I do enjoy random 50 point game scorers. We need an update to this set with guys like Tony Delk and Terrance Ross added!
From the podcasts I’ve listened to, Tony Delk is the poster child for the surprisingly 50 point game, so I’m surprised he didn’t get #1 on that list.
Corey Brewer #1 for me - was known primarily a s defensive player who was always very much a sub-par 3 point shooter, score in transition type. Wasn;t even a big time scorer in college. That particualr 51 point game was at the very end of the season and the T-Wolves rested their top two scorers in Love and Kevin Martin. The other guys playing that night were not known as offensive scorers or weapons either - so somebody had to take the shots. that same season he was a full time starter who averaged 12 points. The stat that gets me though, is that in his 12 year NBA career he only ever scored more than 20 points 8 times! Only onvce over 30 points which was the 51 point spectacle.List makes sense if they used some sort of formula but from the eye test/watching games at that time until now I would have said Willie, Ross, Murray, Delk in that order of surprise - what do you think/remember @skip20 ?
