Oklahoma City Thunder plays like the best team in the league this season, and their record shows it, as they are currently 21-1. Nothing much has changed from what they did last season to lead them to the NBA championship, but it wouldn’t be a surprise if they got better. It definitely looks like it Shai Gilgeous-Alexander he may have gotten better, which is scary because he just won MVP last season.

Gilgeous-Alexander’s success has come with a lot of haters, especially those who don’t like the way he plays the game. He’s heard the title of free throw merchants for a while now, and he still does. Take, for example, after their game against the Golden State Warriors, he was walking to the locker room and a fan started teasing him on free throws.

“Let’s flop for more free throws, baby,” said the heckler. “You can do it. You can break the free throw record by flopping a little more. I want to see a black man win. You’re good enough to win the right way.”

In that situation, Gilgeous-Alexander could have hit back at the fan and said something, but he’s not that kind of person. Instead, the reigning MVP looked the fan in the eye and started smiling, showing him that he wasn’t bothered by what he had to say.

In their win against the Warriors, Gilgeous-Alexander finished with 38 points and made seven of his ten free throws. That doesn’t seem like a huge amount of free throws, but once people have a perception of you, it’s hard to change that.

Gilgeous-Alexander has shown that throughout his career he doesn’t need free throws to be successfuland he showed it several times this season. The main thing is that he doesn’t let the narrative affect how he plays the game and still dominates at a high level.
