What other players could do this? [without trying to do it...]

[Im Still Ballin]

Wilt Chamberlain? Charles Barkley? McHale might've actually done it in 1985 when he did 54 points and 42 points back-to-back. Had about a million tip-ins, post-up scores, and transition buckets.


Giannis Antetokounmpo had 32 paint points on Saturday vs the Mavericks. He has 30+ paint points tonight vs the Wizards. Giannis is the 1st player with 30+ paint points in consecutive games since Shaquille O'Neal in March 2002.

Lebron could do it he just chooses not to

[iamgine]

Are we implying Giannis wasn't trying to attack the paint?

Are we implying Giannis wasn't trying to attack the paint?

He was playing his natural game. He wasn't trying to specifically score at least 30+ points in the paint. He just happened to.

[Real Men Wear Green]

The emphasis on the player "not trying" limits the list to no one because just about every major scorer other than Giannis gets a lot of points off of jumpers especially threes. But Zion Williamson could do it if he took a hyper-aggressive approach to scoring.

[Charlie Sheen]

He wouldn't be at the top of the list but just to give a different answer... Tony Parker.

[Full Court]

AD could.
