| Thompson dunked on a game |
Thompson made the NBA All-Star Game
four seasons, and reached his peak in 1978 season. On April 9, 1978,
the last day of the regular NBA season, Thompson scored 73 points
against the Detroit Pistons in an effort to win the NBA scoring title (he barely lost the scoring title to San Antonio's George Gervin,
who scored 63 points in a game played later that same day). He also led
the Denver Nuggets to the NBA playoffs, but they lost to the eventual
Western Conference champion Seattle SuperSonics.
Thompson shot 13-14 from the field in the first quarter, setting an NBA
record. 53 points on 20-23 shooting in 22 minutes played and made 17 of 20 from free throw line. Last game of
the season; George Gervin scored 63 on the same night to win the scoring
title by a .07 margin.
