So looking at these stats made me look at some playoff scoring records and it led me to this.
For those that think Lebron is the GOAT, I give you this... (I love Lebron and all but he isn't the GOAT)
Players who have scored 50 or more points in a playoff game.
It has occurred 34 times in playoff history by 22 different players. Only four players have scored 50 or more points on more than one occasion: Michael Jordan (eight times), Wilt Chamberlain (four times), Allen Iverson (three times) and Jerry West (twice).
Most points, game
63 - Michael Jordan, Chicago at Boston, April 20, 1986 (2 OT) (He actually lost this game)
Most consecutive games, 20 or more points
60 - Michael Jordan, Chicago, June 2, 1989 - May 11, 1993 (60 playoff games in a row over 20!)
Jordan also score between 45 to 49 15 times.
So the guy had 23 playoff games that he scored over 45 points.
For comparison, Lebron has 8 games over 45 and has never had more than 49, which he did twice.
Then there's always the rings. 6 for Jordan, 3 for Lebron and counting.
