The 12 Best Individual NBA Playoff Performances Over the Past 30 Years
Who has been the most dominant for their team when it matters most?

7. Vince Carter, 5/11/2001

As we previously uncovered, Allen Iverson and the Sixers got the best of the Raptors in the 2001 Eastern Conference Semifinals. It wasn't without resistance, though. Vince Carter got his blows in, too, especially when he dropped a 50-burger in Game 3.

Of his 29 shot attempts, Carter made a total of 19. Nine of those came from behind the arc, leading to a 44.8% success rate from downtown, along with a true shooting percentage of 82.5% and an offensive rating of 166 points per 100 possessions.

Carter's play translated to a Game Score of 46.8 as Toronto came away with the 102-78 win. Unfortunately, the Raps lost three of the next four games and their postseason hopes went no further.
