Thunder guard and reigning NBA MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander broke an NBA mark set by Wilt Chamberlain 64 years ago. With 30 points against the Mavericks on Sunday, SGA secured his 59th consecutive road game with 20-plus points — Chamberlain set the historical mark at 58, ending in the 1962-63 season.
It was also SGA's 123rd consecutive game with 20-plus points, three shy of Chamberlain's all-time mark.
SGA continues to pursue history while making himself a prime candidate for back-to-back MVPs, averaging 31.8 points on 55-percent shooting from the field, 4.4 rebounds and 6.5 assists through 51 games for the Thunder, which leads the NBA with a 47-15 record.
My take: When you're getting into the same sentence as Chamberlain, what else can be said?
