The game of Basketball has been my passion since I was 5 years old. I grew up as a kid watching my dad's recorded VHS tapes of playoff games through the 70s and 80s, and collected all the Basketball cards. Something about the game and what it represents just hooked me from a very young age.
My love for the game only continues to grow as time goes on. I love studying and analyzing the game, with an unbiased perspective. Feel free to subscribe, follow me on social media, and celebrate this amazing game and it's rich history with me!
I post videos every week on NBA history, predictions, hypothetical scenarios and current NBA topics.

People remember the 62 point game against Dallas, but kobe also had a 43 point game that year as well against them. Dallas had no answer for kobe and even the game the lakers lost was close and competitive throughout. I think in a 7 game series...lakers had a good chance beating Dallas that year in the playoffs. The lakers matched up better against Dallas than they did the sun's and they even took Phoenix 7 games.

This might not be one of the greatest, but a performance that always sticks in my mind is Manu Ginobili in game 7 of the 2005 finals. The final score was spurs 81 to Detroit's 74. Only 3 spurs had double digit points, Tim Duncan had 25, Manu was right behind with 23, and Robert Horry scored 15. Manu was 5/5 from the free throw line and hit 2/2 three pointers. He also lead the Spurs in assists that game and was the only starter to get a single steal against the pistons. Again, not one of the greatest performances of all time, but a great performance from a player who people now just remember for being a role player or 6th man

From way back: 1. Bob Cousy (pre-Russell days) scoring 50 points in an elimination first round game in 1952 or 53, a game which went to 4 overtimes, with Cousy twice sending the game to another OT period with near mid court shots at the buzzer 2. Bill Russell holding Wilt Chamberlain (50.4 ppg average) to 22 points in Game 7 of 1962 Eastern Finals while scoring 19 himself, as Boston won by 2 points. Wilt was held to 28 points below his scoring average 3. Elgin Baylor scoring 61 in a Finals Game in 1962 1970's 1. Portland championship clincher in Game 6 of 1977 Finals, with Bill Walton scoring a near quadruple double with 20 pts, 23 rebounds, 7 assists and 8 blocks. Julius Erving had 40 for Philadelphia, his best ever Finals Game, with several dunks versus Walton. 2. Pete Maravich 68 points in a regular season game vs Knicks in 1977 3. George Gervin wins 1977-78 scoring title with 63 points, including 53 in first half. His 33 points scored in 2nd quarter was a record which lasted until 2016 when Klay Thonpron scored 37. But Gervin did it without benefit of three-point line! 1980s and 90s 1. 1980 Finals Game 6: everyone talks of Magic and his 42 points but what about Jamaal Wilkes with his 37 points and 10 rebounds? 2. Also in Game 5 of that series, Kareem badly sprained his ankle but scored 40 points including winning three-point play with a dunk while being fouled by Dr. J with 30 seconds left. All forgotten. 3. 1984 Game 5 Pistons vs Knicks 1st round: Isaiah Thomas scores 16 points in 90 seconds (!) to send deciding Game to OT, but Bernard King scores 50 to lead Knicks to victory 4. Charles Barkley 44 points and 24 rebounds in Game 7 of 1993 Western Final, or his 56 points in 1994 first round game vs GS Warriors with rookie Chris Webber 5. David Robinson's 71 to clinch 1993-94 scoring title

Michael Beasley's insane 26 game stretch with the houston rockets in 2016 was the greatest 6th man ive ever seen, that is unless it was Josh Smith's stint in the same place the year before

Kevin McHale's 56 Points. It is by far the best game of his career and he was by far the best player for the Celtics as he shoot 22/28 from the field and 12/13 from the free throw line. Compared to his team which shot 29/68 from the field. He also had 10 ORB which is another career high for him. And before that game he only had 8 30+ games with a career high of 33 and after that he only had one other 40+ game (42) which happened the following game after his 56 points.

Agree, gang of Rondo games could be talked about. The 44 in the return to boston, the two games against them in the playoffs with the bulls before he got injured, his 25 assist game where Boogie didnt even know and cost him a couple more, any number of his kings team record setting percormances. Rajon Rondo one of the truly underappreciated greats in basketball history. Living legend. He and Pau Gasol are truly what made those Finals series legendary. No other player in either position would have yielded the same results

So in the same game 2 opposing players made a record still unbroken (and most likely never to be broken) but what is crazier to me is how mundane Jerry West's 30 point triple-double in that same game looks next to those 2, like it is an average game and many more I don't recall right now, many many games, players and even decades go very under the radar and get none of the recognition they deserve, so amazing games like these and the ones in the video there are dozens and dozens, one just has to keep looking and they never stop popping out, sometimes where we don't expect them to be

Curry's 47 Pts-8 Ast-7 Rebs-2 stls perfomance in game 3 of the 2019 NBA finals..On 49 % from the field...52 % from 3 in 42 mins played. His team was riddled with Injury..no Klay, Durant or Cousins.....and it ended in a 14 pt loss....but it was a great performance with all the defensive attention on him

what people dont realize is magic retired while in his prime, people actin like magic is past his prime when he caught that hiv virus but he didnt. imagine the accolades, career totals, awards etc that he couldve been won if he didnt get the virus? im not saying that he could break that stockton record but who knows.

The assist record? Unfortunately for Magic, he never led the league in assists again after Stockton became a starter in 1987-88. The former had one season w/ 13+ apg while the latter had five in a row, reaching 14+ apg twice.

2011 Carmelo Anthony vs Celtics. I say that because it was literally 1 v 5. Carmelo put up 42/17/6. All starters shot under 35% except Landry Fields who only attempted 4 shots. Out of the 10 players that played, 7 of them shot LESS than 35% FG and 3 of them shot 25% or less. Knicks lost by 3 smfh.
