how many players scored 50 pt in a playoff game?

:wtf: What does Lebron have to do with this? Stick to the topic.

Not to bright are you?......U know what though, maybe I pulled this trigger too early, I should have waited untill some LeBron stans, Bird stans, Kareem stans, and Shaq stans entered this thread talking shit as if their guy ever had 50pt games in the playoffs. Silly me.

This. I really don't even understand the point of this thread. Is op saying players who don't have 50pt games in playoffs are garbage? That means most of the Top 10 players of All-Time must suck.

I would think because Kobe's teams were good enough. When you have Shaq or Bynum and Gasol, why would you need to score 50 points? You choose any perimeter player you want and I bet you'd come up with the same thing. I hate Kobe, but come one bro don't try to knock the man's skills.

This.

Part of the reason MJ put up so many 50+ point playoff games is because while his team was great defensively and could all hit shots, he was their only go-to scorer.

If you look at the sheer number of FGA/gm MJ has put up during the playoffs, it's hard to call Kobe a ball-hog. Kobe tops out at 26.4 FGA/gm while MJ topped that 5 times, going as high as 31.7 FGA/gm.

It just seems Kobe wasn't a good enough to do it honestly. He had no problem doing it in the regular season.

How come Kobe gets more topics made about than any player in the league, when he hasn't even played a game this year?

You don't see Griff making Kobe topics, 9eer has been more focused on D12 (an active player) than Kobe etc etc.

Yet his haters still gotta get their fix in so they make topics about previous seasons as if we were still in the off season with nothing to talk about :roll:

Along with Mj he has been the most prolific guard scorer ever, but yet he only managed 1 50 or game against the suns in OT. Some claim he is the best scorer of the two.

Says alot when Kobe isn't held in the same criteria as Duncan, Lebron, Shaq, Magic, Bird, Hakeem

When your argument is "Durrr Kobe isn't better than the GOAT" then you've already lost the argument you're tryin to make.

Suppose I didn't see your agenda since the first second, here's an alternative answer: Kobe has one 50-point game in the playoffs because he's one of the greatest playoff scorers ever. After all, he has more than all the players I mentioned before combined. Happy?

Number of players who have scored 50 or more in a playoff game more than once: 3

So it's a pretty rare occurrence. West did it twice and Iverson did it three times, but I wouldn't call them better scorers for it.

No, I think the OP's point was that considering Kobe's reputation as a scorer, he doesn't have as many scoring outbursts in the playoffs as one would expect. Most of his high-scoring games have come in the regular season against shitty competition like the Raptors.

You didn't answer anything. Show me Kobe scoring 50+ in the playoffs against a elite defensive team. Those creampuff suns sure showed him thro. You still haven't showed me the game. Mj went up to 63 against top 3 team ever. Dtrg is pure shit, but I like to play your game tho. The funny thing is I don't even think that 50 or game against Starks was even that impressive. Mj didn't even look like he was working for it. He just took advantage of Starks and shot over him. Starks made no adjustments at all, but Drtg says that's Mj best game in the playoffs ever right?

Pulled the trigger? LOL Lebron shoots nowhere as much as Kobe. Almost all of Kobe's 50 point games are in the regular season. Kobe's level of play drops in the playoffs and further drops in the finals. We all know this except stans.

I never said Kobe had 50+ against an elite defensive team. Though I fail to see whats magical about scoring 50 rather than 48.

Defensive rating is a metric of a team's regular season defensive efficiency.

For a best game ever you would want to know the opposition's defensive efficiency, the context of the game, the scoring, the pace of the game, did it go to overtime, assists numbers, scoring efficiency of the offensive player, his rebounding, did he turn the ball over, how was his defense....

Kobe playoffs:

25.6 ppg (20.5 fga), 5.1 rpg, 4.7 apg, 44.8% fg

Lebron regular season:

27.5 ppg (20 fga), 7.2 rpg, 6.9 apg, 49.1% fg

Lebron playoffs:

28.1 ppg (20 fga), 8.6 rpg, 6.7 apg, 47.2% fg

I'm talking about scoring wise. That should of been his hardest gane scoring ever according to you. I don't think it's his best game but by your logic it should be. I think the 42 against the Knicks the previous year was way better and cane with stiffer defense, but that Knick team was garbage defensively according to you so that's not possible right?

Did Starks play like garbage all series? Why was Jordan so inefficient for the other 5 games then? Did his wrist magically heal for just this one game? :confusedshrug:

You want to argue that since Jordan had one great game against the Knicks that year def rating isn't real and completely ignore the 5 other games. :facepalm

What are you retarded? We are talking about that game in question not the series. His wrist didn't magically heal. He played through it you dumbass.

Stop acting like this is our first time talking about this. I already posted the article on his wrist and gambling to you long ago when you denied it. I have no problem with it being your best game for him scoringwise. So all I have to do is look up dtrg and the players output to find their best game scoringwise. You have truly enlightened me know. So you think Starks played good defense along with his teammates that game. They didn't trap/double, force him into the bigs, change the player guarding him etc... like they did the rest of the seriesI see now what you consider a great defense and games. I'm about look up some all time great games against the best Drtg.

Kobe's scoring peak was 2005-06 to 2006-07. He has 17 of his career 24 regular season 50+ point games in those two seasons and of course his only 50+ point playoff game, along with his two highest ppg seasons of his career. He only played in 13 playoff games during those two years though.

2008 Playoffs Game 2 vs Denver: 49 points on 18-27 shots, 5-9 3pt, 8-9 ft, 79%TS, 76%eFG, also 10 assists. That is about as good as it gets as far as offensive dominance.

Kobe averages 19.6 fg attempts per game in the regular season and 20.5 in the playoffs so why all of the 50 point games in the regular season except one? :roll:

Lebron has only reached 50 points once I believe period regular season or playoffs because he doesn't take many FGs, but Kobe increases his FG attempts in the playoffs yet his 50 point games nearly disappear.

Lebron doesn't shoot the ball much regular season or playoffs unlike chucker Kobe whose fg attempts per game increases in the playoffs yet almost all of his 50 point games are in the regular season.

Kobe regular season:

25.5 ppg (19.6 fga), 5.3 rpg, 4.8 apg, 45.5% fg

Kobe playoffs:

25.6 ppg (20.5 fga), 5.1 rpg, 4.7 apg, 44.8% fg

Lebron regular season:

27.5 ppg (20 fga), 7.2 rpg, 6.9 apg, 49.1% fg

Lebron playoffs:

28.1 ppg (20 fga), 8.6 rpg, 6.7 apg, 47.2% fg
Kobe
30+ FGA regular season games: 105
35+ FGA regular season games: 28
40+ FGA regular season games: 9

30+ FGA playoff games: 17
35+ FGA playoff games: 3
40+ FGA playoff games: 0

His FGA/game is higher in the playoffs, but his games of very high amount of FGA games are way down compared to the regular season. You fail again. Btw Lebron has 9 50-point regular season games, not one.

Stop acting like this is our first time talking about this. I already posted the article on his wrist and gambling to you long ago when you denied it. I have no problem with it being your best game for him scoringwise. So all I have to do is look up dtrg and the players output to find their best game scoringwise. You have truly enlightened me know. So you think Starks played good defense along with his teammates that game. They didn't trap/double, force him into the bigs, change the player guarding him etc... like they did the rest of the seriesI see now what you consider a great defense and games. I'm about look up some all time great games against the best Drtg.

Yeah man I'm sure the Knicks drastically changed their defense in the middle of the series for one game for shits and giggles then went back to humiliating MJ afterwards. That sounds reasonable.

They did play him differently that game actually. He had way more one on one. Go watch the series you dumb****. This is the reason his asts went up those last two games Sith a triple double at the end.

Kobe averages 19.6 fg attempts per game in the regular season and 20.5 in the playoffs so why all of the 50 point games in the regular season except one? :roll:

Lebron has only reached 50 points once I believe period regular season or playoffs because he doesn't take many FGs, but Kobe increases his FG attempts in the playoffs yet his 50 point games nearly disappear.

Lebron doesn't shoot the ball much regular season or playoffs unlike chucker Kobe whose fg attempts per game increases in the playoffs yet almost all of his 50 point games are in the regular season.

Kobe regular season:

25.5 ppg (19.6 fga), 5.3 rpg, 4.8 apg, 45.5% fg

Kobe playoffs:

25.6 ppg (20.5 fga), 5.1 rpg, 4.7 apg, 44.8% fg

Lebron regular season:

27.5 ppg (20 fga), 7.2 rpg, 6.9 apg, 49.1% fg

Lebron playoffs:

28.1 ppg (20 fga), 8.6 rpg, 6.7 apg, 47.2% fg

:facepalm So, ur post is about how LeBron doesn't shoot as much as Kobe and that is why he doesn't have 50pt games in the playoffs, yet you show me that LeBron shoots more fga per game than Kobe in the regular season, and basically the same amount in the playoffs?....Is you right in the head bruh?:coleman:

Sleepy Floyd has the same number of playoff 50 point games as Kobe. He also has 1 more than LeBron. Who did he drop 50 on in the PLAYOFFS you ask? None other than resident horrible man defender, Magic Johnson. Yet apparently Bird was the worse defender of the two. Which is absolutely false.

Wilt has 4, all of them for the Warrriors.

And, to add to that fact, Wilt "the choker" had THREE of them in "must-win" games (two of which occurred in the "absolute elimination" games), and another in a series tied 2-2 that would go to a seventh game (and in that game, Wilt hung a 39 point, 26 rebound, 10 block game...in a win.) And, one of those "must-win" performances was against Russell. Furthermore, Wilt also had "must-win" games of 46 and 45 points (in a Finals no less.)
