Wow, week four. We made it a month with Trivia Tuesday. Shout out to me. (And I guess you guys for playing along.) Okay well we don’t want Drake asking how much time this blogger is spending on the intro, so let’s get into it.
Right, so here’s a nice little one to get us started. Fifty point games are pretty memorable, so do you think you can remember the last person from each franchise to drop a fifty spot? A lot of these are pretty obvious, but there are some deep cuts as well. Two quick notes: the Trail Blazers’ representative is definitely not who you think, and we’re going to need Blake Griffin or Chris Paul to step up and drop fifty because having Charles Smith from back in 1990 as your latest fifty spot is embarrassing for the Clips. Oh yeah, I got a cool 23/28, but I wasn’t even alive for Smith’s effort so I don’t blame myself for that one.

Sticking with the fifty point game theme, this quiz wants you to name every player in NBA history to drop fifty. Now this one was pretty tough. I dropped a solid 74/122 but there were numerous guys on this list I’ve never even heard of. For example, Rudy LaRusso. Well turns out he was a stud in the 60s, going to five all-star games with the Minnesota/Los Angeles Lakers and San Francisco Warriors. See, you learn things from NBA Trivia Tuesday. Also it’s pretty hilarious seeing names like Tony Delk and Dana Barros on the same list as Jordan, Wilt, LeBron, Kobe, etc.

All right, I’ll let you guys out early this week. It’s only Tuesday and it’s already been a long week. Come back rested and refreshed so you can dominate next time.
