Just anyone dropping 50 these days

[Havlicekstealsit]

This guy did it last night. He averages 5.3ppg.

[lettherebehouse]

I don’t know who that is

[thedangerouskitchen]

That's Malachi Flynn from the Pistons... a 6'1/175 pound little runt (ie; "bigger, better, stronger, more physically fit than anyone from the 80's -00's) - lololol) playing his 4th season in the NBA and averaging a scant 5-PPG on 39% in 14-minutes off the bench for his career AND who has scored as many as 20 or more Points just four (4) other times in 200+ games played prior to last night.

"Some" fans of today's soft/weak era will tell you that Flynn is "just another example of how skilled/talented this era is" (even though the guy can't get more than 13 minutes of play-time per night on the WORST team in the league); however astute hoops fans know this is just another example of weak and soft Defense (as Silver, Dumars and many current players and coaches have confirmed) played in an era where it has never, eeeeeeeever been easier to Score.

How embarrassing it is to call this era great, let alone the best ever...

[Uncontroversial]

even role players today are more talented and skilled than Michael Jordan was

[AlaskaHawks]

50 points off the bench, in only 34 minutes and on only 25 shots. The talent in this era is outstanding.

It really is. The depth of talent just dwarfs anything ever seen in prior eras.

[Bush4Ever.]

Willie Burton and Tony Delk scored > 50 in a game

[Titan18]

Definitely the weakest era ever

Like Jesus, people hate TDK because he spits the truth

Larry Johnson in this era would put up Giannis numbers

[Havlicekstealsit]

One of Tacoma's finest.

Oh shoot he went to Bellarmine Prep and averaged 29.7ppg as a senior. Didn't realize he was a local kid.

Larry Johnson might be an end of the bench rotation player. Mostly just garbage time.

[zombiesonics]

Bellarmine Prep legend.

[zombiesonics]

Aaaaand he follows that up with 3 points on 0/12 shooting.

[elmerjfudd]

From the highlights he looks like he could have been a star in the 90s and 80s
