Alexander, the best player at the service, won no vote!

ESPN launched a "active player" vote in the offseason. After the vote, Jokic won 19 votes, Doncic won only one vote, while Alexander failed to get any votes, which surprised NBA famous reporter Shams.

Previously, Shams had posted a post saying: He collected all the championships, regular season MVPs, Western Conference Finals MVPs, and Finals MVPs in one year, and also launched his own signature shoes. Putting all these things together, you can think that Alexander may be the best player in the league now.

However, ESPN's voting results show that in the hearts of the media and fans, Alexander's honor is somewhat inconsistent with the name.

According to statistics, in the 23-24 season, Alexander's average free throws per game has been at the top of the league for a long time (usually in the top three). He averages more than 8 or even 9 free throws per game, and the proportion of free throws is ridiculously high. 25%-30% of the average scores are obtained through free throws.

Last season, in a Timberwolves vs. Thunder, Timberwolves fans held up a slogan with a letter to "Free Shooting Wholesale" and were warned. Subsequently, some commentators also used this title to be suspended during the commentary. However, none of this could stop the media and fans' views on Alexander. This is also the reason why Alexander was hard to get a vote when he voted for "the best player at the active service" initiated by ESPN.

After the Thunder won the championship last season, media statistics show that in the past seven years, a total of seven different teams have won the championship. A well-known American media commentator said that he is doubtful about whether the Thunder can win 70 in the new season.
