The Thunder are going to the NBA Finals, and the credit goes to more than just OKC's MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
Center Chet Holmgren has been phenomenal, putting up numbers that we haven't seen since Robert Parish in the 1981 playoffs.

What rare statline has Holmgren produced?
In the postseason this year, Chet has averaged 16.4 PPG, 8.6 RPG and 2.0 BPG in under 30 MPG.
Robert Parish was the last and only player to average over 15 PPG, 8.6 RPG and 2.0 BPG in under 30 MPG when the Celtics won it all in 1981.
Parish played a key role in winning the title that year as the team's premier center, and now Chet could replicate that by contributing to OKC's first championship.

Holmgren missed his entire rookie after suffering an injury in a pro-am game in the summer of 2022 when playing against LeBron James.
Holmgren was second in Rookie of the Year voting to Victor Wembanyama, after a stellar rookie year campaign.
He suffered another injury that kept him out for three months in the middle of this season and has helped tremendously since returning to the OKC lineup a few months ago.
