Over here we see the 100 biggest GameScores known, which is from 1984-85 to present;
https://www.basketball-reference.com/le ... score.html
Just 2 days after Giannis had the 6th biggest GmSc, Jalen Brunson had a masterpiece, landing at #23.
Code: Select all
GmSc player date Min TS% Pts Rb As St Bk TO BPM gbpm
57.0 Giannis 12.13 37.2 .760 64 14 3 4 1 4 23.4 18.1
51.4 Brunson 12.15 35.2 .927 50 6 9 5 0 2 33.6 24.6
(42.7) K Murray 12.16 36.1 .949 47 8 2 2 0 0 26.2 19.7
Last year too, there had been 2 top100 games by this date. By season's end, there would be 10.
I've added Keegan Murray's brilliant outing as well. Seeing the uneven-ness of the Giannis/Brunson comparison via GmSc and BPM, I suggest
game bpm = BPM*min/48, as a better/alternative measure of "best game".

Luka with a monster game, #17 GmSc in the all-time list.
Here's a table that I will try to update; I think it's every game this season with a GameScore >40.
Final 2 columns: GameBPM = BPM * Min/48. More credit for more minutes.
GmSc does not consider minutes; so GS48 = GmSc * 48/min -- what your GmSc would be if you could keep that proficiency up for 48 min.
xy = sqrt(bpmg*GS48)

It looks like Victor Wembanyama's 30/6/6/7 in 24 minutes played had a BPM of +32. Pretty incredible performance. Third best performance per minute this season, behind LeBron and Jalen Brunson.

Yeah, that would rank #6 above, with the current formulation.
I just don't know how to systematically gather such games.
Third best performance per minute this season...
This presumes a minimum minutes cutoff.
It's kind of arbitrary, to count or not to count. I've taken gamebpm = BPM*min/48, and averaged it with BPM, for the table above.
A player
might have been as proficient had he played more minutes; but
he didn't. So an avg is a compromise between the known and the unknown.

The Stathead Game Finder allows you to search for games sorted by BPM. Have to apply a minimum minutes criteria in the search.

Yeah when they offer it to me free, I may use it.

From games with GameScore > 40, I've looked up game BPM and multiplied it by min/48 to arrive at, uh, gBPM.
xy2 = sqrt(gBPM*GmSc)

* - Wembanyama's nice outing for 24 min. ranks above 9 of 31 GmSc>40; it's included here to demonstrate that it's very likely other games would intrude on these ranks, thanks to high BPM. I just don't have that listing.
