An in depth look at LeGOAT's career high

[superduper]

http://i68.tinypic.com/2ljj8cp.jpg

That is the roster that LeGOAT got his career high 61pts on vs the 2014 Charlotte BOBCATS!! That is an absolutely incredible roster if you look at it. They would absolutely wipe the floor against HOF players from the 90s are you kidding me? LOOK AT THOSE NAMES!!

For a majority of the game, 6'10 275lbs LeGOAT was guarded by absolutely BEHEMOTHICAL MONSTERS 6'4 210lbs Gary Neal and 6'5 215lbs Gerald Henderson. How good were those two players in retrospect defensively? They must have been absolute athletic BEASTS since they played in LeGOAT's era and not in the milkmen 90s era.

Does anybody have any further input on this absolutely historic achievement by our LeGOAT? :eek:

That's the team MJ drafted, makes it even more special.

What does the GOAT have to do with this thread?

[bullettooth]

Jordan dropped 63 against the 86' Celtics in a PLAYOFFS game only two years into his NBA career with Orlando Woolridge as the next best Bulls player.

LeBron dropping 61 on the Bobcats is such a low hanging fruit.

Didn

[superduper]

Didn’t MJ beat MKG in practice?

Didn’t MJ do such a good job coaches and players say he could play for them.

Wait are you telling me a 50+ year old MJ regularly schooled the best defender on that entire roster which absolute PEAK LeGOAT got his career high on? :eek:

I thought MJ was only good vs 5'4 milkmen?? What's going on here?

Guess who made more points against the same team in the same season??? Yes that's right it's the 2004 ROTY snub Melo with 62 points and a worse non playoff team:lol

Against a top 5 defense that season* Forgot to mention that did you OP?

Furthermore, just for arguments sake let's take a look at a random GOAT scorer and his big shooting games....

Let's go with Kobe Bryant (no agenda, all random)

http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showthread.php?t=458480

As you can see my studies show Kobe has only managed to drop 50+ on a TOP 5 defense a total of 2 times, Bron has also done it twice (on less games mind you)

Not too shabby at all

Also I will be giving this thread 1 star, but please feel free to 5 star mine

You can cry all you want, but the only reasons why Brick has ever won a game in the PO's or even made the PO's is because of Shaq, Pau, and the Refs. Without them, the dude would be a choking career loser.

Gasol was 0-16 in the Playoffs without Kobe as he left LA to be a role player on other Playoff teams.

All these excuses on why Kobe won and shitload of excuses why Lebron loss. Really some alternate reality shit

[34-24 Footwork]

Yeah. And that was embarrassing by the Bobcats, but LeBron got EXTREMELY lucky with those jumpers that night. Definitely some flying unicorn type of shit.

Lebron scoring 60 is like letting Rondo drop 40 on you :lol

It is what it is...

From 2015

MJ was also quoted as saying he could beat all of the Bobcat players.

So he's beat Gerald Wallace, MKG, Henderson, JRich, and a bunch of others as well as giving them the biz during scrimmages.

Pick a season.

And this is an old, out of shape MJ. Drummond was asked this when MJ was 52 years old. You don't think that a 50 year old would be better? :confusedshrug:

[ImKobe]

kobe was playoff loser after/before - shaq/pau and we talking about peak kobe

Yet Shaq and Gasol were at their best playing next to Kobe :lol

Shaq - 1/2 Finals, role player ring, 0 MVPs despite all the great teams he played on (Orlando, Phoenix, Cavs, Celtics)

Pau - 0 Finals appearances without Kobe, 0-16 in the Playoffs as the man, no role player rings despite joining the Spurs

You see, Kobe's the only constant in all 5 Laker title runs.

[PP34Deuce]

Jordan dropped 63 against the 86' Celtics in a PLAYOFFS game only two years into his NBA career with Orlando Woolridge as the next best Bulls player.

LeBron dropping 61 on the Bobcats is such a low hanging fruit.



LOL Orlando Woolridge was a very solid player in the 80s. He was an efficient SF that scored 18-20PPG. You make it like he was a scrub. He was like a poor mans James Worthy which is still a scoring SF that was pretty athletic.

I liked Woolridge too. He reminded me a little bit of Bernard King however he was a crackhead so there's that.

[andgar923]

do you really believe that?
He played with them in practice, more than likely beat most of them.

You see, Kobe's the only constant in all 5 Laker title runs.

u calling out old shaq for not winnings mvps? u calling out gasol not winning any playoff game before kobe and not winning than he left kobe?

but somehow u are ok that peak kobe didint make playoffs, lost in first round after shaq left, gasol joined. And u ok that kobe didint make anymore playoffs than gasol left?

[And1AllDay]

Did you forget the team defensive rank...Since youre an idiot I'll do it for you

They were ranked 5th in defense that year

Next

[jlip]

I have literally never heard anyone celebrate this performance as some uniquely great performance, especially as it pertains to his all time ranking.

Good point. OP is just a weird hater. He feels threatened that LBJ has passed MJ and is doing weak damage control.

But you're right literally no one brings this game up or cares.

Except...OP

Yes. Yes we did forget just like every other human being on the planet.

Bobcats were asscheeks just like every other team in that dumpster fire conference :oldlol:

Forgot that Roy Hibbert was the man too, though. LeBron deserves credit for laying these juggernauts to rest.

But see you're deflecting, where's the links of him destroying em in 5 on 5. IDC about 1 v 1, Drummond would be so ass at it it would be hilarious.

I'm asking for links that state, like you claimed 'and MJ was giving them buckets during practice' because like I claimed, all I'm finding is links from 2011-2012 when they went 7-75 and were 29th/30th in defense

Do you really want to go down the stats route?

Facts are facts.

Brick without Shaq and Pau never made it out of the first round and got bukkake'd. Either that or he was not even making the Playoffs. Those are facts.
