In a historic moment for the Oklahoma City Thunder and the NBA, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander etched his name alongside one of basketball’s greatest legends. Just before the Thunder’s highly anticipated cross-conference matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday, the league announced that Gilgeous-Alexander had become only the second player in the last 40 years—joining Michael Jordan—to record 40 or more games with at least 30 points in three consecutive seasons. Jordan achieved this remarkable feat between 1986 and 1993 during his dominant era with the Chicago Bulls.
This milestone further cements Gilgeous-Alexander’s status as one of the NBA’s elite scorers and highlights his consistent excellence over the past three seasons. The Thunder guard has been putting up MVP-caliber performances all year, leading his team to the top of the Western Conference standings. His ability to score efficiently at all three levels, coupled with his leadership on the court, has propelled the Thunder into legitimate championship contention.
As Oklahoma City continues its impressive run, Gilgeous-Alexander’s latest achievement underscores just how special his journey has been. At just 26 years old, he’s proving that his name belongs in conversations typically reserved for legends like Jordan. With the postseason looming, the Thunder’s star is showing no signs of slowing down, and if his recent performances are any indication, he’s primed to add even more accolades to his growing legacy.
