With only Wilt Chamberlain and Allen Iverson putting up more on one night than he did. He also pulled down 11 boards, dished out 8 assists, had 7 blocks, a steal, went 20-24 from the FT line, and 19-28 from the field. And he put up all those points, despite only hitting a single 3-pointer. He was unstoppable. It was one of the best individual performances in not only Philly Sports History, but in sports history overall. And it got Andrew Salciunas thinking of other great individual performances in sports history.
And so that was the theme of today's Audio Vault. The best individual performances in team sports history.Things like Kobe Bryant's 81-point game, Reggie Jackson and crushing 3 home runs in one World Series game, or Reggie Leach racking up 5 goals in one game. In honor of Joel Embiid's big night, Andrew gathered some of the best individual performances from team sports history, to play in the Audio Vault today on The Anthony Gargano Show. And if you missed it, you can hear it again right here.
