When an NBA player’s accomplishment is mentioned in association with Wilt Chamberlain, it is usually because they are doing something special. When an NBA player passes Wilt Chamberlain, there’s no room for debate.
That’s what Oklahoma City Thunder superstar Shai Gilgeous-Alexander did over the weekend, passing Wilt for the most consecutive 20-point games in NBA history with his 127th against the Boston Celtics. He kept the streak going by reaching 20 exactly the next time out in the Thunder’s 116-103 over Anthony Edwards and Minnesota.More importantly for SGA and OKC, the win put the Thunder 3.5 games ahead of the Spurs in the Western Conference as they look to secure their second top-seed in the playoffs in as many years.
“Those types of things never mattered to me,” Gilgeous-Alexander said after the game against Minnesota, where he shot 7-for-22 and needed 10 points in the fourth quarter to keep the streak alive.
“If I have a night like I had tonight and we win the way we did tonight for the rest of the season, I’ll be the happiest guy on Earth. Winning is all that matters.”
Which brings us to today’s quiz. SGA now has 369 20-point games in the regular season, 26th-most among active players. With that being said, can you name the active NBA players to score 20 points at least 200 times in their career?
Good luck!
