Chet Holmgren believes his Oklahoma City Thunder teammate Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has enjoyed "one of the greatest" seasons in NBA history.

Gilgeous-Alexander poured in 29 points and finished with 12 assists on Sunday, as the Thunder prevailed 103-91 over the Indiana Pacers in Game 7 of the NBA Finals to win the championship for the first time since the franchise moved to Oklahoma City.

He became just the fourth player to register 25+ points, 12+ assists and one or fewer turnovers in an NBA Finals game, after Dennis Johnson, Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan.

Gilgeous-Alexander, the NBA's regular-season MVP, was also named the Finals MVP. Only Jordan (four times), LeBron James (twice), Larry Bird (twice), Tim Duncan, Shaquille O'Neal, Hakeem Olajuwon, Johnson, Moses Malone, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Willis Reed have previously achieved that feat in the same season.

He finished as the leading scorer in the NBA, and became the first player to win the league's MVP award and the championship in the same season since Stephen Curry did so in 2014-15.

"That's going to go down in history as one of the greatest seasons that's ever been had by a player," said Holmgren.

"It's amazing to be a part of that, to witness somebody going through it, succeeding in so many different ways.

"He really makes it a joy to be around. It's never about him. It's always about us. It's always about winning.

"His talent shines through all of that. We saw that all year. He's a hell of a basketball player, but he's an even better person."

The big names Gilgeous-Alexander has joined in unique feats keeps going, too.

He is the first player to finish as the league's leading scorer and win the championship in the same campaign since O'Neal did so in 2000, and just the sixth player overall.

Only Jordan, O'Neal and Abdul-Jabbar had previously accomplished the feat of being named the NBA MVP, winning the championship and finishing as the leading points scorer in the same season.

"Those are the minutes, those are the moments when the best players, the biggest stars, the superstars, Hall of Fame players, make their name," Gilgeous-Alexander said.

"I want to have that name, I want to have those titles attached to my name.

"This isn't just a win for me. This is a win for my family. This is a win for my friends. This is a win for everyone who was in my corner growing up. This is a win for the fans."

Gilgeous-Alexander averaged 32.7 points across the regular season, and 30.3 in the playoffs.

The 26-year-old scored 212 points in the series against Indiana, which is the most in the Finals since James finished with 215 in 2015.
