50 memories, pictures, and trivia about the Jazz Power Forward.
1- Karl scored 50 points in 5 games.
2- Karl first scored 50 points in a game on December 22, 1989. In Charlotte. He played 43 minutes and scored 52 points. He was 26 years old.
3- 36 days later, and after an All-Star snub Karl scored 50 again against Milwaukee on his way to a career high 61 points in 33 minutes.
4-Watch all 61 points here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_yozMkcXFs
5-It would be almost 6 years before he scored 50 pts again. This time against Golden State on Dec 9 1995. He shot 68% on his way to 51 points. Maybe Rony Seikly remembered the abuse when he turned down a trade to the Jazz 3 years later.
6- His next 50 pt game was also against GS. On April 9, 1998 at the age of 34 years and 247 days. He scored 56 in 42 minutes.
7- His last 50 pt game was amazing. April 22, 2000. Karl was nearly 37 years old, it was the first round of the playoffs against Seattle. Seattle had Horace Grant, Karl's opponent from the Bulls playoffs, former teammate Greg Foster and Vin Baker. Karl Scored 50 pts in 43 minutes.
8- Karl is the oldest player to score 50 points in the playoffs.
9- Karl scored his 50th point of his career against the GSW on November 5, 1985. He scored 11 points in the game.
10- Karl scored his 50th playoff point in game 2 of the 1986 playoffs against Dallas. He scored 31 points in the game, the first time he ever scored more than 30, but it wasn't enough. Dallas won the game and the series.
more to come....
