NBA Insider Chandler Parsons Crowns Shai Gilgeous-Alexander as the League’s Ultimate Closer Over Brunson, Cunningham
Former NBA forward Chandler Parsons has declared Shai Gilgeous-Alexander as the league’s premier closer, surpassing notable clutch performers like Jalen Brunson and Cade Cunningham. Parsons credits SGA’s ‘cool, calm, and collected’ demeanor and versatile offensive game for his late-game excellence.
Despite some fan criticisms regarding his frequent free-throw attempts, Gilgeous-Alexander’s consistently dominant individual statistics and leadership in guiding the Oklahoma City Thunder to the top of the Western Conference solidify Parsons’ assessment of his unparalleled ability to finish games.
