Arbitrary cutoffs are for the 3 minute ESPN audience that wants to see "since (arbitrary date)" records being broken to buy into the progressive construct. "Real NBA fans" know the games history. Future negged.

You might want to take a look at Nate Archibald, Allen Iverson, Pete Maravich (if you consider him a point guard), Jordan during the 88-89 season and a slew of other players.

Doesn't matter, I'm 6'9'' and 240ish points, I could have probably put up Wilt numbers in any era before the 80s.

[Magic 32]

no where as good as the 3 I listed, nice try though bud

24 points + 48 assisted points.

72 points in total.

assists are bs sometimes so it isn't fair to say that he caused 48 extra points.

Archibald was a point guard. So far you have proven to be about as educated an NBA fan as the cocky college kid who sat next to me at a bar last week and told me Dennis Rodman, the "center" for the Pistons and Bulls, wouldn't be able to play center in this era.

most of his career was before 1980 so I don't really care about him tbh.

Good luck making any future "all-time/definitive" claims after admitting you don't know shit about basketball in an "all-time" all inclusive way.

And like I said good luck making "all-time/definitive" claims by admitting to not being inclusive to "all-time". Are you even aware how stupid openly contradicting yourself sounds? I'm trying to help you out breh, you aren't gonna make a positive name for yourself here being a guy who can't make a thread or express an opinion without openly contradicting himself.

Well don't make a thread that says "of ALL time" then if you're going to intentionally ignore nearly half of the league's history.

Remove this from the list. It took place in 1980. According to your "mid 1980's" criterion Magic's game doesn't qualify and took place during an irrelevant era. In no way is 1980 considered the "mid 1980's".

Magic Johnson is a mid 80s player so he counts.

Was Jennings not playing in the first quarter, or did he just not score.

Cuz if he was out there and just didn't score, then he didn't have 55 points in 3 quarters, he had 55 points in 4 quarters.

Brandon Jennings is a top 10 point guard today.

Brandon Jennings is barely better than Raymond Felton... he is more like a bottom 10 starting PG. See? I gave him his due :cheers:

[Vman23]

Gilbert Arenas from December 2007.

60/8/8 on the road, most points ever scored in overtime, being guarded in the 4th quarter/OT by prime Kobe Bryant.

Arenas almost had a triple double tho, was on the road, and was dueling with Kobe Bryant in an extremely close game.

[DoodleDa]

name 10 PGs better than Jennings fool

In no particular order, 10 PGs better:

Rondo
Lowry
Curry
Parker
Westbrook
Paul
Irving
Lillard
Dragic
Wall

Let's not stop there:
Conley
Lawson
Teague
Thomas
Williams

And numerous others based on the fact that they aren't dumbasses.

[joeyjoejoe]

Here's a few of cp3 best games
07 vs suns 42 5 9 8
13 vs gsw 42 2 15 6
And a couple triple doubles with 7 steals
08 vs dallas 33 10 11 7
08 vs sixers 27 10 15 7

[NustABut]

took over time when Jennings did it in 3 quarters.


This really only applies if he didn't play in a quarter... he played in all 4... couldn't hit shit in the first. :coleman:

Kobe's 62 against the Mavericks on the other hand was a true "in 3 quarters"

[GimmeThat]

no matter how you put it, there's only 48 minutes a game.

The time will come (and it is already coming) when people for whom NBA starts from mid 80s and say that old players like Wilt and Oscar couldn't play in the modern game will need to arguing in future (10 to 15 years from now) to the younger posters that:

1) MJ could play today
2) Shaq is not only fat scrub who dominate in weak era
3) Ben Wallace doesn't outplay Shaq in 2004
3) there was NBA before 2000
4) Hakeem > Ibaka

And this is the time cycle.

That just means you don't know jack about the NBA. It's okay, you're not the first kid who is anxious to be an expert about matters without actually knowing anything.

no it is scientifically proven that the era before the 1980s is so weak that it doesn't matter.

[julizaver]

no it is scientifically proven that the era before the 1980s is so weak that it doesn't matter.

Now it is scientifically proven that you are clown - putting 1980 game of Magic as one of the greatest ever and claiming at the same time that NBA prior to 1985 doesn't count.

I have one question for you ?


Doesn't matter, I'm 6'9'' and 240ish points, I could have probably put up Wilt numbers in any era before the 80s.

Your posts make me think that you are very young, which is not bad at all - because if you are a grown person let's say over 17 it will be very very sad, because you will be hardly considered a troll also.

So the questions is: Are you Shaquile O'Neal in the making ? 14-15 years old with 6-9 240 body ?

After having noticed this thread...you give his age too much credit. His posts don't mean he's young, they mean he's stupid (or a troll or both). Even a 14-15 year old knows how to use the "scientifically proven" phrase in a much more realistic way. Given his inclination of bullshitting, he's probably nowhere near 6-9 or 240, either.
