3122 points in a single season! Yali is second only to Harden Durant, and scores another 45 points to be the first in the 21st century

In the finals, although Jaylen Williams stole the limelight, Alexander was still very powerful, scoring 31 points, 10 assists, 2 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks, helping the Thunder defeat the Pacers 120-109, and won the finals. He won another game and led the Thunder to win the first championship in the team history.

After this game, Alexander has scored a total of 638 points in the playoffs this season, not only ranking first in the league, but also far ahead of other players. Apart from Alexander, only Brunson (530 points) who was eliminated scored more than 500 points.

Among the active players, Alexander scored 638 points in the single season playoffs, which also surpassed Antetokounmpo in 2021 (634 points), second only to James in 2018 (748 points), Leonard in 2019 (732 points), and James in 2012 (697 points), and this season has not yet ended completely. If he played two more games, Alexander's total score could also exceed 700 points.

Alexander has also scored 30+ 15 times in the playoffs, becoming the fourth player in history to achieve this feat, comparable to Jordan, Olajuwon and Kobe. He will tie the historical record if he wins another game.

Including the regular season, Alexander's total score this season reached 3122 points, which is also the third highest in the 21st century, second only to Harden (3166 points) in the 18-19 season and Durant (3156 points) in the 13-14 season. And as long as he scored 45 points, Alexander can surpass Harden and Durant and become the player with the most total scores in a single season since the 21st century. It is worth mentioning that these three are players selected by the Thunder or played for the Thunder.

In the 13-14 season, Durant averaged 32 points per game, setting a new career record, and also won the fourth scoring champion in five years, and also won the MVP. During the regular season, Durant scored a total of 2,593 points, ranking first in the league. In the playoffs, Durant led the Thunder to the Western Conference Finals, scoring a total of 563 points, which is the most in the league. In the end, he scored a total of 3156 points throughout the season, setting a new record in the 21st century.

Harden averaged 36.1 points in the regular season in the 18-19 season. He was the second player in the 21st century to average 35+ points per game after Kobe. He scored 2,818 points in the regular season alone. Unfortunately, Harden was eliminated by the Warriors in the semi-finals this year, so he only scored 348 points in the playoffs, and the total score in the final season was 3,166 points, but it still exceeded Durant's record. If he can reach the Western Conference Finals or even the finals, Harden will undoubtedly significantly increase this record.
