Holy Sh...62 on 20-37 is crazy and he didn't even shoot well from the FT line at all. I think Kobe could do something similar if he had an offense based around him. Maybe KG, but those are the only players capable of this right now.
I said capable of it, not done it. I think Yao could eventually if he developed that kind of mindset and the team was completely built around him.
In the past 12 years, only David Robinson (71 vs. the Clippers on April 24, 1994) and Michael Jordan (63 vs. Orlando on Jan. 16, 1993) have scored as least 62 points in a game.
How about this: "Hi. My name is Gilbert Arenas and I scored 40 points tonight. Unfortunately for me, I won't make the headlines because not only did my team lose, we lost to the Magic who were led by T-Mac... he scored 62 points. Bummer!" Sucks to be Gilbert tonight! -- droxford
