Wilt played 126 games in a row to set the streak

SGA has played 126 of 144 games to somehow tie the streak and tonight break it by getting 20 points in 127 out of 145.

Seems very participation trophy like.

Seems like two different streaks to me.

It's one of those records nobody remembers anyway.

100%. You miss a game, the streak ends.

Another example of the NBA being pussies nowadays

Congrats to SGA on his first Wilt record tho, I think Jokic broke his first 4-5 years ago. Can’t exactly remember it’s been so long ago, and so many others since then they all run together

Yes, just like in baseball your hit streak is over if you miss a game. Oh wait.

Half of SGA's points being from the free throw line kind of dilutes it anyway.

You sure about that? How about post the numbers showing it. He only had seven points from the line and four the previous game. Don’t let your hate stand in the way of the greatness that is the Thunder.

Holy shite y’all were serious. I thought the post like this in the other thread was a troll.

It’s kind of understood IMO that it’s 126 games (played) in a row since it’s an individual stat.

You wouldn’t do everyone’s PPG at the end of the season divided by 82 games just because the team played 82 games.

Before he broke this “record”, nobody knew it even existed. This is one of those made up stats to give out fake accolades and stir discussion nothing more.

Wilt averaged 11.4 FTs a game, for his entire career. 1 year, he averaged 17 per game.

SGA’s career FTA/g is 7.2. Career high was 10.9. Has only averaged above 10 in a season once. Wilt averaged above 10 FTA/g in 13 seasons.

But don’t let these facts disrupt those causal narratives champ.

Wilt also averaged 48.5 minutes per game one season. Yes, games were only 48 minutes back then too.

Nice.

SGA has a countless number of games where he never even played the 4th quarter. And still had 20+.

The telling thing to me is how many NBA vets, a large number of whom are legends, absolutely gush about SGA and his game.

Yet some Reddit/X keyboard warriors decide to discredit his game because he’ll draw maybe a couple of questionable foul calls a game.

I’m sure y’all are the authority on basketball though. And definitely not retarded.

I’ve never seen so many current players hate on another players game like Shai. It ain’t just us like yall are dying to believe. His own peers hate his arse

Because it is a scoring stat going directly off of games played. The games not played are irrelevant, because they didn't play.

The streak for the most amount of games played consecutively is a completely different streak, and the points scored per game has no bearing on that record.

I think you’re just hearing it from Jaylen Brown. A guy who got 14 FT’s tonight from foul baiting. He’s also a raging pussy just like you

If you watched the game, Brown was foul bating all night and shot twice as many free throws as Shai. He’s just being a bitch, like you guys.
