So Mo Williams scored 52 points for the Minnesota Timberwolves last night and WHAT? How is that possible? How did a guy with a 13.3 career scoring average go for 50+ in the NBA. Of course, now we’re all asking the important questions like, “is Mo Williams the worst player to achieve the feat?”
The answer is no, not really because wait, Tracy Murray dropped 50 points. There might be 10 people reading this that know who Tracy Murray is.
Anyway, here’s my unofficial ranking (you can find most of the 50-point scorers here).
1. Terrence Ross, 51 points (9/25/14, Clippers)
2. Tracy Murray, 50 points (2/10/98, Warriors)
3. Tony Delk, 53 points (2-2-01, Kings)
4. Willie Burton, 53 points (12-13-94, Heat)
5. Mo Williams, 52 points (1-13-15, Pacers)
6. Corey Brewer, 51 points (4-11-14, Rockets)
Let’s hear it in the comments folks. Who’s the worst?
