NEW YORK – Tuesday’s NBA draft is considered to be generational, leading a third of the league to tank and commissioner Adam Silver to change the lottery system in an attempt to combat it. But something that it’s not compared to recent ones? International. James Harden remains the last American-born NBA MVP, having won the award in 2018. Since then, it has gone to the likes of Giannis Antetokounmpo (Greece), Nikola Jokic (Serbia), and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (Canada), among others.
