The league announced all three of its All-NBA teams on Wednesday, and Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander made the first team.
Gilgeous-Alexander enjoyed the best season of his career. He averaged 31.4 points on 51% shooting, 5.5 assists and 4.8 rebounds. He earned his first All-Star berth, finished No. 2 in Most Improved Player voting and was top five in MVP voting this season.
The 24-year-old was the face of the league’s biggest overachieving team. The young Thunder finished a win shy of a playoff berth after going 40-42 in the regular season — a much better record than what most projected for OKC heading into the season.
Let’s look at some of the best tweets celebrating Gilgeous-Alexander’s biggest career accomplishment.
