Preparing for the NBA Cup, Gilgeous-Alexander had quite a handful of notable quotes from what he was asked at the December extravaganza. It's one thing for pundits and fans to wonder if the Thunder could make history with the absurd amount of wins they get. It's another to hear OKC's franchise superstar fully embrace those talks.

Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander explained why he doesn't agree with the Michael Jordan comparison he got from NBA legend Steve Nash.

The Thunder led wire-to-wire, though the night took a vast turn for the worse when Grayson Allen was ejected in the third quarter. Allen sparked a scuffle on the court after taking his frustration out on Chet Holmgren when the two were meeting on a screen. Officials reviewed the play, ruled it a flagrant two and Allen was booted.
