De La Salle University's Kevin Quiambao has been awarded his second consecutive UAAP men's basketball Most Valuable Player title.

He registered 81.357 statistical points, averaging 16.64 points, 8.64 rebounds, 4.07 assists, and 1.0 steal per game in the elimination round.

Quiambao is the first Green Archer to win consecutive MVPs since Ben Mbala in 2017 and the first local player since Kiefer Ravena to achieve this feat.

He was also named to the Mythical Team for the second straight year, joined by teammate Mike Phillips, UP's JD Cagulangan, FEU's Mo Konateh, and UST's Nic Cabanero.

In Game 2 of the UAAP Season 87 finals, Quiambao scored 22 points, including 11 in the fourth quarter, to help DLSU force a Game 3 with a 76-75 win.

His performance in Game 2 was a redemption after a difficult Game 1 loss where he struggled in the second half.

This second straight MVP award is potentially his last for La Salle as a Korean Basketball League (KBL) stint is reportedly awaiting him after UAAP Season 87.
