Cliff Robinson is one of seven Suns players to score 50 or more points in a game.
Also was a solid, all-purpose defender.

Cliff, Barkley, Chambers, Delk, Amare, Booker, Crawford?

Pretty impressive if you did that from memory, Split.

Or Crawford since he only played one season with us and it was the last game of said season.

Much smaller list for Suns that have scored 60 or more.

An even smaller list of Suns who won a Championship ring as a Sun...

I'm kinda surprised Walter Davis never scored 50.

I knew Booker, Amare, and Delk did it. 99% sure Barkley did it and I believe Booker beat Chambers record. I almost forgot about Crawford’s 50 last season. Not sure I would have remembered Cliffy did it though.

Davis had a 45-point game in 86-87 for the Suns. More notable game, he went 15-16 from the field and 6-6 for free throws against Seattle in 1983. His 34 consecutive points on no missed shots (missed FG number 16) was then an NBA record. The next game, against Boston, every Celtic player came over to shake his hand and congratulate him in the pre-game warmups.

Out of curiosity, I looked it up:

Steve Nash's career high was 42 points, scored on Dec 12, 2006.
Shawn Marion's career high was 44 points, scored on Feb 22, 2006.
Kevin Johnson's career high was 44 points, scored twice, most recently on Nov 30, 1991.
Dan Majerle's career high was 34, scored on Jun 1, 1993.

KJ also had 46 in a playoff game.

I always found it weird that playoff games don’t “count” when career highs are listed.

LeBron has a really weird beard. It looks like it's glued onto his chin.

I recall Jim Jackson and Jamal Mashburn having 50-point games when Kidd was in Dallas, and then Cliff and Tony Buckets doing it when he was here, and wondering how many point guards had helped four different teammates to 50-point games.
