UK Wildcats News: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is burning

On February 8, 2025By Littum

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is on a heater in the last five to six weeks.

Oklahoma City Thunder Superstar has scored at least 50 points three times in the last 15 days while playing less than 40 minutes in each of these excursions.

For perspective, no one in NBA’s story has scored 50 points three times (while playing less than 40 minutes) in a 30-day Span.

SGA is on a historic race

becomes 1 out of 9 players ever to have 3 50+ PT games in a 7-match period
joins wilt as the only players who score 50+ points on 3 straight Wednesdays
is the first player in the OKC story that scores 50 in under 35 minutes

Frontrunner to win MVP is an average of 36 points per day. Match in 2025, and he gets his points at an incredibly effective rate and shoots well over 50% off the field.

His play also raises other members of his team as they are 13-3 in 2025. Thunder runs away with the western conference as well as Memphis Grizzlies in second place are six games left from the top place.

When Gilgeous-Alexander was with Kentucky Wildcats, someone predicted he would be this good? He has become an incredible leader and violent scores, while also contributing to the defensive end.

Each time SGA laces up to take the hardwood, he further makes his case as NBA MVP.
