If we dig a little deeper into this information, we will see that the last player to have such a game was the legendary Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in 1972, and he also did it once two years before that. Besides him and Jokić, only Wilt Chamberlain in 1967 and Elgin Baylor in 1963 have had such a playoff game.
What company to be in.
