It looks even more impressive

If you only include games where that player’s team won.

also notable is the goose egg in Roy's turnover column for that game.

As much as I love things like this

Its getting a bit silly. We can narrow down parameters to anything to make roy look amazing. Roy IS amazing, but I don’t think we need constant statistic play to remind us of that.

I'd agree

What happens when you take out the >=1 block requirement?

Things happen for a reason they say, but I say there's a reason things happen.

Look at the R/A of all the other guys on this list. They crush Roy. And how many guys do you think had the 52 points and 1 block, but instead of 5/6 on the rebound/assist they had 12/5 or something like that.

Roy’s 52 point game was good, but it’s not even a top 50 performance of all time. The most impressive thing was the 0 turnovers, but that’s not enough to make up for all the other areas that he got crushed by the others.

(I did find it funny that Kobe could score 50+ on such bad shooting percentages though.)

The interesting thing

is that he was incredibly efficient and got a ton of free throws (and made almost all of them). He does get crushed by the other guys when it comes to the R/A numbers. Mainly MJ, of course. That 69 point, 18 rebound 6 assist performance is otherwordly.

If Artest can say it, so can I. Broy>Kobe.
