SGA Joins Exclusive List of NBA Legends After Another Outstanding Performance
Oklahoma City Thunder Reach 60 Wins Behind SGA Historic Streak NBA
The Oklahoma City Thunder continue to dominate the NBA, becoming the first team this season to reach the 60-win mark with a commanding 121-105 victory over the Sacramento Kings.
At the heart of it all? Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who delivered yet another MVP-caliber performance, scoring 32 points, grabbing seven rebounds, and dishing out five assists in the win.
While SGA’s numbers have been stellar all season, this particular performance carried even more significance—he has now joined an elite group of NBA legends by recording 65 consecutive games with 20+ points in a single season.
Only three players in NBA history have achieved this feat before:
Wilt Chamberlain – 80 games (twice)
Oscar Robertson – 76 games
Michael Jordan – 69 games
With his relentless consistency, elite efficiency, and leadership, SGA is now firmly entrenched in the MVP conversation and making a case to be recognized as one of the game’s best scorers.
SGA’s Record-Breaking Streak: How He Made History
Throughout the 2023-24 NBA season, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been the driving force behind Oklahoma City’s rise to the top of the standings.
🔹 65 straight games with 20+ points – A testament to his scoring consistency
🔹 Averaging 32.8 PPG, 6.3 APG, 5.1 RPG – One of the most complete stat lines in the league
🔹 Leading OKC to the NBA’s best record (60-12)
🔹 The NBA Legends Who Previously Achieved This Feat:
✅ Wilt Chamberlain (80 games, twice) – One of the most dominant forces in history, Chamberlain’s scoring streaks remain nearly untouchable.
✅ Oscar Robertson (76 games) – The original triple-double machine, Robertson was the standard for elite guard play and scoring.
✅ Michael Jordan (69 games) – The greatest scorer of his generation, MJ’s presence on this list highlights SGA’s achievement.
To be mentioned alongside these all-time greats is not just an honor—it’s proof that SGA is entering rarefied air in NBA history.
SGA’s MVP Case: A Clear Top Contender
With just a few weeks left in the regular season, the NBA MVP race is heating up, and SGA is right at the center of the conversation.
While Nikola Jokić and Luka Dončić remain strong candidates, Gilgeous-Alexander’s ability to carry the Thunder to the league’s best record cannot be overlooked.
His case for MVP is built on three key factors:
1️⃣ Elite production: Averaging 32.8 points, 6.3 assists, and 5.1 rebounds per game
2️⃣ Team success: Leading the Thunder to a 60-12 record, the best in the NBA
3️⃣ Consistency: Scoring at least 20 points in 65 straight games—proving his reliability
If he maintains this level of play, it will be hard for voters to deny him the league’s most prestigious individual award.
What’s Next for SGA & the Thunder?
As the Thunder inch closer to locking up the No. 1 seed, the focus now shifts to the playoffs.
With SGA leading the charge, Oklahoma City is positioned as a legitimate title contender, aiming for their first NBA Finals appearance since 2012.
🔹 Key Storylines Heading Into the Playoffs:
✅ Can SGA sustain this level of dominance in the postseason?
✅ Will the Thunder’s young core step up in high-pressure games?
✅ Is this the start of a new dynasty in OKC?
With SGA rewriting the record books, the Thunder’s championship aspirations have never looked more realistic.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s rise to superstardom has been nothing short of remarkable.
✅ Joins an exclusive scoring list with Chamberlain, Robertson, and Jordan
✅ Leads OKC to the NBA’s best record

The question is no longer if he belongs among the NBA’s elite.
The question now is: How far can he take this team?
