It has been years since the Thunder have had multiple All-NBA teams. The last time was in 2019, with Paul George<\/a> making the first team and Russell Westbrook<\/a> making the third team. The new generation of Thunder greats is breaking the drought of multiple All-NBA selections.<\/p>\n

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander<\/a> and Jalen Williams<\/a> are the new Thunder duo to make the All-NBA teams together. Gilgeous-Alexander is an All-NBA first-team member, and Williams makes the third team. This is Gilgeous-Alexander’s third All-NBA selection and Williams’ first selection. Both had fantastic seasons and are deserving of these awards. Let’s take a deep dive into their seasons.<\/p>\n

Shai’s Historic Season<\/h3>\n

Gilgeous-Alexander had a season that will go down as one of the greatest seasons by a guard in history. He scored 32.7 points on 51.9 percent shooting, five rebounds, and 6.4 assists per game. These stats helped him win his first MVP<\/a> in his career. His defense was also great, racking up 1.7 steals and a block a night.<\/p>\n

Shai also became the second player in NBA history to score 30 or more points a game on 50 percent shooting to go along with at least five rebounds, five assists, 1.50 steals, and one block. The other player was Michael Jordan<\/a>. This is some elite company to be a part of. Although Gilgeous-Alexander has had some controversy this season due to his free-throw numbers, this is just an excuse fans have when Shai plays better than their favorite player. Even Gilgeous-Alexander said so<\/a> when talking to Richard Jefferson<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

Richard Jefferson says SGA told him that no one cared when he was taking 11 free throws per game on a 10th seed, but now that he\u2019s taking 9 a game and sending everyone\u2019s favorite player home, people suddenly care \ud83e\udd76<\/p>\n
