MSNBC has an interesting feature on NBA players who have scored over 50:

Proud to see the Spurs proudly represented on the list.

If you've got the patience to click thru the entire list of 100, try to guess how many Spurs you'll find. I missed one.

I'm honestly surprised MJ scored 50 thirty times, though I should have expected it.

Also, didn't Antawn Jamison have both of his 50 point nights back to back?

I'm not sure about Jamison, but I do know that Bernard King got 2 of his 50 point nights on a back-to-back - during a swing through the Texas triangle, no less. He got them against both Dallas and San Antonio on consecutive outings, back in the early 80's.

I know it was back to back games, and I think it was back to back nights. Kobe had 50+ in one of the games to. Pretty fun to see two guys drop 50 in one game.

[ShoogarBear]

I missed Terry Cummings.

That gives you something in common with that year's All-Star game.

[BruceBowenFan]

wow alonzo had a 50 point game, I did not know that.

[ClingingMars]

only 4 times for Bird? what the hell?

also gotta love seeing Bob McAdoo on that list. Gonna go see his nephew play bball for my ol' HS on Monday.

i know robinson has that 50 pointer vs. the wolves, and the 71 point game, what and who did he play for the other 50 point games...shame no real video exists other than a guy with a camcorder under the rim exists for that 71 point game.

[manufor3]

100+ for Wilt? wow

[MrChug]

Yah, I vividly remember how Kobe insinuated that Jamison's 51 points was a fluke, then they played the Lakers and he dropped 51 more in a win over that puss.

[exstatic]

100+ for Wilt? wow

He averaged 50 ppg one year (61-62), so, it's not that big of a surprise.

[MrChug]

All I can say is WILLIE M-F'N BURTON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

...and I'm really surprised David Thompson only did it once.

[Avitus1]

Pretty cool...

[FromWayDowntown]

Nicely played -- particularly since TC's 52 came immediately after he was denied a place on that year's All-Star team.

[Kindergarten Cop]

I got 4 out of 5. I missed Terry Cummings.

Are you only counting them as recording their 50+ point games "as a Spur" - because there are more than 5 players on that list that scored 50+ that played for the Spurs?

[Spur-Addict]

Yah, I vividly remember how Kobe insinuated that Jamison's 51 points was a fluke, then they played the Lakers and he dropped 51 more in a win over that puss.

Nothing unexpexted here, Kobe is a known hater and bitch.

[Kori Ellis]

I know it was back to back games, and I think it was back to back nights. Kobe had 50+ in one of the games to. Pretty fun to see two guys drop 50 in one game.

It was two games in a row, but it wasn't back to back nights. It was Dec 4 and Dec 6 2000. And yeah, he and Kobe both had 51 in the second game - Warriors won in OT.

[Kindergarten Cop]

No Magic Johnson?

Magic's career high was 46 back in December of '86 against Sacramento.

[cherylsteele]

I got 4 out of 5. I missed Terry Cummings.
I went to that game vs Charlotte Hornets

TC was just a monster that night.

[Lakers_55]

I was surprised Reggie Miller only reached 50 once.

[MrChug]

Magic's career high was 46 back in December of '86 against Sacramento.

It's hard to expect many even great TRUE point guards to look to score 50+.

But Tiny Archibald did something I don't ever think will be repeated. Lead the NBA in scoring and assists the same season. Damn.

I think Robinson scored 52 points on Mourning and the Hornets to set his career high. He later shattered that with his 71 point game

Yup, and this was when the whole league was on Mourning's jock when he was yelling and kissing his biceps and snarling at every little play. I don't know if it was his rookie year or shortly after, but Robinson put him in his place, it was cool.

[timaios]

He averaged 50 ppg one year (61-62), so, it's not that big of a surprise.

Wilt Chamberlain

1962-63 : 44,8 ppg 24,3 rpg
1961-62 : 50,4 ppg 25,7 rpg (80 games 1597 FG 835 FT 4029 pts)
1960-61 : 38,4 ppg 27,2 rpg
1959-60 : 37,6 ppg 27.0 rpg

Ridiculous !!!!!!!!

He also led the league in assists one year when he got tired of people calling him selfish. :lol

1967-68 Wilt Chamberlain 8,6 ast

[MrChug]

there are six spurs on that list sir

But the question is: Did they do it WHEN they were Spurs? Like were Vernon Maxwell and Dale Ellis Spurs then? Willie Burton was with the Heat I think.

Man, there are some serious gunners on that list and some that come to mind that never made it. Just shows you how hard it is to get fifty once, much less more than once.

Bernard King got 2 of his 50 point nights on a back-to-back -

yep I was living in NY State and was a Nets/Knicks fan in those days (we got to see them both on cable from NYC). I watched both of those games. Bernard was an incredibly great player that no one remembers, because his superstar-ness was cut short by a really bad torn ACL.

From Wikipedia:




On January 31, 1984, as a Knick, King made history by becoming the first player since 1964 to score at least 50 points in consecutive games: scoring 50 points on 20 for 23 shooting with 10 free throws in a 117-113 Knicks victory over the San Antonio Spurs on January 30, and following it up with another 50 point performance in another road victory - this time in a 105-98 win over the Dallas Mavericks - on 20 for 28 shooting and 10 free throws. The next season, on Christmas day, 1984, King lit up the New Jersey Nets for 60 points, becoming just the tenth player in NBA history to score 60 or more points in a single game.

At the peak of his career, however, King suffered a devastating knee injury - a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, while planting his leg before jumping, against the then-Kansas City Kings in Kansas City, Missouri on March 23, 1985. It required major reconstruction, causing King to miss all of the 1985-86 season and denying him his once explosiveness to the basket. Despite averaging 22.7 points per game during his first six games back, it was clear that King's explosiveness was diminished, and this prompted the New York Knicks to release him at the end of the 1987 season. However, King would have a very successful comeback with the Washington Bullets, improving his scoring average each year with the squad and returning to the All-Star Game one last time in 1991, his final full season in the NBA. After a year-and-a-half hiatus and a brief 32-game stint with the New Jersey Nets at the end of the '93 season, knee problems forced Bernard King into retirement. King retired with 19,665 points in 874 games, for an average of 22.5 points per game during his career. At the time of his retirement, King ranked 16th on the all-time NBA scoring list. He is, as of February 2007, ranked 22nd.
