Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is closing in on Wilt Chamberlain
I LeBron James is on an incredible streak of 10+ point games, 1,294 games in a row, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is on another outstanding streak. this night against the Blazershe signed his 90th game in a row with 20 points or more. In NBA history, only one player has done better, and that is Wilt Chamberlain.
“Stilt” has the two best streaks of its kind with 126 and 92 games in a row, so SGA could find itself between two streaks in three games. This shows the extent of the feat.
On your way to your first “50/40/90”?
Facing the Blazers who beat them on November 5th, the Thunder didn’t hold back last night, and the 2025 MVP set the tone with 17 points in the first quarter to give his team an already 21-point lead. Released, Gilgeus-Alexander will once again show great efficiency with 37 points on 13/18 shooting, 7 assists in just 30 minutes! He finished the game 2 of 3 from 3-point range, and this is what Marc Daigneault remembers as his leader shot a nice 40% in this drill this season.
“When we talk about Shai, we often talk about his consistency and confidence” reminds the Thunder coach at the press conference. “His career, he didn’t get off to a great start on threes, but that didn’t slow his progress. He kept hitting the same shots, and his confidence allowed him to turn things around. You have to give him credit for pushing through, and that’s huge for us because teams used to ignore him on threes.”
To be specific, SGA has already been more proficient on 3-pointers in his career at nearly 42% on 3-pointers since his 3rd year. But this season he was never that close to the mythical “50/40/90”, and when we take a closer look at his statistics, we see that he has never made so many passes in his career with an average of 6.6 passes. Another strong sign of his progress.
