an interesting Summer Olympics with all the international players that you mentioned, plus they've played with their respective national teams for a longer period than the current team USA roster than was just assembled. As for US born players, Anthony Edwards would obviously be the best chance for that streak to end, or if someone else just comes out of nowhere next season.

Edwards was 7th in voting this season. That'd be a pretty big jump, though it is possible. The top four were Jokic, SGA, Doncic, and Giannis.

Don't know that Edwards will put up the individual numbers, especially playing on the team he's on, but you can't rule it out either.

To put it in perspective, he had a total of 18 points in voting. Jokic had 926. SGA had 640. Doncic had 566. Giannis had 192. Jalen Brunson was the top American-born player in voting with 142.
