Shai Gilgeous-Alexander eclipses Kevin Durant, sustains unreal streak

That wasn't the only historic feat achieved by the Toronto native when his Thunder beat the Celtics, 118-112, in a possible NBA Finals preview.

The MVP frontrunner scored over 20 points, 34 to be precise, for the 60th consecutive time this season, joining Durant, Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant as the fourth player since the NBA-ABA merger to sustain such a streak, and seventh overall. Only Wilt Chamberlain maintained the streak on two separate occasions, scoring over 20 points across 80 consecutive games in the 1961-62 and 1963-64 seasons.

With 16 games left, SGA has a realistic chance of surpassing Durant, Bryant, Jordan and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar on the list. Jordan scored over 20 in 69 consecutive games in 1990-91 en route to his second MVP award. 

Earlier in the season, SGA joined Jordan as only the second player ever to record 30+ points in 40+ games over three consecutive seasons. 

It's not just his consistency but his efficiency that has placed him among the all-time greats. Gilgeous-Alexander is on the verge of joining Jordan as the only guard in history to average over 30 points at 50 percent shooting for three consecutive seasons, a feat that eluded other greats such as Bryant, Stephen Curry and Robertson.

The Toronto native is on his way to becoming an all-time great himself. He's all but certain to clinch his first scoring title (32.8) and MVP award this season.
