Breezing through competition and MVP numbers aren’t the only things Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is accomplishing this season. Making NBA history is another thing on his checklist. He just surpassed Wilt Chamberlain in one record, on track to match his second one. While showing effortless consistency, he’s now joined Michael Jordan in an exclusive club.

After building up to it since the start of the season, it’s offfical. The NBA announced today that Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Michael Jordan are the only guards ever to average 30+ points per game and shoot 50% or better from the field in each of three straight seasons.

This comes after Sunday night’s game between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Portland Trail Blazers. Apart from beating Portland 115-123, SGA had an easy-breezy 26 points while 8-for-15 from the field (53.3%).

Michael Jordan made this record for five seasons from 1987-88 through 1991-92, that’s overlapping with his MVP years. SGA has been this consistent for three seasons, including his championship and MVP season in 2024-25. He’s on pace to make it to a fourth season.

They’re going into tonight’s game against the Warriors as a 20-1 team and the most fearsome team in the league. SGA’s Jordan and Wilt records add a whole other layer. And what’s cooler? Maybe we’ll hear Jordan’s opinions on it.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s thoughts on Michael Jordan comparisons

The Warriors vs Thunder game airs on NBC tonight. Between this game, we’re going to see a special segment with His Airness himself. It’s not clear if it’s another short interview from MJ”s Insights to Excellence or new segments. If it were live, maybe Mike Tirico or his colleague would ask him about SGA’s new record.

Shai has been collecting the Michael Jordan comparisons for a while now. Most recently from Paul Pierce and that did not go down well. We’ve however never heard from the 6x NBA champion what he thinks about it the way we’ve got a few of his opinions on Anthony Edwards.

When the season began, and SGA was on track for this particular Jordan record, the 27-year-old had a level-headed response. “To be in those conversations, if I’m even in them, is why you play the game and what you dream about as a kid. It’s an honour.”

On the way to this Jordan moment, Shai surpassed Wilt Chamberlain’s second-longest streak of 20+ point games on Sunday. He’s got 93 consecutive games with 20+ points, on track to match Wilt’s longest streak of 126 in February 2026, and doing it while rarely playing in the last quarter.

These two records prove his consistent contribution to the team. But it also shows where Wilt carried the offensive load and Jordan himself showed frustration over carrying the team, SGA is surrounded by teammates who can share the offense with double digits of their own and still win a game.
