inb4 some old-*** will ask for wilt to be included

[ripthekik]

Kobe leads the list with 5 games, MJ with 4. Everyone else has only 1.

[Take Your Lumps]

Damn, Gilbert damn near had a triple double to go with those 60 pts.

[Champ]

Missing MJ's playoff game.

[ripthekik]

Missing MJ's playoff game.
True, that list was searched on the basis of regular season. If including playoffs, there is only one game missing: MJ's

Along with Thompson's 73, Barry's 64, Gervin's 63, West's 63, some from Baylor and a lot from Wilt. Jordan's 63 against the Celtics too.

In my book, and most ardent Lebron James fans' book, the rebound counts. The triple double stands as the GREATEST modern day statline in a single game.

Sad that it only counts in that/the dumb-****s' book. :oldlol:

Amazing game from LBJ, not the greatest statline in a single game, modern or not, even stealing rebounds from teammates couldn't get it done :lol Statpadding wasn't enough there.

[Duderonomy]

Everybody talks about 81. But Kobe also had 62 against Dallas (sat out the 4th)In the same season.

He didn't "steal" the rebound, a rebound is a rebound. And it IS the greatest statline in a single game and what's more it happened at the Mecca. Probably the most impressive game any player could dream of having. Lebron did that with ease.

To you, everything Lebron does is jerking-off material so I wouldn't be suprised. Apart from people like you it didn't count, officially it didn't count, so stay mad :lol

No, a rebound is not a/any rebound, same goes for points and so on. If you score 2 points when the game is already decided is not the same as scoring before, for example. You can grab important rebounds, tough rebounds to grab, so on, and you can also steal rebounds from teammates or your teammates let you having it, like it happens a lot with Lebron, rebounds that could be grabbed by another one of his teammates, "easy" rebounds, with no chance of any opponent to get the ball. Shit like that is basically statpadding and don't matter much in the long run, even if it does appear on box-scores and stans go wild about it.

Stay mad though. :lol

I'm not mad at all. It happened, to me it has happened and it is the greatest stat line of all time.

Officially >>>>>>>>> your (ignorant) opinion

[Sakkreth]

That's petty strange that they took away that rebound, it was clear rebound. You can discuss if he stole it from teammates or something, but that was 100% rebound.

[HoopsFanNumero1]

Just saw the last play again. How does that not count as a rebound?

He didn't have posession of it, travelled and jumped out of bounds.
How is that a rebound.

[HoopsFanNumero1]

I just saw that he stepped out of bounds, but he clearly had full possession of it before passing it. What's the point of taking away a rebound after the game is over? Are they gonna start taking points away for bad calls next?

Re: There are 17 fa.gs with 5000+ posts since 2006 ... OP is the biggest one of them

He def. did not have posession of the ball. He was mid-air with no possibility to hold the ball for even one more sec. That's basically a cooler tip-out so to speak

[J Shuttlesworth]

Even if you take away the rebound, it's still the greatest stat-line we've seen

[Ed Wachter]

That's not the rebound in question. The rebound in question happens at the 39 second mark in the 4th.

Every video I've seen skips from 52 seconds to LeBron's FTs to 22 seconds. I haven't seen a video of the rebound in question yet. It must exist though.

Oh so that means the league forgot to take another rebound away. So 52-8-11. Still amazing, but keeps getting worse day by day

Someone please find video of the rebound at 39 seconds. Settle this. Download the entire game if you must.

That makes more sense because the last one was a clear rebound.

33 shots and 19 FTs to get 52 points? Stealing rebounds from teammates? The Knicks?

This coming from a guy who joined an online basketball forum to act tough and call people f@ggots? Sit down and shut the **** up :oldlol:

[samballs]

Malone and Kobe's 61 point games two big what if games. Kobe sitting 4th and Frank Laden pulling Malone early.

To me Jordan's 63 on Celtics is the most impressive. Playoffs, 80s celtics defense... Wow!!!

[Inferno]

**** outta here :oldlol:

[no pun intended]

Melo is the only one on that list who did it with 10 free throw attempts...

[Eric Cartman]

To me Jordan's 63 on Celtics is the most impressive. Playoffs, 80s celtics defense... Wow!!!

Why is everyone impressed by that performance?

He did it against a bunch of white guys.

[RedBlackAttack]

That was an amazing run. He was also scoring 40+ points every other night.

http://i40.tinypic.com/1z1a2cn.jpg

From strictly a scoring standpoint, that was probably the greatest 23 game run I've ever personally seen.

This and the first post of 60pts games tell us one thing. Mj and kobe are the greatest scorers in the history of the game. KD is gunning for the third spot currently.

[Blue&Orange]

Melo on .657 and only 10ft. :bowdown:

[Riley Martin]

That's all?

[rip2]

That's all?
Yeap. It's an very elite group..

[SsKSpurs21]

Karl Malone shoots 80%! :eek:

[colts19]

Just to get all the MJ fans going. Of all those games, only 2 of those were in a loss. Both by MJ. 2 wins and 2 losses. If you include the Celtics playoff game that would make him 2 and 3.

[r0drig0lac]

the admiral with 71/14/5 :applause: :bowdown:

[necya]

During 89-90 season, 3 different players went for 60pts

[riseagainst]

A.I. 47%FG.

:oldlol:

and Karl Malone 21/26 80%FG.

:bowdown: :bowdown:

Confused by this post because aren't tip outs recorded as rebounds. For example if Shaq tipped the ball out to Horry than he would be credited with a rebound not Horry. So if the play in question is similar to a tip out then I don't see how it can be argued that it isn't a rebound.

[EnoughSaid]

Karl Malone: 61 points, 18 rebounds on 21/26 shooting and 19/23 free throws in 33 minutes played.

:wtf: :wtf: :wtf:
