Surprise! These NBA stars never scored 50 in a game - a podcast by Over and Back NBA Podcast

The Over and Back Classic NBA Podcast continues its series on 50-point games with a look at some of the great scorers of all-time who never had 50 points in a game.

Throughout the episode we look at these all-time greats who never got to 50 points in a game, discuss that players career-high point total, how close they got to the elusive 50, their amount of 40-point games and how surprising it was that they never reached the big 5-0.

The list is broken down into a few categories including Top 50 all-time players who never reached 50 points like Los Angeles Lakers legend Magic Johnson, Paul Arizin, Isiah Thomas and Walt “Clyde” Frazier. Our next category looks at other all-time PPG leaders including Mitch Richmond who despite being 43rd all-time in PPG, never reached 50 points. We also highlight Glenn Robinson, Walt Bellamy and World B. Free.

Next, we look at all-time points leaders who never hit the 50 point plateau including perhaps most shockingly Kevin Garnett, Artis Gilmore (ABA excluded), Robert Parish and Gary Payton.

Lastly, we look at players who never scored 50 points in a regular-season NBA game but did it in other circumstances including Charles Barkley who scored 50 points in a playoff game and Julius Erving who had four 50-point games in the ABA but none in the NBA.
