Alright, folks, gather ’round! Today, I’m diving into something I’ve been messing with – figuring out who’s been dropping 50-point games like they’re hot potatoes, and who’s done it the most times in a row. It’s a bit of a rabbit hole, but a fun one!
First, I started by just, you know, Googling around. I mean, where else do you start these days? I typed in stuff like “most 50 point games NBA” and “consecutive 50 point games.” Just throwing stuff at the wall to see what stuck.
The Initial Digging
I quickly realized I needed a better way to keep track of all this. So, I fired up a simple spreadsheet. Nothing fancy, just something to jot down names and numbers. I started listing players who popped up a lot in my searches – you know, the usual suspects like Wilt Chamberlain, Michael Jordan, and Kobe Bryant.
- Column 1: Player Name (Duh!)
- Column 2: Total 50-point games.
- Column 3: Most consecutive 50-point games.
- Column 4: Just random notes, ’cause why not?
Getting My Hands Dirty
Then came the real work. I started digging through individual player stats. I mean, really digging. Going season by season, game by game. It was like being a detective, but instead of clues, I was looking for point totals. Let me tell you, it’s a lot of scrolling! But I found many intersting things.
The “aha!” moment came when I started focusing on the “consecutive” part. It’s one thing to have a bunch of 50-point games scattered throughout your career, it’s another to do it back-to-back-to-back. That’s where things get really interesting.
The Results (So Far!)
After all that digging, it became very clear, Wilt chamberlain is so dominant. I mean that guy,Wilt Chamberlain. That’s who I ended up focusing on. The man was a scoring machine! I knew he was good, but I didn’t realize how good until I started looking at the numbers.
So, that’s where I’m at! It’s a work in progress, for sure. But it’s been a blast so far. It’s amazing what you can find when you just start digging into the data, even if it’s just for fun. I mean, who knew counting points could be so entertaining?
