Only three players in NBA history have hit the 55 and 10 mark

[Dex]

1. Oscar Robertson ('64-'65) - 56/12

2. Michael Jordan ('92-'93) - 57/10

3. Tony Parker ('08-'09) - 55/10 :smokin

I'm pretty sure we might be onto something here.

Not that I'm not thrilled he had a good night, and he's up there with Jordan and Robertson, but...Does it matter that it took 2 OT to get that?

Spurs' Tony Parker: Zero to 55 in a flash (http://www.startribune.com/sports/wolves/33929249.html?elr=KArksD:aDyaEP:kD:aUnOiP3UiD3aPc: _Yyc:aUU)

Tony Parker, in a double-overtime victory for the Spurs, had the best individual scoring performance ever against a Wolves team.

By JERRY ZGODA, Star Tribune

If all the world is indeed a stage -- and Target Center's court fabulously became one Wednesday night -- the arena's public-address announcer would have preceded San Antonio's 129-125 double-overtime victory over the Timberwolves with these hushed words borrowed from the theatre:

Playing the part of Manu Ginobili tonight is Tony Parker.

And then some.

Parker shattered his career high by scoring 55 points -- the most ever against a Timberwolves team -- on a night when the Wolves fell to 1-3 but for the first time this season displayed the team they could become.

Last season, Ginobili single-handedly won a pair of games at Target Center by scoring 31 points in November and 44 in February. The Wolves might have figured they got a break when the Spurs arrived Wednesday with an 0-3 record for the first time since the team's first American Basketball Association season in San Antonio 35 years ago and without Ginobili, out until December while he heals from ankle surgery.

Sorry.

Parker took every defender -- Corey Brewer and Sebastian Telfair, to name two -- the Wolves threw at him and dissected the Wolves both with an unusual number of made jump shots and with his expected dashes to the rim. He forced the second overtime with a jump shot at the buzzer and then put the Spurs ahead to stay by scoring the opening four points of that second overtime.

"It was just one of those games when everything you do -- teardrops, jump shots -- works," Parker said. "I've scored 40 in Europe and 45 or 46 in high school, but never 50."

Parker joined Oscar Robertson, Michael Jordan and LeBron James as the only NBA players to have at least 50 points and 10 assists in a game.

The road to 55

Parker's quarter-by-quarter scoring:

First 11 5-9 0-0

Second 13 4-6 4-4

Third 8 4-5 0-0

Fourth 10 4-7 2-2

First OT 4 2-4 0-0

Second OT 9 3-5 3-4

It shouldn't. All that matters is that parker had an amazing night :downspin:

[mathbzh]

That season Robertson Averaged 45 mpg, I don't have a boxscore but you can reasonably think that the "Big O" played almost as much as TP.
Jordan needed only 42 minutes (you can find his stats on basketreferrence)... but he is Jordan

[bdictjames]

Tony!

[Dex]

Lebron James ain't got nothin' on the Wee Frenchman. :dizzy

Don't sweat it, hf.

[honestfool84]

Lebron James ain't got nothin' on the Wee Frenchman. :dizzy


haha.
yeah, i know that now.

[honestfool84]

:lol thanks.

[mrspurs]

Not bad at all. Tony in alot of ways reminds me of AI. Only Tony has been alot luckier then AI in the NBA. I think its alot when a small guy can put up those kind of numbers. After all its a Big Mans Game.

[Doctor J]

And Parker became one of only two players in history to record at least 55 points, 5 rebounds and 10 assists in a game.

The other one is of course the Big O.

M.J. had only 2 rebounds in the 1993 season game.


Congratulations! :toast

Easily one of the most impressive offensive displays of our time. I wish I could've been at the game, but at least I got to see it all the way throiugh.

[honestfool84]

i just got home from church about two minutes before overtime.
i sure am glad i stopped to watch the game.

[Doctor J]

You're absolutely right.

The Big O was 27. Parker is 26. :lol

[honestfool84]

im glad they weren't the same age...
