It feels almost unfair how dominant the Oklahoma City Thunder have been this season, having picked up their 15th win on Wednesday night against the Sacramento Kings.
Led by the reigning regular-season and Finals MVP, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the 27-year-old point guard made history after dropping 33 points on 50% field-goal shooting, recording the fifth-most games by a point guard ever with 30+ points on 50%+ shooting from the field.

SGA now joins an elite group of players, including some of the greatest point guards in NBA history. Stephen Curry ranks atop the list with 235 games, Jerry West sits in second with 213, James Harden follows in third with 182, and Damian Lillard rounds out fourth with 156. Gilgeous-Alexander currently has 139 such games and could potentially overtake Lillard this season.
Gilgeous-Alexander is continuing to prove why he’s simply the best point guard in today’s NBA. He’s averaging 32.0 points, 6.5 assists, and 5.1 rebounds on 52.9% field-goal shooting and 38.5% from deep. Having not missed a single game this season, he’s already recorded 10 games with 30+ points on 50% shooting.
Many haters will be quick to judge SGA for the amount of foul calls he gets, with roughly a third of his points coming from the free-throw line. However, he ranks just fifth league-wide in free-throw attempts per contest and remains the only player within the top 50 to have played in every regular-season game.
While it’s still relatively early in the season, SGA remains atop the leaderboards in what’s shaping up to be a tight race to win back-to-back MVPs. Nikola Jokic and Luka Doncic sit closely behind him, while Giannis Antetokounmpo and Victor Wembanyama round out the top five. Given how well the Thunder have been performing, SGA currently holds the edge over his conference rivals.
Needless to say, he’ll continue chasing history and could one day pass some future Hall of Famers.
