Mike Conley is the 4th player in the last 25 years to record at least 26 points, 10 rebound and 9 assists on a road playoff game. The other 3 were MIchael Jordan, Lebron James and Baron Davis.
And whenever I make a Baron Davis post, I always have to put in the comments made from The Painted Area with their All Underachiever team (2000s) about Baron Davis.
I still remember one episode of Inside the NBA in which Kenny Smith relayed a conversation he had once had with Baron Davis, which went something like this (paraphrasing from memory here):
Kenny: "On offense, is there anyone who can stop you on the basketball court?"
Baron: "No."
Kenny: "On defense, is there anyone who you can't stop on the basketball court?"
Baron: "No."
Kenny: "Then why aren't you one of the ten best players in the league?!?!"
Kenny touches upon the underrated aspect of Baron's lost potential: defense. In 2008, Devin Harris was asked about which point guards were the best at different elements of the game (best shooter, best penetrator, best handle, etc.). For best defender, part of his answer was this: "Baron is a major pain when he's motivated."http://thepaintedarea.blogspot.com/2009/12/nba-all-decade-2000s-underachievers.html
