[Bosnian Sajo]

Surprised that Kobe has only 1 50 point game in 19 years. :eek:

I'm more surprised that LeBron has not one 50 point playoff game.

Never had a deep playoff run during his most prolific scoring years (2005-2007), so we've mainly have only seen a sample size at best of of prime Shaq-less Kobe in the playoffs. When Gasol & co. arrived, his supporting cast was strong enough that whenever Kobe had an efficient scoring output in a playoff game, there's a good chance there were enough team-round contributions that the game went into garbage time and they could afford to sit out Kobe before the furtherance of his scoring volume.

[Naero]

I'm more surprised that LeBron has not one 50 point playoff game.

It looked like he was going to register his first against the Nets in Game 4 of the 2014 playoffs, but the prospect of a 50-point output was pressurizing enough that he missed his last free-throw attempt in the game (when he was fouled strategically in the waning minutes of the game). :oldlol:

[Bay Area Baller]

Ray Allen put in the rock where it needs to go. :applause: :applause:

[TheMarkMadsen]

11 > 7 > 5
russell > horry > kobe

how many times did Horry average 20 ppg during a championship run or make the all nba team or get close to winning an mvp or fmvp

[Naero]

Ironically, Allen Iverson has the fifth- and sixth-most efficient 50-point playoff games. :wtf:

How do you average 33 FGA in a 6 game series and not hit 50 even once? :biggums:

[Young X]

MJ had b2b 50 point playoff games in one series alone.

[Rocketswin2013]

GOAT gonna GOAT.

[Jailblazers7]

Damn, I remember watching the 2001 Iverson game against the Raps when he hit 8 3's so vividly. That playoff run was probably my best basketball memory. Only shot 2 FTs too which is kinda crazy.

[LAZERUSS]

:wtf: :bowdown:

Wilt's 50 point game against the Hawks in the WDF's ranks third if the rest of that list is correct. He shot 22-32 from the floor, for a .688 FG%.

BTW, Bob Pettit had a 50 point series clinching game six in the 1958 Finals (on 19-34 shooting.)

[LAZERUSS]

wow WILT chamberlain........ averaged 50 points in a friggen season and only has four good lord he is a choker

The second most 50+ point playoff games in NBA history, and you consider him a "choker." BTW, three of them came in "must win" playoff games, and one of those was against Russell.

And for the record, in Wilt's "scoring" seasons, he racked up 11 40+ point games, in his 52 playoff games in that same stretch. Oh, and five of them came against Russell. And, as a side-note...he faced Russell in 30 of those 52 games.

In any case, a "scoring" Wilt scored 40+ in 21% of his playoff games.
