"First in History! Super Dark Horse Sets New NCAA Record, Surpassing Magic Johnson, Olajuwon... Everyone."
"The Genius Finisher Earns MOP; His Finals Performance Reminded Magic Johnson of Himself."
"Little Sheep Su Xi Leaps to the Pinnacle. He is Syracuse University's First MOP in History."
"..."
Su Xi's name resounded throughout the entire American basketball world.
On television, you could also see praise from famous personalities.
Magic Johnson: "All I can say is it was unbelievable. He really did remind me of myself. When he walked into the paint, I knew he was going to get the MOP. Just like when I won the Finals MVP."
