There are 17 games with 60+ pts since 1985

[Duderonomy]

Everybody talks about 81. But Kobe also had 62 against Dallas (sat out the 4th)In the same season.

Sad that it only counts in that/the dumb-****s' book.

Amazing game from LBJ, not the greatest statline in a single game, modern or not, even stealing rebounds from teammates couldn't get it done Statpadding wasn't enough there.

He didn't "steal" the rebound, a rebound is a rebound. And it IS the greatest statline in a single game and what's more it happened at the Mecca. Probably the most impressive game any player could dream of having. Lebron did that with ease.

[SHAQisGOAT]

To me it counts as a triple double. Saw the last rebound with my own two eyes.

To you, everything Lebron does is jerking-off material so I wouldn't be suprised. Apart from people like you it didn't count, officially it didn't count, so stay mad

Basketball-reference is a known Lebron hate site.

No, a rebound is not a/any rebound, same goes for points and so on. If you score 2 points when the game is already decided is not the same as scoring before, for example. You can grab important rebounds, tough rebounds to grab, so on, and you can also steal rebounds from teammates or your teammates let you having it, like it happens a lot with Lebron, rebounds that could be grabbed by another one of his teammates, "easy" rebounds, with no chance of any opponent to get the ball. Shit like that is basically statpadding and don't matter much in the long run, even if it does appear on box-scores and stans go wild about it.

Stay mad though.

I'm not mad at all. It happened, to me it has happened and it is the greatest stat line of all time.

Officially >>>>>>>>> your (ignorant) opinion

[Sakkreth]

That's petty strange that they took away that rebound, it was clear rebound. You can discuss if he stole it from teammates or something, but that was 100% rebound.

[HoopsFanNumero1]

Just saw the last play again. How does that not count as a rebound?

He didn't have posession of it, travelled and jumped out of bounds.
How is that a rebound.

I just saw that he stepped out of bounds, but he clearly had full possession of it before passing it. What's the point of taking away a rebound after the game is over? Are they gonna start taking points away for bad calls next?

He def. did not have posession of the ball. He was mid-air with no possibility to hold the ball for even one more sec. That's basically a cooler tip-out so to speak

[J Shuttlesworth]

Even if you take away the rebound, it's still the greatest stat-line we've seen
