Bob Pettit still shares the record for most points in an NBA Championship clinching game w/ Giannis. Pettit had 50 in a Game 6 win for the St. Louis Hawks in the 1958 Finals, the only team besides Boston to win a title between 1957 and 1966. RIP to one of the legends of the game.
The Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame mourns the passing of Bob Pettit, a sleek, skilled big man who revolutionized the forward position during his career. The 11-time NBA All-Star and 2-time MVP retired as the all-time leading scorer in NBA history and left an enduring legacy. He led the St. Louis Hawks to the 1958 NBA championship over the Boston Celtics. The Basketball Hall of Fame salutes this true giant of the game.
