It only took one game for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander to enter another elite conversation

The 2025-26 NBA season only just came underway this past Tuesday, yet OKC Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has already etched himself into yet another elite conversation with one of the game's all-time bests.

In Oklahoma City's epic 125-124 opening night win over the Houston Rockets, the point guard wrapped up his 47 minutes of action with an impressive stat line of 35 points, five rebounds, five assists, two steals, and two blocks on 46.2 percent shooting from the floor.

While some may be starstruck by the reigning MVP's performance right out of the gates, to Thunder fans, this is merely just another day at the office for SGA.
