On the latest episode of Over and Back, Jason and Rich revisit one of their favorite topics: 50-point games in NBA and ABA history.
The focus this time is on the last four seasons, which have seen 18% of all 50-point games in league history. They discuss the recent surge in 60-point games and new additions to the 70-point game club.
They also explore why there has been such a significant increase in 50-point games over the past few years, whether this trend is unprecedented, who is most likely to break the all-time 50-point game record, and more.

The Denver Nuggets have won their franchise's first NBA title, largely thanks to Nikola Jokić. For his efforts, he was awarded the Bill Russell Award for NBA Finals MVP, a testament to his outstanding performance.
However, we're not sure people are quite understanding just HOW great Jokić was during both the 2023 NBA Finals and the entire 2023 playoff season.
Join the Over and Back Classic NBA Podcast as we explore the very real possibility that Nikola Jokić just had one of the greatest playoff runs in NBA history.

In this episode, we will look back on the franchises’ history. It’s a fascinating one with bouts of futility, innovations, and experiments of the game, lost superstars, and now, finally, NBA Finals glory.

Another year in the books, and yet again, our annual Christmas/holiday tradition! Jason and Rich welcome Dr. Curtis Harris (http://prohoopshistory.substack.com) to the show for a live watch of Miami Heat vs. Dallas Mavericks from Christmas Day 2011.
(Unfortunately, Reinis Lācis couldn't join us this year but we're working on a replacement watch along with him very soon!)
This year, we watched a very important game in NBA history as the Dallas Mavericks received their rings on opening night which was also Christmas Day? Wait what? Yes, due to the NBA lockout, the 2011-12 season was condensed to just 66 games which meant the season began on Christmas Day.
In this episode, we discuss the reasons for the lockout, how the Big 3 Miami Heat re-tooled in the offseason, how the Dallas Mavericks cheaped out and immediately saw disastrous results along with several other discussions about the NBA past and present.
Join us for our holiday special, a night of laughs, nostalgia and so much more.

If Kevin Durant has his way, he’ll be traded from the Brooklyn Nets to a new team this offseason. This got us thinking: how many elite scorers have been traded in NBA history?
Believe it or not, more than you may think!
Thanks to Stathead.com, we took Durant's 2022 scoring average (29.9 PPG) and found every season in NBA and ABA history where a player averaged over 29.9 PPG: https://stathead.com/tiny/1N74Y. From there, we looked at each player that was traded the year after their elite scoring season and talked briefly about how and why they were traded, how the teams and players fared after their trades and more!

We'll look at each and every champion in NBA, ABA, BAA and NBL history and determine who the best player on each of those teams are.
Some teams won't have a debate, we all know who that guy is but there are a ton of teams with some real cases to be made for multiple players. We'll explore all of that in this series.
This is a big topic so we're doing two shows — Part 1 will go through the 1974 season.
