Although there are many regrets in this year's NBA playoffs. Both traditional giants and old-school stars have failed to go further in the playoffs, and the era of "three emperors" of Jenkudu has come to an end. Harden and Westbrook are still far away from their first championship, and the Celtics have not been able to continue writing the dynasty chapter. However, the excitement of this playoffs has not diminished at all. Since the first round of the game, Gordon has presented the classic moment when the century-old all-dunk hit. As soon as the Rockets and Warriors met, they fought to the seventh game, and the battle was extremely fierce. Halliburton has led the Pacers to create a miracle of a Jedi turnaround many times, which is amazing. In addition, the league's new king Thunder team has made its mark, and its rise is not accidental. In fact, the Thunder have ranked first in the Western Conference for two consecutive years. They have shown extremely strong dominance in both the regular season and the playoffs, and are undoubtedly one of the best among the Western Conference giants.
If Alexander wins the championship and the Finals Most Valuable Player (FMVP) again this year, he will complete the comprehensive harvest of personal honors this season, including All-Star selection, the first team of the best team, the scoring champion, the most valuable player (MVP), the championship and the FMVP. These are all important awards in the basketball field. This move not only makes him become another outstanding player who won both MVP and FMVP in the same season after Stephen Curry (2015), but will also significantly enhance his historical status.
From a conservative estimate, Alexander's ranking in the NBA history is expected to jump to about 20th, and among the active players, his ranking can be ranked sixth after LeBron James, Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, Nikola Jokic and Giannis Antetokounmpo, surpassing Kawhi Leonard. Although Leonard holds two championship trophys and two FMVPs, his first championship was not won as the team leader, so it is slightly insufficient in some aspects. In addition, Leonard also lacks key hard honors such as scoring champions and MVPs in his career, which further consolidates Alexander's relative advantage in comparison. The core advantage of
SGA's outstanding performance in the competition is the stability of its score. He showed extremely exquisite offensive skills, able to cleverly use footstep movement and rhythm changes to create an ideal shooting space for himself at close and middle distance. In contrast, Edwards, who is also a new generation of star guards, has a relatively rough offensive skills. Edwards is often poor in offensive choices. He often either forces his shots against defense or rushes to the basket with his physical talent to force his attack. This offensive method leads to his relatively low offensive efficiency. Alexander not only shoots accurately in the middle distance, but also has strong core strength and excellent physical ductility. With these advantages, he was able to easily create kills and get free throws. Even in the case of poor hand feel, he can get points by frequently standing on the free throw line.
Alexander's performance showed certain stage characteristics during the playoffs this season. So far, its scores in only 3 games have not exceeded the 20-point mark, while the single-game scores in most games are stable in the range of 30-40 points, and its overall performance is highly stable. Among them, in the three games where he scored the most outstanding, he scored 40 points in the G4 against the Timberwolves; in the G1 match against the Pacers, he scored 38 points; and in the key G7 battle against the Nuggets, he also contributed 35 points.
Compared with the past few seasons, Alexander has shown a remarkable trend of progress, mainly focusing on two key aspects. One is the explosive level of scoring. Looking back on the past, although his scoring performance is relatively stable, there are only a handful of games where he can get super high scores in a single game. Before the regular season this season, he had never even had the experience of scoring 50 points in a single game. However, during the regular season this season, SGA has achieved a feat of 50+ points in a single game with its outstanding performance, which fully demonstrates its huge improvement in scoring ability and has stronger offensive firepower and explosive power to score points at critical moments.
The second is organizational ability. Given that Alexander plays No. 1 position, unlike other stars who are simply good at scoring, his ability to organize team attacks is steadily improving and becoming more and more significant. It can better understand the situation on the court, reasonably allocate the ball rights, and accurately create scoring opportunities for teammates, making the team's offensive system run smoother and more efficient, further highlighting his comprehensive value as a core point guard, and adding important weight to the team in the fierce competition in the playoffs. During the playoffs this year, Alexander has achieved a feat of over 30 points in 12 games and assisting more than 5 times, surpassing Jordan and James to be the first in NBA history to achieve this achievement. He has scored 30+ games in a single game, tying the records held by Olajuwon, Jordan and Kobe. On the finals stage, he scored at least 30 points, 10 assists and 2 steals and 2 blocks in a single game, heading with James, Jordan and Butler. According to the analysis of ESPN salary expert Bobby, Alexander is currently eligible for signing a super maximum salary contract. This summer, the Thunder are very likely to offer it a four-year contract with a total of up to $294 million. The salary in the last year of the contract will climb to $81.45 million. This data is expected to break the record for the highest annual salary in the NBA history, making it the first player in the league to break the $80 million mark. It can be imagined that the Thunder will definitely provide Alexander with this super maximum salary contract without any suspense. It is worth mentioning that if the Thunder wins the championship this season, Alexander will definitely surpass Westbrook and become the No. 1 player in the Thunder's history.
Alexander's current external evaluations show mixed reviews. Some fans have objections to his playing style, believing that his behavior of hitting cars in the game was more obvious and he was suspected of relying on the referee to score.
Many NBA stars support Alexander and regard this style of play as strengths and advantages. Kyrie Irving said that Alexander played in the right way, had a high level of gameplay and knew how to use the rules cleverly, which was part of the game, and so did many great players. Dwyane Wade also recognized that Alexander was not easy to cheat fouls. His cleverness lies in his performance on the field, not only in creating physical contact, but also in moving timing, angle judgment, and using rhythm and body control to mobilize defenders. This ability comes from the polishing of his skills and deliberate practice, and is also a skill that many players in the league are eager to master. Tracy McGrady even pointed out directly that the shadows of Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan can be seen from Alexander.
Given that the evaluations of these NBA stars are quite convincing, can Alexander become the league's appearance in the next few years?
