Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the NBA with 175 total clutch points on the way to also winning Kia Clutch Player of the Year.
On May 21, 2025, Oklahoma City guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander joined an exclusive club as just the 36th player in NBA history to be named Kia Most Valuable Player.
On Sunday, just four days shy of a full calendar year later, he joined the “club within the club,” becoming only the 16th player to win multiple MVP honors since the award was introduced in the 1955-56 season.
Gilgeous-Alexander is the 14th player to win consecutive MVPs, and the seventh to do so this century, joining Nikola Jokić, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Stephen Curry, LeBron James (twice), Steve Nash, and Tim Duncan.
Before he leads the Thunder into the Western Conference Finals against the Spurs on Monday (8:30 ET, NBC/Peacock), we break down his historic run over the past two seasons by the numbers.
140: Set the NBA record for most consecutive 20+ point games on March 12 when he posted his 127th straight game in a win over the Celtics. SGA eclipsed the previous mark held by Wilt Chamberlain since 1963, extended his streak to 140 games through the end of the regular season, and will continue adding to it in 2026-27.
68: Played in 68 games this season, becoming the first player since Chamberlain in 1963-64 to score 20+ points in every game of a regular season (min. 50 games played).
43: In addition to scoring at least 20 points every time he played, Gilgeous-Alexander posted 43 games with 30+ points, eight games with 40+ points, and one game with 50+ points this season as he finished second in the league in scoring at 31.1 points per game.
55.3: Became the only guard in NBA history to average more than 30 points while shooting better than 55 percent from the field. He also joined Michael Jordan as the only guards to average at least 30 points on 50 percent shooting or better in four consecutive seasons. Jordan had five straight seasons from 1987-88 through 1991-92, a mark Gilgeous-Alexander can match next season.
2,117: Surpassed 2,000 total points for the fourth consecutive season, the longest active streak in the league and the longest since James Harden had six straight seasons from 2014-15 to 2019-20.
175: Led the league in total clutch points on his way to earning Kia Clutch Player of the Year honors. Gilgeous-Alexander accomplished this despite appearing in the fourth quarter only 42 times in his 68 games because OKC often held commanding leads entering the final frame.
788: Recorded the league’s highest total plus/minus this season, finishing more than 100 points ahead of the second-ranked player.
20.1: Led the league in perimeter off-ball gravity, which quantifies how much a player pulls defenders towards him above expectation, essentially measuring how much attention he draws compared to what the spacing on the floor predicts.
14.0: Led the league in points on drives while shooting 59.2 percent on such plays. This efficiency propelled him to 10th in the NBA in points in the paint (12.4 per game), which ranked third among guards.
92: Over his last two MVP seasons, Gilgeous-Alexander has totaled 92 games with 30+ points, 21 games with 40+ points and five games with 50+ points. He joins Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (1970-71, 1971-72) as the only players in NBA history with at least 90 30-point games, 20 40-point games and five 50-point games across back-to-back MVP seasons.
