For fans, this was a game to be remembered forever.
Allen Iverson scored 50 points against Roger's 61 points in a single game.
Two Reebok spokesmen combined for an astounding total of 111 points in one game.
The last time something similar happened was back in the data-joking '60s when Wilt Chamberlain scored 78 points vs. Elgin Baylor's 63 points. By the way, they also grabbed 43 and 31 rebounds respectively...
Within basketball-related stats, perhaps only a careless author accidentally writing a game's score as 1110 points is more preposterous than what those two achieved.
In NBA history, there have only been 5 instances where players from both teams scored at least 50 points in the regular season, and Roger and AI claimed one of these occasions.
It was undoubtedly a great feat, a historical feat of greatness.
But tonight, Allen Iverson also found himself with 50 points and a sense of inferiority.
