Awesome thread! I was honestly expecting LeBron's 2009 to be his high but dang, 2012 was amazing.

Also, 2000 Shaq with less than 2001 AI/2009-2010 Kobe? Very surprising.

Would it be too much work to look up the 90's one? Would you want help?

[JohnFreeman]

Wade is a beast in the playoffs. Still underrated in my opinion.

[aj1987]

Wade has 3 in '10 (in only 5 games!) and 2 in '12 as well.

[JohnFreeman]

Anyone remember the insane 41 point game Wade had against the Pacers?

Like it was yesterday. Dude was ****ing ridiculous with those teardrop floaters and fade aways.

This is another amazing game:

If he had just a little more help, we could've seen Wade vs LeBron in the Playoffs and potentially Wade vs Kobe in the Finals. :eek: :eek: :eek:

@TheMarkMadsen, you need to add Wade in '10 and '12.

Wade always seemed to give Kobe trouble. 06 Heat vs 2010 Lakers :eek:

Where's Duncan's 30 pt Finals game 6?

[Droid101]

He only did top 5 each year, so people calm down.

[Droid101]

Also, 2007 what a weak ass year. Kobe in the top five with only 5 playoff games played.

[Boston C's]

Ray Ray has had several in 2001 with the bucks as well as 2009 with the C's...Pierce had a few in 2008 as well

[TheMarkMadsen]

Ray Ray has had several in 2001 with the bucks as well as 2009 with the C's...Pierce had a few in 2008 as well


Ray had 3 in 01.

PP had 2 in 08.

[Doranku]

Kobe with 41 in 3 years. :wtf: :wtf: :eek: :eek:

[TheMarkMadsen]

Kobe with 41 in 3 years. :wtf: :wtf: :eek: :eek:


pretty incredible..

what's even more incredible is during that span there were only 3 occurrences where a Laker other than Kobe scored 30pts in a playoff game

a span that included 3 finals and 2 championships


for comparisons sake the HEAT(who have also appeared in 3 straight finals and won 2 championships) have had 10 occurrences where a HEAT player other than Lebron scored 30 pts in a playoff game.

Kobe was carrying an unusually large amount of the scoring load for one player to carry, which usually doesn't result in championships

Dang, Terry Cummings averaged 25 and 10 in the '90 post season. I had no idea. He and David Robinson (24, 12, and 4) made one heckuva one-two punch. I always figured Cummings was on his way out of his prime at that point.

Also, Richard Hamilton in 2004, did he have three or four 30 point games?

3.

[RoseCity07]

Do 40 point games. Brandon Roy lit up Battier and Artest in game 7. I think 2008.
