    Celtics fans focusing on his FGAs while ignoring his FTAs is really apex mountain

    It’s honestly wild to me that Dejounte is shooting more since Trae went out as the replacement first option than Trae did as the first option lol

    Like even before Dejounte arrived Trae was never THIS aggressive

    Almost like he wants to prove that he’s “the guy” and they don’t get along well

  3. ColdPressedSteak

    Team needed offense to keep up with Boston, every bit of his makes. And he absolutely delivered in OT

    Anyone getting too hung up on the efficiency just watches basketball on paper

  4. Taking 44 shots and only getting 44 points is wild

  5. Original_Trick_8552

    he played ot the same way I do in 2k

  6. waffle-spouse

    Damn, Kobe really was an overrated ball hog. The old heads told me he actually was on the level of LeBron lmao.

  7. Programmerofson

    Someone let Westbrook shoot 44 times in ONE game!!?

  8. DocWhirlyBird

    Probably gotta specify 3PT era because Wilt would have the top 50 spots on the list

  9. Jonjon428

    Three absolute legends. And I guess Michael Jordan as well /s

  10. I’m curious how many points some NBA superstars could score in their primes if they attempted ~50 shots.

    Prime Harden, LeBron, KD, Curry, Lillard, etc.

    Kobe

    50 FGA for 60 points

    47 FGA for 41 points (lol)

    46 FGA for 81 points

    45 FGA for 58 points

    44 FGA for 53 points

    44 FGA for 48 points

    41 FGA for 34 points (lol)

    41 FGA for 44 points

    41 FGA for 50 points

    40 FGA for 45 points

    He shot 45.4% on average over his 10 40+ FGA games. A surprising number of these games he didn’t even get to 10 FTA. He had 1 FTA during the 34 point / 41 FGA game.

  12. So Luka scored 73 on 33 shots. How much does he score if he takes 44?

  13. turbowagnn

    Tatum gonna take this personally and go for 51

  14. PsychoWarper

    MJs game (1993 vs Magic):

    47 minutes

    64 points

    27-49 FGs (.551 fg%)

    9-11 FTs

    6 rebounds

    1 assist

    5 steals

    0 blocks

    2 turnovers

    Bulls lost by 4

  15. GooseMay0

    Whats crazy is Murray took more shots than Booker did when he dropped 70 on the Celtics.

  16. redditnathaniel

    Criminal you didn’t share the field goals made/FG%. Murray 18/44 FG. 40.9FG%

  17. Jordan also took 45 shots in a playoff games against Cleveland, ending up with 55 points.
    People always reference Wilt’s 50ppg season but fail to mention that he also averaged 40 shots per game.
