Highest points scored against the best defenders in league history?

[QUOTE=WhiteKyrie;14750147]Mike past his prime in 1997 gave prime / peak GP 45 on national television. A reminder that it had nothing to do stop GP in his post game 3 struggles in the 1996 Finals.[/QUOTE]

It's not like GP stopped him one on one anyways. Mike was trapped after game 3 relentlessly

[QUOTE=Xiao Yao You;14749961]Simmons 40 + on 3-7 shooting against Gobert[/QUOTE]

DRose dropped 50 on your boy lol

You need to rewatch that game buddy. He scored most of his points in the paint lol, driving left right and center on Toody. No shame in admitting it, your boy got shat on.

Kareem dropped a 50/13/11 triple double on Bill Walton in 74-75.

Cap dropped a 50-pointer on Wilt and three of them on Cowens in the early 70's.

Bill probably playing on broken feet and pain killers

March 28, 1995. Bulls @ Knicks. Knicks would finish the season with the #1 defensive rating in the league.

Michael Jordan has just returned to the Bulls after his vacation in minor league baseball. It's only his fifth game after returning to the NBA.

The Knicks do not like MJ! They want to send a message, and they have the defense to do so.

Jordan drops 55 on 21 of 37 shooting.

MJ vs. Knicks is a good one. I'd go with the '93 ECF Game 4 where he had 54 on 30 shots (~75%TS) down 1 - 2 in the series.

I think Bosh with the Raptors dropped 40 on Dwight Howard at least once maybe twice.
