Comparison of career 50+ scoring games: Westbrook 5 times, Harden 25 times, Jordan 31 times, what about James?

50 points in a single game, in the eyes of fans, is it considered a high score? This is natural, after all, in today's fast-paced NBA era, few stars score 50+ points multiple times in a season. For superstars, the situation will be slightly different, but generally not too much.

If we compare, who do you think has the most 50+ points in a single game in NBA history? Among active players, which star ranks first in this data? Without further ado, let’s let the data speak directly!

Westbrook 5 times, played 1,254 games

On the court, whether he is a leader with the Thunder or now a substitute for the Kings, Westbrook's courage and competitive spirit of going all out are undoubtedly not bad.

When Westbrook was at his peak, it was not difficult to score 50 points in a single game, but there were not too many times. You must know that Doncic of the Lakers has also scored 50+ points in a single game 7 times.

Embiid played 8 times and 458 games

As far as this data is concerned, Embiid can be described as explosive. After all, Westbrook only completed 5 games in thousands of games. Of course, Embiid's biggest problem is injuries.

For comparison, Antetokounmpo has scored 50+ points in a single game 9 times, and he has played 872 games so far. Durant has scored 50+ points in a single game 9 times in 1,137 games in his career, which shows that his explosive scoring ability is really limited by his physical fitness.

Curry 15 times, played 1040 games

A simple calculation, he took 30 three-point shots, hit 10 goals, scored 30 points, and the shooting rate was only 33.3%. If he switched to two-point shooting, he took the same 30 shots and needed to hit 15 goals, that is, a 50% shooting rate to score 30 points.

Therefore, the scoring efficiency of three-point shots is much higher than that of two-pointers, especially Curry's career three-point shooting percentage has reached more than 40%. This is the horror!

Harden 25 times, played 1166 games

Recently, Beard scored 55 points in the game against the Hornets. It has been a long time coming. If the Clippers need Big Beard's performance in every game, in terms of its current state, we can only describe it as being difficult for others.

Scored 50+ points in a single game 25 times in his career, ranking third in history, tied with Kobe. How many games did Kobe use? The answer is 1346 games. This also means that Harden's explosive scoring ability is no less than that of the Black Mamba.

Jordan played 31 times and played 1072 games.

The god of basketball is stable and explosive in scoring. Although his career high is 69 points in a single game, he has scored at least 50 points in a single game 31 times, ranking second in history. At this point, it can be said that the offense is difficult to stop.

Jordan's game gives the impression that he is firmly in the lead! He can often step forward at critical moments and pay attention to the ultimate use of skills and body in his playing style. Compared to Kobe, Jordan's advantage goes far beyond his big hands.

Who has the most, how many games has James played

Chamberlain has the most! In 1,045 career games, he scored 50+ points in a single game 118 times, leading the way. Of course, Zhang Dashuai's NBA was far less competitive than later, but in terms of statistics, Chamberlain did maintain too many unparalleled records.

As for James, he has played 1,563 games so far, and has scored 50+ points in a single game 14 times. As the "longest river in the NBA", James is not good at high explosions when it comes to scoring, but prefers stability.
