Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is back-to-back. The Oklahoma City Thunder superstar claimed his second consecutive NBA Most Valuable Player award on Sunday, cementing his status as the league's premier force. He's now one of just fourteen players in history to win the award in consecutive seasons, and with a championship already on the shelf, he's hunting another.
Meanwhile in England, Wayne Rooney is turning up the heat on Mohamed Salah, publicly calling on Liverpool manager Arne Slot to drop the Egyptian king for the club's final match of the season. Salah drew Rooney's fire after posting on social media following a four-two defeat to Aston Villa, demanding Liverpool return to being a heavy metal attacking side. Rooney called the move selfish, and the debate is absolutely raging.
And over in France, chaos consumed the end of the Ligue one season as supporters stormed the pitch at OGC Nice following the final whistle, with tear gas deployed to restore order. Nice are not yet relegated, still clinging to a playoff lifeline, but the scenes on that pitch told a story of a fanbase that has completely lost patience with what they've been watching.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
