The NBA is back, and this year Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Thunder go from the hunter to the hunted after their incredible season which led to the franchise's first championship since its Seattle days (miss you, SuperSonics).
Gilgeous-Alexander's first MVP season saw him score 32.7 points per game, a career high and his third year in a row averaging 30 or more a night. He dropped 50 points in a game for the first time in his career last season and proceeded to reach the feat four times over the regular season, while no other player had more than two 50-point games (Stephen Curry, Nikola Jokić).
