Every active player in the NBA with a higher career-high in points than Kawhi Leonard

[Spur|n|Austin]

Saw this on Reddit, kind of interesting. Not against Kawhi, but more so interesting to see some of the names, and try to imagine how they actually scored that many points. Manu never broke that 50 pt. barrier... 6th man life.

I think Kawhi will crack the 40 point mark atleast once in his career. I think it will be hard for him to hit 50 but you never know. Keep in mind Scottie Pippen's career high is only 47 points and that's the guy people compare Kawhi to.

[PopTheGOAT]

Kawhi would have several 40+ games this season if this wasn't the Spurs. I like the way he plays within the system, it just sucks when he gets on for not having the individual accolades. , he would've scored 40+ easily on the Heat the other night if he didn't get banged up. Too bad. Idc really what his career high is but I wish he'd have a big game so people would stfu about it already.

[cjw]

How many times did he have high point totals before being shut down with low to mid 20 minutes played? Just like Aldridge getting to 20 points very quickly in recent games but not being needed down stretch.

Would be interesting to see how many of those high point games above were in blowouts where guys continued playing, or where other players were out.

Manu never broke that 50 pt. barrier... 6th man life.

Yeah but that was a very, very loud 48 points.... I still go back and watch the highlights of Manu ting on the Suns

[peacemaker885]

Its the ring that counts.

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

This season has been an anomaly - too many blowouts, even in losses, thus Pop throwing the 3rd unit there for long periods of time.

Next season I think Kawhi will have at least 5 40+ point games.

OP f'd something up on the le, tbh.

[100%duncan]

Non-issue

[Obstructed_View]

Consistency.

[TheGreatYacht]

[Mal]

When Kiwi scores around 30 pts the game is probably over, so no need to run personal stats just for it.

[z0sa]

System player.

no.

[TheDoctor]

Difficult when you spend lots of 4th quarters sitting because blowouts.

[Dingle Barry]

I had no idea Metta World Peace was back in the league.
