[Highlight] Shai Gilgeous-Alexander hits the step-back 3-pointer to give himself 22 points on the night. He ties Wilt Chamberlain for the longest streak of 20-point games in NBA history at 126 games.
During this streak, SGA averaged 32/5/6 on 53% from the field, over 1 steal per game, and with 8 FTM on 9 FTA. It really is crazy that a streak like this has occurred in the modern day NBA.
Best 2-way guard since prime PG
Paul George?
Yes
Figured that’s what you meant but he’s more of a SF so I wasn’t sure if you meant Gary Payton and switched the letters
Since prime D Wade
Shai is way better than prime PG, what?
Awful take since he’s better than that 😭
Gotta back to Wade, Kobe or Jordan to find a guard this good on both ends
I dont want much NBA. Is he great at defense too?
Not even close to the best defender on the team, but good enough to not be a liability for the most part.
You’re selling him short. SGA is a good defender, DRTG for the season is 108.4 (which is above average) and he’s averaging 1.4 steals a game and almost a block per game. He’s not a top 10 defender amongst guards but he is very good in his own right.
I see. Ty kind sir
He’s better than average but won’t ever make an all NBA defensive team
Hes is a solid defender. Compared to some heliocentric guards and considering his offensive workload that is indeed great.
Did Kawhi just fucking died.
not a guard
PG is not a guard.
he was a 2 guard with the pacers pre-injury
He was a 2 guard on the Pacers for 2 years before Lance started in that spot, averaging 12 ppg last time he played the position.
Reddit is too busy circlejerk hating to see the greatness.
They will recognize it whether they like it or not someday.
Also 20 free throws a game,
It literally says 9 FTA in the post.
Comments like this is why I specifically noted he’s averaged 8 FTM on 9 FTA per game during the streak.
You just meant to say 20 FTA a game is all.
He’s done that 3 times in his career. Math might not be your thing but good for you for trying!
Reading comprehension smh
I’m glad y’all look dumber every game SGA plays
Hyuck hyuck hyuck hyuck
Good lord man…
Hate him or love him, 126 consecutive 20 point games is impressive as fuck.
SGA is nice. Hate his dirty teammates like Dort tho
Fuck Dort. All my homies hate Dort
I like posts where we celebrate great players
It’s rare I can sort by controversial and mfs not hating lol
Fr. Time for everyone to really kinda settle in and just admit this dude is an all time great.
I love how that kinda happens in sports. Someone starts to ball, people are like “yeah that’s pretty cool but whatever this guys only this this and that and he isn’t really a legit blah blah or whatever”. Then suddenly that guy is a bonafide great.
Shai might have his 2nd straight MVP this year, and then what? Dude is laying down a legacy in fucking cement. So cool. I love sports.
Dude’s hell of a scorer
Absolute privilege to watch his greatness. Breaking a Wilt record is a monumental achievement.
Think about how many great scorers have played in the last 60 years and couldn’t break this record.
I hope he keeps it going.
Not every day someone ties a Wilt record
Not every decade
Breaking the record on a game like this too is just beautiful
Right tho. Against a top tier team. Awesome.
All time great.
SGA is 20ppg’s father
🇨🇦 proud!
He’s him, y’all.
Legendary player :’)
I’m honestly shocked MJ doesn’t hold the record.
Surprised LeBron doesn’t have a longer streak tbh
Him developing a step back three this season has been great to see. These players unlock moves like it’s on the skill tree
This guy’s pretty good at basketball
that’s actually insane. props to shai, that kind of consistency is no joke
Who has the career record for most consecutive 8 point games in NBA history?
LeBron
Shai Butter
Legendary run
And to take the lead in a close game. Love to see it
Really thought that one was unobtainable
This guy just makes tough shot after tough shot !
It’s insane
what a finish
this was just a warm up for what’s to come
This post sadly will get less upvotes than a Doris Burke post in this sub
made-up internet points are temporary. glory is forever
Amen🤟🏻
Won’t anyone think of the poor Thunder fans? Nobody likes their team because of them and Dort’s BS. They have it so hard.
Still a fan of the Bucks & Giannis despite your daft comment
I wouldn’t recommend it. We’re not having much fun up in Wisconsin.
I would’ve given up just yet with Giannis back & Cam Thomas. Sad Dieng isn’t with us, but I think he’s a solid pick up for you guys. He just needs reps. The Badgers looks good too
