McGrady 52 in 3 quarters, sat out the 4th
Mashburn 50 in OT
Jordan 43, best for a 40yr old in the NBA, ever.
Iverson 41
Bryant 40, 8 straight games with 40+ and 11 consecutive with 35+

This marks the 3rd time in NBA history in which 5 players have scored 40 or more points on the same day.

1 final note: It was truly a shame that Gary Payton was not able to play for Milwaukee in their game at Seattle because of the "48 hour trade window" in place. A shame, I don't know, he's a millionaire and i'm writing in this blog.
