Corey Brewer had a 50 pt game? That list is neat but Kawhi is still the only player I'd have unprotected sex with
Easily one of my favorite Manu games. That dunk down the middle of the lane on 3 or 4 dudes was awesome.

Kevin Garnett never scored 50 pts in his NBA career.![]()
Dude the pics in your sig are hypnotizing.
Now filter that list for the ones who are half the defensive stopper that Kawhi is.
What's the rule for dealing with a volume scorer? Anyone? Beuller? Force him to play both ends of the court!!!
Kawhi never hides on defense. He's busting his ass every play, shutting down the other team's best. Most of those guys would be half the scorers they are, if they even attempted to put out that kind of effort on the other end. Kawhi gives the team what it needs, and his defense is worth points just as surely as a made bucket. That's not being a homer, it's just basketball fact.
Shame they don't have a good stat for that.

GSH you weren't a got for once. So proud of you.![]()
lol the rest of the Spurs
This is because he only shot in the first 3 quarters.
N/M.
At least have the most players on one team with more points than Kawhi (9).
Two most interesting take aways for me from the list.
1. Igoudala's high is only 34? That guy used to be the man in Philly, people were comparing him to Lebron.
2. How the did Nick Young score 43? That makes no sense.
Never seen people more butt-hurt from a damned list.
It's amazing how defensive some people getNo one is implying those guys are better players than Kawhi. It's just an interesting list that's mostly cool because it highlights some random players who you'd never expect to score 35+.
, there's even a disclaimer in the reddit post (along with OP's disclaimer): *Note: This isn't meant to be a dig at Kawhi. I'm a big Kawhi fan, but I just thought some of the players' career-highs here were interesting.
I confess. I saw the list and went blind. Sort of like those page-long posts with no punctuation or paragraph breaks. I go into immediate mental-summary mode. I didn't see the disclaimer, and assumed it was some comment on the fact that Kawhi's best is "only" 32 points.
I stand by the fact that not many people have scored more than that while playing high-level defense on the other end. Kobe was capable of being a pretty damned good defender, but it took a toll on him on the offensive end. Mostly, when guys have huge nights, it's in a game that doesn't feature much defense. And Kawhi never takes a night off from defense, no matter who they Spurs are playing.
id trade for several of these people in their prime over KL now.
some funny names... drew gooden and evan turner..... and... MATT BARNES
Hard to believe that Curry, Durant, Westbrook, Duncan, Dirk, Harden, CP3, Garnett, or Pierce...
...never scored as much as Tony Parker.
"System player doing system things."
Yeah, they pass the ing ball on occasion.
Seriously!
Only Lebron, Deron Williams, Kobe, Carmelo, Anthony Davis, and Cousins actively with more.
Do you silly mfs not watch spurs games and understand that when we are up 20+ popovich sits the starters? We don't leave our starters out there to pad their stats in the 4th quarter of meaningless games.
Can we stop posting stats that don't mean ?
No one really gives a .
Patty mills towels 32timespergame.
See no sense.![]()
Kawhi isn't even as good as Richard Jefferson. Time to trade I think.
