The 3s were nice but that and-1 dunk was absurd.

The NBA has entered 1960s level of individual and team scoring.

The NBA has had a great week. A lot of excitement and an intriguing playoff on the horizon.

It's been that way since the Steph era. Russell Westbrook averaging a triple double was another symptom. No one has averaged a triple double since.... Oscar Robertson in the 60's

Because actual good players learned that teams win championships, not players...
I would say there are probably 15-20 players that could, if they wanted to, average a triple double for the season right now in the NBA, and probably double to triple that that could average over 50 points a game. But that doesn't win championships.
And before anyone says anything, yes Westbrook is an amazing player and athlete, but he is a absofuckinglutely terrible teammate. I can't think of another absolute waste of talent outside of maybe bo Jackson, and that was only because of his injury.

Dude doesn't even approach the line. Wherever he's standing he's like "yeah I can make it from here". And then does. Again and again. Insane.

Jordan was a terrible teammate. Jordan played hero ball all the time. But he played in a weak league, when teams averaged under 90 points/game, and is revered for winning in that environment. Is it really that shocking that everyone wants to be the most iconic player in the sport’s history?

71 points and including 13 3-pointers so is that 110 or 71?

Take away pippen or rodman or grant or a few others and I bet they don't win six and have to work a lot harder for the ones they do win.
Take away Westbrook and I bet Oklahoma wins their title...

It will hopefully come back to the 90s, but truth is players are getting better on the perimeter and the fouls making the game softer on the court, so I’m not sure if it will get better before it goes further down this direction. The next players contract is going to show the future.

That logo shot was dumb. You know after he hit that it was "gonna be one of them nights".

That's just ignorant thinking.

Jokic is averaging a triple double this year, he may be able to do it.

Good grief, definitely entering the Kobe talks now
Edit: Let’s take a moment to reflect, Dane is third now with the most 60+ point games. Kobe is second with six games. And Wilt Chamberlain is first with 32 games. (Not a typo!)
