Letting the first season on this list not win MVP would be a pretty embarrassing mistake

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has not missed a shot in the 4th Quarter/OT since March 17 42 points scored 11/11 from the field

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander as a 6’6 guard is shooting 60% on 2s this season. For context Shaq’s best season with the Lakers during his prime he shot 58.4% on 2s.

Shai is scoring 31.6 PPG and there are *29* players this season who miss more shots per game than him The efficiency at that volume is just completely mind-boggling

Lu Dort magnet ball. You love to see it

Everybody is better than Shai until it’s time to be better than Shai

Devin Booker relies on free throws for 27.2% of his points. 4th highest in the league.

The Oklahoma City Thunder have now played 16 games since March 17. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has missed ONE Q4/OT shot over that span.

Shai is the best player in the world and that should be the consensus opinion at this point
