    Paul Pierce and LeBron James both got over 40 points in their game 7. Does anyone know if that's ever happened before?

    I don't think so. There's only been 1 40 point game 7 performance prior to these two, IIRC. I think that's what they showed during the game, at least.

    It's amazing to say the least.

    well just checked and apparently bird only scored 34 to nique's 47 in that game 7 shootout they had so it's possible no one has done it. although i would think in the higher scoring era of the 60's it must have happened at some point.

    so basically the highest scoring mano a mano shootout between big time stars in game 7 history isn't a big deal?

    Wow, two 40 point explosions in a defensive slugfest isn't even going to raise sook's eyebrow? At least you have standards, I guess.

    He needs to stick to And1 or MTV Shock and Jock basketball (or whatever the hell else it was called). It's not a real game until someone makes a 25-pointer.

    lol. I remember one year where they had 3 baskets...so if it went through like the very top one it was like a 75 pointer or something. I don't remember if they counted it if it fell through the baskets below it too but for some reason I seem to remember them doing that too lol.
