Is the era of the 50-60+ point scorers over in the NBA?

I always do that. 

 The moment i'm pressing post i start thinking what the hell did i just wrote and still press post.

How is Melo overrated??! There's not 1 player of any position that can contest his jumpshot or stay in front of him. He is "unguardable".

Kobe- When he was dropping 60 he was getting to the rim/getting free throws at will...those days are over.
LeBron- Never dropped 60 and isn't doing it now that his 2 butt-buddies take away his opportunities. Definitely has the ability, he could have dropped 60 on the Cavs.
Durant- Doesn't have the mentality to drop 60, not sure if he has enough of an offensive arsenal either.
Melo- Doesn't hit enough 3's or get enough free throws
Derrick Rose- Not enough FT's.

When kobe went off for 50 or 60 points it was because he got ridiculously hot from the perimeter. He scored 61 last year at MSG so I think he still has it in him.

Tmac and Iverson only have 1 60 point game each so it is not that easy to do.

He was definitely shooting well, but he also went 20-20 on FT's that game.

Monta had 44 tonight Only a matter of time before he has a 50 point performance.

i feel like if there's any player in the league right now that can drop 60, it's kobe.

smh at the dumb posts in this thread. melo can average 40???

yes, he can get a few 50 point games and maybe even hit 60 in d'antonis run and gun offense if he's traded to NY, but not even MJ ever averaged 40
