NBA’s Top 10 Highest Scores In A Single Game
On March 2nd of 1962, Wilt “The Stilt” Chamberlain scored an amazing 100 points in a single game. At the time there was very little excitement about this and it barely made the news. It is such ashame there was no video footage for this game. This is such an impressive accomplishment, that I doubt this record will or even could ever be broken. The closest player ever to rival that feat was Kobe Bryant in 2006, when he hurled in 81 points against the Toronto Raptors. He made seven 3-pointers and 18 free throws. The list below contains the top 10 all time highs in a single game.
1 - 100 - Wilt Chamberlain
