Most 50-Point Playoff Games in NBA History

[sportjames23]

All wins except
Jordan - 2
Kobe - 1
Cunningham - 1
Ray Allen - 1

So, MJ with 8 50-point games in the playoffs with only 2 of them coming in losses.

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

[ClipperRevival]

Since 1984, there have been 21 50-point games, 8 were MJ's

GOAT gonna GOAT.

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.

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.)

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.
