He also ranks eighth in free throws made per game with 6.3. Rudy ranks 11th in the League this year in free throws attempted with 7.3 per game. His teammate, Cousins, is sitting in ninth place with 22.5 points per outing. 12Īveraging 21.8 points per game this season, Gay is currently ranked 12th in the NBA in scoring. The Baltimore native is one of only 18 players in NBA history to amass at least 10,000 points, 3,400 rebounds, 1,200 assists and 800 steals before his 29th birthday, joining NBA greats like Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Kobe Bryant and Kevin Garnett with that achievement. On Halloween night this year against Portland, the “Great Rudini” joined Oscar Robertson as only two players in franchise history to produce the first 40-point game of an NBA season.
The last time Gay tallied that many points in a single game was against the Miami Heat on December 13, 2009, as a member of the Memphis Grizzlies. 8 poured in a career-high-tying 41 points on 16-of-25 from the field and 5-of-8 from behind the arc against the Pelicans. With 23 points and 10 rebounds against the Oklahoma City Thunder on November 9, 2014, Sacramento's star small forward tallied his 59th double-double of his career and his sixth in a Kings uniform.
