50+ point games since 2000

Author: Over and Back Classic NBA Podcast June 28, 2019 Duration: 1:40:52

In the finale of Over and Back’s 50-point game series, Jason and Rich recap 50+ point games from the year 2000 to the present including a record-setting year in 2019, the emergence of stars like Tracy McGrady, Kobe Bryant, Dirk Nowitzki, LeBron James, James Harden and Steph Curry, the curious case of Shaquille O’Neal’s lack of 50+ point games, Jamal Crawford being the best, Tony Delk’s random 50, players who got all of their 50+ point games in the same season and much more!

Join us as we put a bow on the 50-point series with overarching thoughts on 50-point games, the evolution of the 50-point game from a seemingly everyday occurrence during Wilt’s era to the lean years of the late 70s and early 80s. We talk about the re-emergence and proliferation of 50+ point games over the last handful of years and what we can expect to see in the future.

In this episode, we cover each and every year from 2000 to 2019, the 50+ point games and some fun facts about each. Additionally, we look at some big-picture items including players whose first 50+ point game came after age 30, highest scoring outputs by someone over age 40, 60-point games in history, all-time 50-point leaderboards, franchises with most 50-point games as well as the month, date and day to feature the most 50-point games.
