Hifi : “ I deserve the MVP ”

Published on May 19, 2026

Another masterclass from Nadir Hifi last Saturday against ASVEL (87-76). Dominant in the clutch, the Prince of Paris reflected on his MVP-caliber performance during the postgame press conference.

Following a thrilling match against ASVEL, Paris Basketball edged out Monaco in the dying moments to reclaim top spot in the Betclic ÉLITE. It was a remarkable team performance, which our point guard highlighted to the press : “ I’m really pleased we rose to the occasion because it wasn’t easy. We were trailing for quite a while, but we found the means to get back into the game, take the lead again and make the defensive stops at the right moment. It’s also a reflection of the work put in during the week and the solidarity within the squad. ”

According to Nadir, this match also illustrates his steady progress since the start of the season : “ I felt good. This match also shows how my game has developed. I think that’s a positive thing. When I play intelligently, like I did today, it’s good for me and it’s good for the team. ”

Individual performances for the good of the team make him an MVP contender, according to the Prince of Paris : “ I know I’m one of the final three candidates in the running for the LNB MVP. We finished first and I think I deserve it given my season. I’ve had a tremendous season, both in terms of scoring and in the way I’ve led the team to victory. Even though we’ve been through a lot of tough times, I’ve fought hard and played every game. I think I’ve reached a new level, and being the best player on the best team deserves the MVP award. ”

Nadir’s teammates will return to the adidas arena on Tuesday 26 May for Game 1 of the LNB Quarter-Finals. Throughout these playoffs, Paris Basketball will need your support. So book your ticket today by clicking on this link !
