Shai threatens to break historical records of Jordan and Chamberlain

The NBA is in a magical moment, with several players making history and delivering performances in terms of NBA statistics never seen before. The most evident case is that of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, whose stellar performance with the Oklahoma City Thunder places him in a privileged position to break records set by two of the all-time greats, such as Michael Jordan and Wilt Chamberlain.

Scoring compulsively and doing so with good percentages and hardly turning the ball over is something that until now seemed incompatible. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is proving that it doesn't have to be that way. The Oklahoma City Thunder point guard is the main architect of his team's historic performance, delivering memorable displays with overwhelming ease thanks to his infinite talent and technical skills. He averages over 30 points scored per game and records the lowest number of turnovers in that context ever recorded, something remarkable in itself and gaining more importance when compared to other statistical aspects.

32.8 PPG
6.5 APG (1.7 TOV)
55/43/88%
33.6 MIN

Indeed, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has scored 20 or more points in 94 consecutive games, second only to Wilt Chamberlain with 126. Furthermore, he has scored 30 points or more in 17 out of the 21 games of the Oklahoma City Thunder this season, which is 81%. Only Michael Jordan and the aforementioned Chamberlain scored 30 points or more in over 80% of their games in a single season. As if this were not enough, Shai registers a 55% field goal percentage, potentially chaining together more than 30-point games with over 50% shooting for the fourth consecutive season. Absolutely insane.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has scored 30+ points in 17 of the Thunder's 21 games this season (81%).

The only players in NBA history to score 30+ points in 80% of their team's games in a season are Wilt Chamberlain (4x) and Michael Jordan (1986-87). pic.twitter.com/bkemvMlYXU

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Michael Jordan are the only guards ever to average 30+ points per game and shoot 50% or better from the field in each of three straight seasons.

Gilgeous-Alexander has done it in each of the past three seasons and is on pace to make it four in a row.… pic.twitter.com/DaDDbuWsjh
