Afternoon all... Was just having a discussion at work and this question came up. Who is the most obscure player or unexpected player to score 50 points in a single game. NBA or NBL...
Tony Delk anyone?
nah - cat isn't obscure - he is just mega talent

Dana Barros and Willie Burton sprang to mind almost instantly (didn`t Acie Earl have a 50 (or close to) once???)...

Terry Cummings isn't a surprise, he scored nearly 20,000 career points, averaging over 20PPG in 7 seasons.

Vernon Maxwell - Houston Rockets
59pts vs Phoenix in Game 3 of Western Conference Finals or Semi-Finals in 1993-94
I think it was 15 or 16 three's.
Rockets came back from losing first 2 at home to win in 7 and then go on to beat New York for the title.

Tom Chambers and Terry Cummings are not obscure by any stretch of the imagination... Two of the upper-echelon PFs of the mid to late-80's... And Chambers has one of the greatest dunks of all time on his resume - the teabagging of Mark Jackson...
Journo,
That never happened . . .
Mad Max's career high is 51pts, in a regular season game vs Cleveland.
The record for most 3's in a game is 12 by Kobe. So, your 15 or 16 3's by Vernon Maxwell never happened either.
However, Houston did overcome a 0-2 deficit to beat them in 7 games.
PS My vote would go to Willie Burton
PPS Tom Chambers is the man

wilt chamberlain averaged 50 one season.
Fezlington, Terry Cumming was a 20 plus scorer his first 8 season in the NBA and played 19 season with an average over 16ppg. Son they are looking for obscure players, not player you don´t know.

Robinsons 71 to claim the scoring title was just a way of showing what damage he really could do when not being so unselfish his whole career the rest of the team just pumped the ball into him all night.
