Cool thanks.. How many times did they do it, and are those the only guys?

Cool thanks.. How many times, and is that it?

I believe so, and one time for each

If OKC had made the playoffs, Westbrook would have averaged 40 against the Warriors.

Looks like they only did it once each, to MJ's 6 times.. and MJ was the last guy to do it in 1993 Finals.

MJ did get 37.3 PPG in 1997 1st round vs. Bullets 13th ranked defense... 36.0 PPG in 1996 ECF vs. the Knicks' 4th ranked defense... and 35.8 PPG in 1992 Finals vs. Portland's 3rd ranked defense.

MJ is the undisputed GOAT phorreal

durant would have done it if he played in the 80s or early 90s. He would have certainly did it in finals against western conference teams.

[Eric Cartman]

Ridiculous how much better Jordan is than any other player of all time

[pauk]

Meh, all scorers today would also have done that if they played with no real team defense, no zone / illegal defense... and they chucked 30-40 FGA like Jordan did...
