Last night, LeBron James scored 57 points leading the Cleveland Cavaliers in Washington past the Wizards, marking the first 50+point game of the season. However, the trend started last season.

The game is evolving, the tempo is becoming faster, the players are shooting deep three-point shots, they go easier to the free-throw line and so eventually more points are being scored than they were in the “golden age” of the 1990s and the Michael Jordan era.

During the 2016-2017 NBA season, the NBA had thirteen (13) fifty point performances and ten of them were registered by different players, which has never been done before in the history of the NBA.

Eurohoops, presents you those players who scored 50+ points the 2016-2017 season, a historical record and after LeBron’s big night it remains to be seen if it can be broken this season.
