Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has officially etched his name into NBA history with a statistical achievement that places him in rarefied air alongside none other than Michael Jordan.
With the conclusion of his latest campaign, the Oklahoma City Thunder star became just the second player ever—joining Jordan’s legendary 1991–92 season—to record at least 3,000 points, 600 assists, 150 steals, and 80 blocks in a single season, including the playoffs. That’s right: in the long and storied history of the league, only two players have ever put up such all-around numbers across scoring, playmaking, defense, and shot-blocking in one campaign.
Gilgeous-Alexander’s milestone is a testament to his growth into a true two-way superstar. While he’s always been known for his smooth offensive skill set, this season has showcased his evolution as a complete player. His ability to create plays for teammates, disrupt passing lanes, and protect the rim all while shouldering a massive scoring load highlights the rare versatility he brings to the game.
What makes this feat even more remarkable is the comparison to Jordan’s 1991–92 season—a year in which MJ led the Bulls to a 67-15 record and his second consecutive NBA title. While Gilgeous-Alexander’s Thunder may still be building toward that level of team success, his individual brilliance is undeniable.
As Oklahoma City continues its ascent in the Western Conference, Gilgeous-Alexander’s historic performance solidifies him as one of the premier players in the league—and a name already being etched alongside the greats.
Stat Line to Remember:
- 3,000+ points
- 600+ assists
- 150+ steals
- 80+ blocks
Company: Michael Jordan.
That says it all.
