The PWHL today announced their three finalists for the league's MVP award. Toronto Sceptres' blueliner Renata Fast, Boston Fleet captain Hilary Knight, and Montreal Victoire captain Marie-Philip Poulin were voted the finalists for the 2025 PWHL Billie Jean King MVP award.
The last time an American-born player walked away with the top honor was James Harden in 2018. The run of international players winning MVP -- Gilgeous-Alexander is from Canada -- speaks to the expanding global reach of the NBA and the increased number of talent outside of the United States.
Gilgeous-Alexander now makes it seven straight years that a player born outside the U.S. won MVP, extending the longest such streak in league history.
