DeMarcus Cousins recently weighed in on who should be the 'unanimous' MVP between Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Nikola Jokić.

Unfortunately, the Thunder wasted an all-time showing from star guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. The 26-year-old had 52 points on 16-of-29 from the field and an 18-of-21 clip from the free-throw line in a massive outing. In turn, Gilgeous-Alexander set a few NBA marks in the loss, and the NBA announced the history he made after the game.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has sat at the very top of the NBA MVP rankings over the last several weeks. This battle between him, Nikola Jokic, and Giannis Antetokounmpo has been close, but now there is a wide gap between Gilgeous-Alexander and the rest of the field.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is having a remarkable season and truly showing why he is one of the best players in the league and why OKC is a strong contender for the title.

With this performance, Shai also made NBA history. He became the only Canadian-born player to record multiple games with 50 or more points. Of course, he was tied with fellow Canadian-born player Jamal Murray of the Denver Nuggets with one 50-point game, but after his incredible performance Wednesday night, Shai now stands alone at the top.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander added another important milestone to his C.V. on Wednesday night, scoring his first 50-point game in a win over Utah.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Nikola Jokić continue to set the Kia MVP pace for each other and the rest of the field.

Gilgeous-Alexander is averaging a league-leading 32.5 points per game, and plays maestro to one of the most high-octane offenses in all of basketball. While the Warriors got the better of them on Wednesday night, head coach Steve Kerr was quick to acknowledge the challenge that SGA presents.
