Alexander, loyalty is law. It's the creed of the Thunder's face of the franchise, a starter in Sunday’s NBA All-Star Game by an overwhelming vote.

Although OKC Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is the MVP frontrunner, he knows his team has the ability to win it all — and that's most important.

According to OptaSTATS, he has scored at least 20 points in each of his last 50 games where he played under 40 minutes. The next longest streak of that nature is only 30 games. When SGA is pulled out of a game early, it's because he's done more than enough to earn the rest and put the game out of reach for his opponents.
