How difficult is it to score 50+ points in the NBA opener? Looking back at history, only 5 players did it
It can be said that the difficulty is as high as 50 points in the opening game of the new NBA season. From the founding of the NBA to the present 80 years, only 5 players have achieved this goal, of which Jordan has completed this goal twice. 1: Elgin Baylor in the 1959-60 season Elgin Baylor was the first player in NBA history to score more than 50 in the opening game. It was the 59-60 season. In the Lakers' match against the Pistons, Elgin Baylor scored 52 points and 21 rebounds alone. At that time, Elgin Baylor was just a rookie who played for two seasons. Of course, the Lakers regretted losing to the Pistons with one point. Elgin Baylor can be said to be a very tragic player. He led the team to the Finals 8 times, but he never won the championship. 2: Chamberlain 1962-63 season Chamberlain also played against the Pistons for 48 minutes, scored 56 points and 29 rebounds, defeating the Pistons by 27 points, and his personal shooting percentage reached an astonishing 65.7%. In the subsequent games, Chamberlain scored 50+ points and 40+ rebounds in four consecutive games. 3: Jordan, from 86 to 87, from 89 to 90, from 2} Jordan is historical in scoring ability. In the 1986 to 87 season opener against the Knicks, Jordan scored 50 points, 6 rebounds and 3 blocks. In the 1989 to 90 season opener against the Cavaliers, Jordan also scored 54 points, 14 rebounds and 6 assists. In this opening game, Jordan scored 61.3% of the shooting percentage, and no mistakes were 0. 4: Anthony Davis, in the 16-17 season, Davis, in the 16-17 season opener against the Nuggets, Davis scored 50 points, 15 rebounds, 5 assists, 5 steals and 4 blocks, making him the only player in the NBA opening game to score 50+15+5+4. In this game, Davis made 16 of 17 free throws, and finally unfortunately lost to the Nuggets by one point. 5: Irving, in the 19-20 season, Irving, in the opening match against the Timberwolves, Irving scored 50 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists. In this game, Irving made 14 three-pointers and made 7 times. Unfortunately, the Timberwolves' Towns alone also scored 36 points and 14 rebounds. In the end, the Nets also lost to the Timberwolves with one point. The 6 opener games won 50+, and only Chamberlain and Jordan led the team to win twice, and the others were lost to the other party. It can be seen that one person's ability is not good. Basketball is a team sport, and only when all players integrate into the game can they win the game.
