After an exceptional 2024-2025 season, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander started again on the same bases in 2025-2026. Far from being satisfied by his first NBA championship title, the Canadian continues to impress his world. In particular a certain LeBron James.
In addition to his totally crazy current streak (101 consecutive matches with at least 20 points), the leader of the Oklahoma City Thunder is displaying a pretty incredible performance. By taking almost 20 shots per match, he displays superb efficiency: 55.7%.
Pour son podcast Mind The Game, James praised SGA’s progress.
“He continues to improve? Absolutely. We talk about his series of matches with at least 20 points, but he does it with remarkable efficiency. He has such performance, we know his mid-distance game. And I think he is doing even better this season at mid-distance compared to last year, it’s totally crazy.
This NBA title will allow him to go even higher. You know you can do it. You did it, you reached the top. And now it’s going even higher. Currently, he is producing excellent basketball, almost perfect,” said LeBron James.
It is no coincidence that Shai Gilgeous-Alexander emerges as the favorite, just ahead Nikola Jokicfor the MVP trophy. And the 27-year-old talent has clearly earned the respect of his peers.
