I was listening to his father, former #1 overall pick Mychal Thompson, on the radio this morning. There are some interesting points about 60 point games in general and about Klay's outburst in particular:
- only 23 players have scored 60 or more points in a game
- of the total of 66 sixty point games, Wilt Chamberlain alone has nearly half of them, 32.
- Kobe (6x), Jordan (5x) and Elgin Baylor (4x) are the only other guys with multiple 60 point games
- Klay scored his 60 in just 29 minutes of floor time; he is the only person to score 60 in less than 30 minutes
- Most amazing of all: despite scoring 60 points and taking 33 shots, Klay barely touched the ball. He had the ball in his hands for just 88 seconds total.
