Only Jordan Kobe has done it! Yali averaged 30+5+5 per game in the playoffs, the third defender in history

Since this season's playoffs, Alexander has played a total of 17 games, including 30+ in 12 of which, including 40+, thus becoming the 11th player in NBA history to get at least 12 30+ in a single season playoff game, comparable to Iverson, Elgin Baylor, Antetokounmpo, Olajuwon, Jerry West, Leonard, Kobe, James, Jordan, and O'Neal.

Among them, Jordan in 1992 and Olajuwon in 1995 both won 16 times in a single season, tied for the first place in history. In 2009, Kobe won 30+ 15 times, ranking second in history alone. Jordan in 1998, Iverson in 2001, Kobe in 2010, James in 2017, and Leonard in 2019 all won 14 times 30+.

In addition, Jordan in 1989 and 1993, O'Neal in 2000, James in 2012, and Antetokounmpo in 2021 both won 13 times 30+. Elgin Baylor in 1962, West in 1966 and 1970, Jordan in 1990, Kobe in 2008, James in 2015 and 2018 both won 30+ 12 times. In the first game of the finals, Alexander scored 38 points. If he can get 30+ in every final in the next game, Alexander is expected to tie and even break the records held by Jordan and Olajuwon. Of course, the most important thing is not how many times you get 30+, but to win the championship. If you can't win the championship successfully, it doesn't make any more than 30.

In this season's playoffs, Alexander's personal data is also very good, averaging 30.2 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 6.7 assists per game. He has become the third defender in history after Jordan and Kobe, who played at least 15 games in a single season playoff game, and averaged 30+5+5 defender per game.

can compete with Jordan and Kobe, two historical defenders, and lead the team to the finals, Alexander's personal performance is indeed very outstanding. In addition, Alexander also won the regular season MVP and the Western Conference Final MVP of this season. As long as the Thunder can win the championship, Alexander can also win the FMVP. He won the MVP and FMVP in the same year, which was something Kobe had never done before, but Alexander had this hope.

However, the Thunder Finals suffered a 15-point comeback in the last quarter of the first quarter and was defeated by Halliburton. He was behind 0-1 with a big score, and Alexander's 38 points also became an empty score. So the Thunder's current situation is not very good. They must win the second game in order to maintain their hope of winning the championship.
