4. Kobe Bryant's 81 points - sorry Kobe fans but it's against a weak team Toronto Raptors, though this is just my opinion and you have yours.
3. Kobe Bryant outscoring the Mavs 62-61. A one-man-wrecking-crew!
2. Michael Jordan's 69 points - His career high against a strong and good defensive team Cleveland Cavaliers. I don't care if the game went into an overtime. The Cavs are good that time.
1. Wilt Chamberlain's 100 points - It doesn't matter what era he made those numbers. It's still 100! It will still be the highest scoring output by a player in the history of the NBA. I don't think it will ever be broken!
PLAYOFFS 5. Michael Jordan's 54 vs the Knicks
4. Charles Barkley's 56 points
3. Michael Jordan's 63 points against the Celtics - The Celtics are the best in the East that time, but the Bulls lost in the first round of the playoffs.
2. Michael Jordan's 55 points in the Finals against the Suns - it's the Finals.
1. Elgin Baylor's 61 points. No other player managed to score 60 or above in the Finals.
Game 6 2003 Western Conference Finals - Steve Kerr 12 points in 13 minutes of action Spurs losing all night until Pop puts Kerr in the 4th quarter to nail four 3pointers smooth as silk
Game 1 1995 Eastern conference semi's - Reggie Miller 8 points in 8.9 seconds
I agree with all those above, I just want to throw this one out there, Brandon Jennings 55 points Rookie Year, after coming back from overseas no one thought he would be this talented, of course this is not a top 5 all time, just showing some love to my Milwaukee Bucks!
