Interesting new ranking. Easier to track player achievements throughout the year.

I wonder where Kobe's 81 point performance would rank. Too lazy to calculate it based on ESPN ranking.

 

[SportsTicker]

Dwyane Wade - 11
Lebron James - 7
Devin Harris - 5
Vince Carter - 4
Danny Granger - 4
Dwight Howard - 4
Chris Bosh - 4
Dirk Nowitzki - 3
Chris Paul - 3
Kevin Durant - 3
Kobe Bryant - 2
Tony Parker - 2

Top game belonged to Amare Stoudemire, but he had only one game in the top 100.
