Guys were slacking before the middle of the last decade. Wonder why

[Kobr]

This isn't a Kobe thread, so please don't make it all about how he makes up over half of this list.

[CelticBaller]

we need more 60 points game

[Cold soul]

we need more 60 points game

Agreed.

[shaq2000]

we need more 60 points game

It'd be cool if Durant drops 60 too. Been a while since we had two 60 point games in the same season.

[TonyD]

Excluding Iverson, they are all above 50% which is very impressive and Melo at 65%

[DMV2]

Five 60+ point games in a span of 5 years is quite impressive, especially in the modern era (1981-present).

[ClutchOver9000]

Melo dropped 62 on 65% shooting

[Ancient Legend]

KD has a pretty good chance of scoring 60 without Westbrook.

It'd be cool if Durant drops 60 too.

The way he's been playing, probably inevitable.

[Magic 32]

This is the kind of excitement a 60+ game can provide.

Better than +60 FG% crap.
