[huskers1217]

my God...are people bitching about how he actually wanted to play?

Now trying to do something to honor a close friend who was murdered is a bad thing lmfaoooo

I'm not buying that as the original intent. He dedicated it to him afterwards. Regardless, Russ has always been a stat whore.

So he should have come out and made it known (while still grieving btw) that he is going to try and drop 20-20-20 to honor his friend?

I forgot all those other times Russ dropped 20-20-20......

If you can't see the reason why he went out of his way to do what he did then this is pointless conversation

Not buying it, sorry. It's a convenient thing to dedicate to his fallen friend, but I don't believe he chased that milestone for that sole purpose.

This is much more impressive than Kobe's 81.

I agree with you re: him doing it for his friend. That's why I haven't bashed him for staying in with the game decided to get his stats. Honestly, only having 2 turnovers is probably the most impressive part, imo. That and the rebounds. 20 rebounds for a guard is crazy.

But I get @shopson67 point. I'm sure that he's probably not alone in finding it a bit suspect that a guy who is kind of known for being a stat whore, chooses stats as a way to honor his friend.

Why is adding up to 60 important? I assume it has something to do with Nipsey Hussle, but I'm not into rap.

I don't know. It was a crazy stat line and the 20 rebounds for a guard is really impressive.

But 81 points in an NBA game is pretty crazy too. When Wilt got his 100 points, it was at a time where he was just physically bigger and stronger than literally every one else in the league and all of the points were basically right at the rim.

Kobe was a "regular size player" (by NBA standards) and scored in variety of ways. Most of his points were from outside the paint.

Overall, probably pretty close to equal, imo.

Shooting 8-23 to get 20 pts? Nah.

Wilt put up 22 pts, 25 reb, 21 assists, more impressive.

Who do you think padded their stats more toward the end?

Trojan fan is right about Wilt, though, he was bigger than anybody else.

Maybe exactly equal?

In the history of the NBA, a player has gone over 80 points exactly twice.

And there have been 2 20-20-20 games.

Sounds pretty close

Yep the adding up to at least 60 was all about Nipsey

Kobe had 81, in 41:52 minutes and took 46 shot attempts and 20 FTs.

Klay had 60, in 29:03 minutes and took 33 shots and 11 FTs.

KLAY THE GOAT.

What do you think is easier, big men to get assists or small guys to get rebounds?

 

[msgkings322]

I barely watch players only games because I hate the commentary that much

Mute button?

Wilt did it against guys that were 6-7 inches smaller than him. The assists no doubt a great feat but the rebounds and points were a piece of cake.

For a guard 20 assists and 20 rebounds in the same game is just stupid.
