The Golden State Warriors vs. The Oklahoma City Thunder match will remain memorable. The 7’2’ rookie for OKC, Chet Holmgren, was able to capitalize on the fact that because of injury, Steph Curry played way below par in this game, marking the best showing in which he had starred by his early days in the tall-man scored a game-high of 36 points and 10 rebounds which helped his side win an exhilarating 130 – 123 overtime.

Finally, Holmgren made it rain with an improbable buzzer-beater that put the game into overtime. NBA noticed that and fans revived Holmegren to Rookie of the Year discussion.

The Warriors fans have compared Holmgren to young Kareem Abdul-Jabber with similar abilities like no other. Fans are still left wondering as his agility, the ability to block any shots taken against him, and impressive offensive skills draw comparisons with no one else. The more that young talent shines, the greater is the echo of Kareem’s greatness upon Holmgren’s outstanding shows on these courts. A fan with an X.com account @big_business_ tweeted:

Chet trails Wemby in statistics, but OKC’s track record and Chet’s effectiveness could give him the advantage against the Frenchman. Before this season’s Rookie of the Year is determined, there is still much work to be done. One thing is for sure, though: the winner of this year’s ROTY award will have faced one of the most difficult contests in history.

Oklahoma City Thunders fans go crazy as Chet Holmgren seals victory with 36-Point masterclass

At exactly 1.6 seconds before regulation, Warriors’ Andrew Wiggins shot a vital three points that brought their score to a mere difference of three points over the Thunder with both teams tied at 114-114.

In what could arguably be described as a turnaround buzzer-beater, Chet Holmgren almost stole the game in extra time for the Warriors after leading his team on what seemed like a losing streak of five games until finally it stopped. Once Holmgren made his absurd shot, silence set upon the Chase crowd in disbelief. Here are some of the reactions:

The crowd was inconsolable after Chet Holmgren’s amazing 36-point performance. He now has an advantage over 7’5 rookie Victor Wembanyama as they named him this year’s Rookie of the Year. Chet is far superior to Wembanyama, according to a lot of supporters, and the Spurs youngster could never perform what Chet did tonight.
