Shai Gilgeous-Alexander explains how he channels LeBron James

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is one of the best players in the NBA this season, and it seems like he has been channeling the mentality of LeBron James, one of the best players to ever step on the court.

According to ESPN, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been putting an emphasis on coming alive in the fourth quarter. As he explains, this is something that has made LeBron James so dominant. In order to be the best, you have to emulate the best. Clearly, this strategy is working for Shai, who has his Oklahoma City Thunder near the top of the Western Conference standings.


Additionally, Gilgeous-Alexander is a front-runner for MVP this season. The team was in a rebuilt just a few years ago, and now, they could potentially go deep in the postseason. If it weren't for Shai, they probably wouldn't even be in the play-in. It just goes to show the impact he's had in such a short time.
