Exceptional at the start of the season, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander continues to score offensive cards and at the same time climbs the Thunder hierarchy. He is now third on Oklahoma City’s all-time scoring list.
Sorry Serge Ibaka, you’ll have to give up your place on the podium.
Author of 40 pawns (and 12 assists) against the Bulls last night, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is now at 6,092 points scored in the colors of the Thunder since his arrival in 2019. Only two players have done better in the history of Oklahoma City, and not the least: Kevin Durant (17,556 points) and Russell Westbrook (18,859 points).
“That kind of thing is always cool. You dream about it when you’re a kid. Obviously the list contains some big names.”
– Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (via ESPN)
Important detail to keep in mind: this list does not contain the best scorers in the history of the SuperSonics, who nevertheless became the Thunder when the franchise moved from Seattle to Oklahoma City in 2008. Gary Payton, author of 18,207 points with the Sonics, would be second in this case.
This nevertheless remains a nice achievement for Gilgeous-Alexander, who continues to evolve at an MVP level at the start of the season.
SGA (40 PTS, 12 AST) took OVER and led OKC to their 6th-straight win!
