Def Rtg: 102.6 is above the admittedly arbitrary cutoff of 100.6 ( I was thinking 100 or less at first, but Pierce was so close and Penny was so close to Pierce after that)
According to wikipedia it would #1 @ 48.6 though (#17 on the list)

Oh OK makes sense
I dont get why Kobe's 45/10 game vs 01 Spurs is such a low gamescore though
What is interesting is that those 2 Shaq performances were back to back

Only 6 FTM and 1 3PM for Kobe in that game. All of these other games have some sort of incredible 3 pt shooting, rebounding or FTs making to go with a high scoring total.

You agree with the list and method of ranking (gamescore)? Seems slightly arbitrary. How does it work?

GameScore is basically the one game equivalent of PER.
(Points x 1.0) + (FGM x 0.4) + (FGA x -0.7) + ((FTA-FTM) x -0.4) + (OREB x 0.7) + (DREB x 0.3) + (STL x 1.0) + (AST x 0.7) + (BLK x 0.7) + (PF x -0.4) + (TO x -1.0)
I chose it to rank the players just because it gave me a quick way to do so. Given the context of the games I'd 2004 Kobe game higher as well as Duncan's game. Kobe for playing against a better D than the other 9 and Duncan for his game being in the Finals. I'd move Dirk's down a bit considering that his team lost.

Also it would probably be better if GameScore didn't count blocks and steals. Getting more blocks and steals against a great defense doesn't mean anything more than getting blocks and steals against a weak defense.

So you see this criteria as pretty solid other than the fact that the gamescore doesn't take competition into account?

It also treats all overtime stats the same as a normal game which overrates them a bit.
