Brandon Roy went off for 52 against the Suns tonight. As good as Brandon Roy is, I never thought that he would score 50 points in a game. Roy never has seemed like a player who could score that many points because he was too unselfish to score that many points. Turns out I was wrong. The chatter on BlazersEdge is predictably upbeat with posts asking whether Roy is mortal or not.Looking at the list of players who have scored 50 points or more since the 1990 season there aren't a lot of fluke performances in that list. Some of the most fluky-est:
- Tony Delk - 53 points
- Charles Smith - 52 points (although this is tempered by the fact that this was against the 1990 Denver Nuggets who played no defense and played at an extremely pace)
- Mahoumd Abdul-Rauf - 51 points
- Vernon Maxwell - 51 points
- "Uncle" Cliffy Robinson - 50 points
- Dana Baros - 50 points
- Willie Burton - 53 points
