Christopher “Mad Dog” Russo debunked the notion that Doncic’s performance was the best individual performance of all time, and had few examples to support his argument.
“I know you guys want me to go out there and find some other games, and I’ll try to find some for you,” he said on ESPN’s “First Take” on Wednesday morning. But listen, he only took 31 shots. ” “He only made two threes. He made a great basket on the end of a rebound.
“But listen, it’s not a 100-point game that’ll wilt [Chamberlain] It was in ’62 when he scored 100 against the Knicks – 28-of-32 in the line. I think it was 63 that Elgin [Baylor] Was against the knicks in the same year. [Jerry] West scored 63 against the Knicks one year.”
Russo was not done during the segment. He continued to perform better than Doncic.

“There’s nobody else on Dallas who can score besides Doncic. But listen, I’m not going to be mad. I’d rather be mad. But what about the Knicks? Here’s a statistic.

Did you know that there’s never been a team to hold a nine-point lead 35 seconds or less into the game?”
“let’s not forget” Kobe Bryant’s 81-point game Against the Toronto Raptors in 2006, Russo added.
