Over and Back: Stories About NBA History

On the latest episode of Over and Back, Jason and Rich revisit one of their favorite topics: 50-point games in NBA and ABA history.

The focus this time is on the last four seasons, which have seen 18% of all 50-point games in league history. They discuss the recent surge in 60-point games and new additions to the 70-point game club.

They also explore why there has been such a significant increase in 50-point games over the past few years, whether this trend is unprecedented, who is most likely to break the all-time 50-point game record, and more.
