Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has surpassed one of the NBA's most enduring marks, breaking Wilt Chamberlain's record for consecutive games with at least 20 points.
Gilgeous-Alexander reached 127 straight contests on March 12 against the Boston Celtics, eclipsing Chamberlain's 126-game run from 1961-63. The reigning NBA MVP's streak remains active.
Chamberlain set the previous standard during a period of unprecedented offensive dominance. In the 1961-62 season alone, he scored 100 points in a single game and posted three consecutive 60-point performances on two separate occasions within a six-week span.
The milestone comes months after another legendary streak concluded. LeBron James saw his run of 1,297 consecutive games with double-digit scoring end in December 2025, when he scored eight points in a victory over the Toronto Raptors.
Gilgeous-Alexander has established himself as one of the league's premier scorers while leading the Thunder. His consistency has now entered record-book territory alongside some of the most prolific offensive displays in basketball history.
