Greatest back-to-back regular season games?

[Magic 32]

Curry's last two games...

48.5 ppg, 7.0 apg, 5.0 rpg, 1.0 spg, 71.0% 3FG%, 66.7 FG%

Can you find better in the modern era?

[JZ600]

Jesus 71%....

lowkey doe: 51.0 ppg, 3.5 apg, 13.5 rpg, 2.5 spg, 1.5 bpg, 67.7 FG%, 33.3 3FG%

If you guessed Jamison, you are correct.

Not better, but it is noteworthy, and not a name most people would think of:

Bernard King:

50/7.5/1 on 69 FG%

1/31/84 - 2/1/84

Curry's 51 point game against Orlando was the most efficient 50 point game of all time. I looked that up the day after and even made a thread about it, here: http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/sho...d.php?t=399338

So, that was already historical.

And then we got the game last night, which very similar with similar efficiency.



So...I doubt you'll find anything better. You might find two back to back games with higher scoring, but the efficiency (TS% is the best measure of that) will pale in comparison. I guarantee it. And I don't even have to look.

Kobe Bryant 2006-07 (Game 66 and 67)

57.5 ppg, 6.5 rpg, 3.0 apg, 3.0 spg, 54.1 FG%

Blazers game (game 1)

Wolves game (game 2)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3lFHij-Sc8

About a minute and 20 seconds into first video, Kobe steals ball, gets fouled, drills the half court shot and completes the four point play but Curry is better....smh
Kobe is another level.

[Marchesk]

If we drop the modern era stipulation, Wilt had:

80.5/26.5/4 on 55 FG% and 86.4 FT% (!)

Not quite as efficient, but does that matter when it's an 80 point average?

For a more efficient 2 games:

66/22/1.5 on 61.7 FG% and 76.2 FT%

[WayOfWade]

Anybody have Kobe's 81 mixed with either the preceding or following game?

[Odinn]

What I've found so far;

Kobe 61-62nd games of 2006-07 season;
57.5 ppg / 6.5 rpg / 3.0 apg / 3.0 spg on .673 ts / 43.2 GmSc

Wade 58-59th games of 2008-09 season;
43.5 ppg / 7.5 rpg / 9.5 apg / 5.5 spg / 2.5 bpg on .637 ts / 40.6 GmSc

LeBron 64-65th games of 2008-09 season;
42.5 ppg / 7.0 rpg / 11.0 apg / 2.5 spg / 3.0 bpg on .632 ts / 40.2 GmSc


And then I tried this for Michael Jordan...

69-70th games of 1989-90 season;
59.0 ppg / 15.0 rpg / 5.0 apg / 4.5 spg / 1.5 bpg on .693 ts / 53.7 GmSc

But Curry is better than Jordan now. Kids

[DMV2]

These numbers are fcking ridiculous.

Currys 66% and 71%

Jordan's 59 pts and 15 rebs

[Odinn]

I don't have exact efficiency numbers but Moses Malone had a great b2b with 53/23 and 45/20 in February 1982. In fact, Moses averaged 38/17 for the entire month. Wonder what would have happened if the internet was around the time.

Also there are b2b games of Bird with 46/11/6, Magic with 33/11/15, Hakeem with 40/16/6/4/4, Shaq with 44/21/3/5 (in the playoffs).

I mean get your sh.ts straight fellas. It's not like that we hadn't seen an all-time great before doing some business.
The way Curry has been doing is unique and deserves admiration. Sure. Noone arguing against that. But let's not go overboard.
