Okc's Gilgeous-alexander Joins Elite List Of Players To Score 50-plus At Least 3 Times In 7 Games

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander isn't just putting up MVP numbers - he's posting historic ones.

The Canadian guard scored 50 points as the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the Phoenix Suns 140-109 on Wednesday night.

Gilgeous-Alexander became the ninth player in NBA history to score at least 50 points on three or more occasions in a seven-game span, according to the Thunder. The list includes Michael Jordan, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Kobe Bryant, Wilt Chamberlain and Elgin Baylor.

Gilgeous-Alexander brushed it off when asked what it meant to join those players.

"Those guys have done so many great things with the game," he said. "I'm so far off of that. Like, it's cool, but I don't think too much of it. The most important thing is to know I'm getting better through this process."
