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.

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.

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.
