Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Joins Wilt Chamberlain in Rare Scoring Company
Star guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander of the Oklahoma City Thunder has reached a milestone that places him alongside one of basketball’s most legendary scorers. During the 2025-26 season, Gilgeous-Alexander produced a scoring run that matched a rare record previously achieved by Wilt Chamberlain. The streak highlights his consistency and offensive dominance across multiple games.
The achievement has strengthened his case as one of the leading stars in the National Basketball Association this season. Analysts point out that matching any statistical mark held by Chamberlain places a player in extremely exclusive territory. For the Thunder, the performance also reinforces their emergence as a serious contender built around Gilgeous-Alexander’s leadership and scoring ability.
💻️ Tool of the Week
Spotting Fake VPN Apps Before You Install
Fake VPN apps have become a growing cybersecurity problem. These apps appear legitimate in app stores but are designed to collect user data, inject ads, or install malware. Many copy the branding of well-known VPN providers to trick users into downloading them.
Security researchers have identified several warning signs that help users avoid these risks. Apps with extremely low download numbers, vague privacy policies, or excessive permissions should raise concern. Another red flag is when a VPN app requests access to contacts, SMS messages, or device storage without a clear reason.
Reliable VPN providers normally publish detailed privacy policies, maintain verified developer accounts, and have a long history of updates and reviews. Checking the developer name and researching the provider before installing can prevent data theft and privacy breaches.
🔧 Digital Tip
Sports fans traveling abroad often struggle to watch games because streaming services block foreign IP addresses. A lesser-known workaround uses split tunneling in a VPN. Instead of routing all internet traffic through the VPN, you configure only the sports streaming app to use the VPN server located in your home country.
This setup keeps the rest of your device using the local internet connection. As a result, streaming apps see your home-country IP address while normal browsing runs at full local speed. The benefit is smoother video quality and fewer buffering problems compared with sending all traffic through a distant VPN server.
