Michael Jordan 1990: 45 points vs Celtics (72.4% FG)
This is the 81st Game of the 1989/1990. Playing in only 35 minutes, succeeded in Jordan score 45 points against the Bird-less Celtics bubbles while shooting 72.4% from the field. Rick Barry wondered aloud how many points had been achieved, Jordan would be playing it for several minutes. The way he was shot, it could easily have been a 50 point game he had played even 5 minutes. In fact, I think he could have gone for 60, he would have played the full 48th He could miss. The Celticsstill managed to win, but the game was meaningless as far as playoff implications were affected. Nevertheless, Jordan's spectacular performance by his standards. 45 points was hardly worth mentioning for Jordan in his prime - it was more the rule than the exception, however, was the ridiculous fg% something special, even for someone who is an efficient 33.6 PPG on 52.6% shooting for the year averaged.
