Whenever Shai Gilgeous-Alexander plays, he becomes the topic of conversation on NBA Twitter.
That’s what happens when you score 30-plus points on shooting efficiency from a guard that hasn’t been seen since Michael Jordan.
Add Wednesday night to the collection as a 42-point performance, which included the game-winning step-back three, blew up on Twitter as several national media pundits weighed in.
In the end, the Thunder defeated the Washington Wizards, 121-120.
The 42 points tied Gilgeous-Alexander’s career-high points and now the 24-year-old is averaging 32.3 points on 54.8 percent shooting this season.
Let’s take a look at some of the best tweets from Gilgeous-Alexander’s night that included his first MVP moment of the season.

The thing about SGA is he is so disciplined on not cranking that step-back 3 all game even though it is totally there for him. He keeps it under lock and key and then breaks it out right when he needs it.
