Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Chases Wilt Chamberlain's Record

0:00Here's more NBA news for March 7th. Shy Gildges, Alexander of the Oklahoma City Thunder, is on the verge of tying Will Chamberlain's record for the longest streak of games with at least 20 points. That mark stands at 126 straight games, said by Chamberlain from 1961 to 1963. Shy needs just a few more outings to match it. His run started on November 1st, 2024, and is carried through this season. If he scores 20 or more against Golden State on Saturday, he could tie the record versus Denver on Monday and break a Thursday against Boston. All three are home games for the Thunder. No other player in NBA history has restripled digits in this category. Oscar Robertson topped out at 79 games, while Michael Jordan and Kevin Durant each hit 72. Legends like Karim Abdul-Jabbar, Kobe Bryant, and LeBron James fell short too. Which has everyone paying closer attention now.

1:00Chamberlain dominated as a 7-foot-1 center, averaging 49 points during his streak amid his four MVP awards and two titles. Shy scores differently as a guard, using mid-range shots and drawing fouls smartly. Still, his team has thrived at 100 wins and 24 losses during the streak. Thunder coach Mark De Nail, praises Shy's unseen work ethic and reliability. Chamberlain later called these long haul records more meaningful than single big nights, and Shy could own this one by week's end. Support for this episode comes from our sponsor.
