The Greatests of All Time! (in this league)

[ohhaithur]

I thought of this article yesterday when I wanted to see a league record book...so I made my own . Here are the greatest performances in league history and some historical notes to go along with them. It took a longgg time to research but I hope you enjoy.

Points: 57, Grant Hill

The most coveted record goes to Grant who put up 57/8/5 against the Kings earlier this year. How'd he pull off this feat? 20 for 22 from the line certainly helped. And a workmanlike 17 for 31 from the floor put him over the top. Scoring almost half of his team's 115 points, Hill led the squad to an 8 point victory, which means I'm sure the squad will forgive his 7 turnovers.

Three guys have scored 56 points in a game (Chris Webber, Allen Iverson and Shaquille O'Neal), but Hill's 57 takes the cake. Although Webber's best game might have been a 53/17/6 effort. Interestingly enough all three are Eastern teams.

Three squads, Detroit, Indiana and the Clippers have never even had a 40 point scorer.


Field Goals Attempted: 41, Zachary Randolph

But he only made 21


Field Goals: 26, Allen Iverson


Free Throws Attempted: 31, Shaquille O'Neal

But he only made 5 (Just kidding).

Free Throws: 23, Chris Webber

As part of the magical effort I described before. Could this performance be the GOAT individual player game? It came against Shaq's Wizards too.

Three-Pointers Attempted: 18, Rashard Lewis i.cdn.turner.com/si/.e1d/img/3.0/sect/basketball/nba/logos/Eastern Conference Powerhouse Hornets.jpg[/img]

How'd he do?

Three-Pointers: 9, Rashard Lewis i.cdn.turner.com/si/.e1d/img/3.0/sect/basketball/nba/logos/Eastern Conference Powerhouse Hornets.jpg[/img]

p good.

Lewis' real life team has never had a player hit five in a game yet. They should call him.

Steals: 9, Allen Iverson and Antwan Jamison i.cdn.turner.com/si/.e1d/img/3.0/sect/basketball/nba/logos/hawks.jpg[/img]

Neither are surprising. I was kind of surprised we've never had a 10 steal game but some team playing the Warriors will get there soon.

Assists: 21, Steve Francis

The only 20-assist game in league history

Rebounds: 30, Shaquille O'Neal

Mutumbo's 28 is the only game that has come even close to Shaq's monster effort.


Blocks: 11, Jermaine O'Neal and Alonzo Mourning

SWAT team up in this bitch. How good has Zo been? besides a 29 point/14 rebound/11 block tripdoub against the Nets he's also had 5 nine or ten block games. If you were to list the top 10 top block games only Ryan Humphrey would be on the list outside of these two.

Neither Detroit nor New York has ever even had a five-block player. Zo AVERAGES More than either team has EVER gotten. Dear lawd.


Turnovers: 13, DaJuan Wagner

Gross. Shaq had 12 once and a bunch of guys have had 10.

Team Points: 144

Denver is the only team never to score 120. Boston averages almost 114 a game.

Team Points Allowed: 48

Wow.

Also, every team has scored more than 75 against the Knicks.

Team Rebounds: 81

This is the most dominating record there is. No team has ever come within 10 of this one.

Team Assists: 43

This is the least dominating record. Every team is within 10. A bunch of teams are within three.

Team Steals: 23

Jailblazers? STEAL!? NEVER

Team Turnovers: 34

Team Three-Pointers: 15 i.cdn.turner.com/si/.e1d/img/3.0/sect/basketball/nba/logos/Eastern Conference Powerhouse Hornets.jpg[/img]


I'mma ask Poe to make a thread for this and have you all update when you break a record. I think it's cool to have around.

[poetic]

lol, fun stuff Ohh. That thread idea sounds good. I enjoy little records like this.

Jesus, 81 rebounds?!

Rashard's 18 attempts and 9 makes were different games.

The game he made 9 he only attempted 9.

Did he go 8 for 18 that game then? I tried to track down every one but I though I remembered that one pretty distinctly.

[ianboyd]

should also add team fg% and such

[rv12]

My vote should be a 4, not a 3. I'm sorry.

I have no idea how many he made, he's had a lot of games where he takes 13+ threes so i don't even remember seeing the 18 attempt game. He's shot pretty poorly in some of those where he has taken a lot. I distinctly remember his 9 for 9 from three game though.

[rv12]

Keep in mind that this is really 3-3 at this point.

It is possible he did it twice then

And ian, that would have required going through everyyyy boxscore.

[bankz]

some of you people who vote 3 really should try to do an article and see how much time and hard work it takes to get it done.

Its beyond stupid that this article is getting 3's. Hell is was horrible my article the other day got 8 votes at 3

If you are going to low ball someone atleast explain why.

You can see he put time to research this shit. Give the man some fucking credit and respect.

why? they're fun to read. helps someone out if they want to put in time. they're fine. people just need to stop being such sticklers about shit. look at some other leagues, if people just show they put time in on it, people vote unanimously "5" every single time. We're just too greedy about keeping people from getting max points over here.

[poetic]

Yeah, most people get 5s in those other leagues and those guys are more competitive overall than this league is.

TMBers.........
