Imagine dropping 52 points and a triple-double at Madison Square Garden… only for the league to take one rebound away afterward.
LeBron finished with 52 points, 11 assists, and was initially credited with 10 rebounds in one of the most iconic performances of his career. After a stat review, the NBA changed it to 9 rebounds, leaving him just short of what would’ve been a 50-point triple-double.
What makes it even crazier is that this is still the closest LeBron has ever come to a 50-point triple-double. One rebound. That’s it.
Either way, Knicks fans and everyone watching knew they were witnessing something special that night. MSG has seen plenty of legends, but a 52-point masterclass from LeBron is still one of those performances people bring up all these years later.
