The 15 Best Single-Game NBA Regular Season Performances Since 1983
4. Michael Jordan, 4/3/1988
As NBA analyst Mark Jackson would say, "Momma, there goes that man again." But, this man is not merely a man, but a legend, one just too good to make this list only once or twice.
In comparison to the two games prior, this one happened right in the middle. At the age of 25, Jordan's Bulls hooked up with Isiah Thomas and the Pistons for an April showdown. With 10 games left in the season, Jordan made a statement with 59 points, 6 assists and 4 rebounds in 44 minutes, posting an offensive rating of 173 on a true shooting percentage of 83.4%.
On the other side of the floor, MJ contributed two blocks and two steals and was awarded for his efforts with a Game Score of 54.7 as he helped to down the Pistons 112-110 in the Bulls' 43rd win of the season.
