Little night of madness across the Atlantic. In an era when the NBA striker has never been so dominant – and when Jean-François Créquin, coach in DM2, points the finger at overly permissive defenses – 18 players sublimated our Sunday evening. Debrief of an evening rich in right hand lay-ups.
Have we ever seen such statistics?
The answer is no. 18 NBA players with at least 30 points on a single regular season night. At one time, it took 18 games to reach this total. There was a time when there weren’t enough great attackers to reach this total. Mass is said, and signed by Kawhi Leonard (34 points), Paul George (42), Desmond Bane (30), Zach LaVine (42), Damian Lillard (41), Jayson Tatum (40), Anthony Davis (39) , Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (38), Immanuel Quickley (38), Kevin Durant (37), Devin Booker (36), Luka Doncic (34), Mikal Bridges (33), Bradley Beal (33), Jalen Williams (32) , Jalen Green (31), Julius Randle (31) and Kyrie Irving (31). Very indigestible list. Heads of intellectuals accustomed to scoring prestige, but also Jalen Williams – future great in this field – with Immanuel Quickley and Mikal Bridges. Normally not the first to cross this bar, but Bridges having left Phoenix, we will find him more and more beyond 30 units. Not the shadow of a “competitor” for him in Brooklyn. Is he happy about it? Not sure.
