Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Gets Honest About His Recent Big Performance

The Oklahoma City Thunder are the best team in the Western Conference, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander might be the best player in the NBA.

He’s certainly the frontrunner for this year’s MVP and has been having some amazing games lately.

On Monday, Gilgeous-Alexander talked about his recent track record via NBA on X.

He said the numbers are important and something to be proud of, but “you play the game to win.”

Gilgeous-Alexander made it clear that all he really cares about is earning a victory, and while putting up over 50 points is nice, it doesn’t matter as much as a win.

"You play the game to win."@shaiglalex doesn't concern himself with the numbers if they don't result in wins
