The 15 Best Single-Game NBA Regular Season Performances Since 1983
Which NBA player has put together the most dominant performance in a single game over the past 34 years?

14. Amare' Stoudemire, 11/5/2008

Early on in the 2008 season, the Phoenix Suns traveled to Conseco Fieldhouse to take on Danny Granger and the Indiana Pacers. Granger put up 23 points on his home court, but he was utterly outdone by one Amar'e Stoudemire.

On a team full of big-name players -- Steve Nash, Shaquille O'Neal and Grant Hill -- Stoudemire shined brightest. In 44 minutes, the big man missed just 4 of his 21 attempts from the field while accounting for an effective field goal percentage of 81%. An unblemished 15 of 15 from the line increased that number to 88.8% in terms of true shooting percentage.

No matter which way you slice it, Stoudemire was hyper-efficient in scoring 49 points along with 11 rebounds, 6 assists, 5 steals and 2 blocks. That line was worthy of a 50.2 Game Score, and it was instrumental in the Suns' 113-103 win.
