This is the longest streak we’ve ever seen. How long do you think it’ll keep going, who will keep it going, and what new player do you think will add their names to the list?
2021-2022 is crazy to me
Poole def getting a random Wed night 61 this season
Eh I doubt 60 but maybe 50
Yeah but the better question is on how many fga will he get 61
21/42 shooting hitting 10/15 threes with 9/11 free throws
DeRozan and/or LaVine
I think Giannis will have a high shooting game and make 60+ points
Nah that 60 from Kobe wasn’t 8 seasons ago. Im in denial on that one
60’s becoming the new 50, it seems. I don’t know how I feel about it…on one hand, it’s awesome to many talented players are playing but at the same time, it really does feel like stats are crazily inflated and rules have leaned too much in the offense’s favor.
Anthony Edwards set his career high at 49 points last season. He could go off and hit 60+ this season, given the right circumstances.
Joel Embiid scored 59, 53, and 52 in a four month stretch last season. He could score 60+, especially if Harden never plays for 76ers again, like some are speculating.
Giannis scored 55 and 54 in a month span last season. He could hit 60+, with Lillard racking up like 15 assists.
Kevin Durant scored a career high 55 last season. He could hit 60+ in a game that Booker and Beal are sitting out.
Anthony Davis had 55 last season. He could hit 60+.
Lauri Markkanen went off for 49, 43, 40, and 38 in a two month span last season, with high fga and fta. He could hit 60+ in an OT (or longer) game.
I completely forgot about that Kemba 60.
As a kid, I was in disbelief when I learned about Wilt Chamberlain’s high scoring games. And now the league is back to that level of performance fairly often and by a variety of different players.
LeBron is going for 62 tonight !!!
Mate…
There’s so many players that honestly wouldn’t surprise me if I see them having 60 on a given night. Nearly one in every team.
Trae Young, Tatum, Giannis, Embiid, Mitchell, Steph, Dame, Giannis, Booker, KD, Luka, Kyrie, Ja Morant could all get there.
Anyways, as a surprising pick I’d go to Jalen Green or Jalen Brunson.
With a real point guard, Jalen won’t have the green-light he used to, but his efficiency’s definitely gonna go up. I’m sure he’ll crack 60 at some point, but it’ll be once he’s a little older. I could see 50 this year though!
Can’t wait to see this fact on ESPN tonight
Dame scored 73
If one of Derozen/Lavine gets traded and you let the other one cook by himself I think one of them might do it. They both already have multiple over 50 point performances.
Kemba 60 damn
