    4th highest Game Score in NBA history. (BBREF calculation going back to the 1984)

    #1 Jordan's 69/18/6/4
    #2 Kobe's 81
    #3 Malone's 61 & 18
    #4 Harden's 60/11/10

    Harden has 4 games in top 50. (#4. #25. #29. #48)

    Also a couple high ranking playoff games #31 & #57. Both vs Warriors in WCF.

    Shaq is a ****ing idiot, for God's sake just shut up, okc was 6th seed last year got bounced in the first round and still gave it to westprick, you don't have to win a championship to get the mvp.

    Even with looking at any reference guide, you need to include Wilt's 100 pt game at the top of this list.

    60 points is nice, triple double is awesome. what I like the most is the efficiency, 19/30. this is above 60% FG%.

    How does Harden's 60pt triple double rate against Lebron's 17ast 0tov game? lol

    60pt triple double didn't even get a breaking news bottom scroll.

    It's already been forgotten.

    *bump

    Because TNT announcing Harden is first person to get 4 50pt triple doubles shouldn't let us forget that he also has the FIRST and ONLY 60pt triple double.

    Harden is the 3rd best SG of all time behind MJ and Kobe.

    All he needs is one ring to solidify this in everyone mind.

    From a statistical standpoint he’s clearly better than Kobe atleast offensively.

    I don’t think casual and even some hardcore nba fans really truly understand how special he is.

    Guy is a top 25 player off all time no questions asked.

    He going to finish his career top 10 in points and top 15 in assist and top 5 in made threes.

    He’s an all time great that ppl will talk about for ever like they do with the other greats like Jerry west and guys like him.

    He’ll never be top 10 unless he wins 3+ rings which I just don’t see happening. I’m hoping for 1 and he easily be mentioned on the tier right below the Mount Rushmore

    He will do it again, imo he'll accomplish this twice before he retires.

    Harden not goin to finish top 10 in points, he was on the bench his first three years so he got off to a late start. I don’t even think he’s goin to surpass Carmelo in all time scoring.

    I think he is the wade, drexler, west range. Drexler took his team to the finals and won a ring with us. Wade won a final as the best player and has a couple other rings. Jerry west won a finals MVP on a losing team and been to finals as much as LeBron.

    Harden might finish as the 3rd best but you can't call him the 3rd best today.
