Oklahoma City Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is currently having one of the best playoff runs in the history of the game. As he leads the Thunder into the finals against the Indiana Pacers, he’s averaging 29.8 points, 6.9 assists, and 5.7 rebounds and he joined some NBA legends along the way.
Fresh off an MVP season, Gilgeous-Alexander joined Philadelphia 76ers legend Allen Iverson and Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan as the only players to win MVP and have 10-plus playoff points with 30-plus points and 4-plus assists.

Iverson took to Instagram to welcome Gilgeous-Alexander to the club as the Sixers legend continues to prop up the greats in today’s game.
Now, Gilgeous-Alexander will look to lead the Thunder to their first NBA championship in franchise history. Of course, the Thunder won a title back in 1979 as the Seattle SuperSonics, but they gave up their Seattle history when they moved to Oklahoma City in 2008. Game 1 with the Pacers is set for Thursday at 8:30 p.m. EDT.
