Alexander: Create playoff history, surpassing Jordan and James

The NBA has always emerged with many great players, with different league styles and tactical styles in different eras, but superstars can always prove their value in any era. On this year's NBA stage, Alexander fully demonstrated his strength. From being selected for the All-Squad for two consecutive years to winning the regular season MVP, he has become a superstar. What's even more remarkable is that in the playoffs this season, Alexander not only performed well, but also tied the historical records maintained by Jordan and James.

In the past few years, Alexander has grown far faster than expected. In George's deal, he was just a supporting role, but after being sent to the Thunder, he grew steadily. In the 22-23 season, Alexander averaged 31.4 points, 4.8 rebounds, 5.5 assists per game, and was selected for the All-Star lineup for the first time. Last season, he averaged 30.1 points, 5.5 rebounds and 6.2 assists per game, once again among the All-Stars + Best Team.

This season, Alexander reached his peak with the changes in the Thunder. He averaged 32.7 points, 5 rebounds, 6.4 assists in 76 regular season games, won the title of scoring leader and led the team to a league-best record of 68 wins and 14 losses. Whether in terms of personal performance or team performance, Alexander performed well, defeating Jokic, who averaged triple-double, and was awarded the regular season MVP.

Before the start of the playoffs, many fans believed that the Thunder lacked experience and the playoff prospects were not optimistic. However, after entering the playoffs, despite the ups and downs and even a tiebreak battle, the Thunder continued to move forward steadily and successfully entered the finals. During the entire playoffs, Alexander continued the performance that superstars should have, averaging 30.4 points, 5.6 rebounds and 6.8 assists in 18 games, with a shooting percentage of 47.4%, and performed well on both offense and defense.

What is more impressive is that Alexander has contributed 30 points + 5 assists in 11 playoff games this season, tying the historical record held by Jordan and James. Previously, Jordan and James both had 11 playoff games with a record of 30+5, which is a top performance that takes into account scoring and organizational skills. Alexander, who is now questioned, has also achieved 30+5 assists 11 times this season, which can be compared with Jordan and James, which fully proves his strength.

The Thunder are currently tied with the Pacers 1-1, with at least 3 games left in the series. Therefore, Alexander is likely to surpass James and Jordan and become the first person in history to score 30 points + 5 assists in a single playoffs.
