Not exactly a sound methodology, but in Lukas 73 point game, if he were to have continued his exact shot diet with the same efficiency and taken as many shots as Kobe did to score 81. He was on track to score around 104 points. To me this kind of shows that 100 is within the realm of possible and isn’t 100% unattainable.
yeah that’s fair. I based the numbers off tendencies and play style a bit more than the ability to actually pull it off. it’s so tough to go about it because it’s only happened once and no one has really been close since 🤷♂️
@@Post2k69 Because Wilt's game was an intentional effort by the whole team to get him there...you seem unaware of this. "Warriors coach Frank McGuire at one point pulled out his entire starting five, save Chamberlain, and replaced them with bench players to foul the Knicks, get the ball back after free throws, and give Chamberlain the ball." Yeh that's not happening again lol.
Wilt said something like it’s normal to score twice the points you score on an average game. He was around 50points per game that season. Now Embid and Luka are around 35 ==> they scored around 70.
Victor in a few year's has the best chance imo! Give him top PG who will feed him, his not afraid to drain 3. He got the same height advantage as Wilt. So for me him. OFC is some 3 specialist like Steph catch fire and drain lets say 70-80% of 3. Chances are slim but not 0 in my opinion.
I think luka on a good night could do it. Steph and Kd are maybe outside their prime. Embiid, giannis. I think a player who is the main offensive option of a team with little back up will be the one to do it.
When Wilt scored 100 against a mediocre Knicks team in 1962, he had been averaging 60 or more in those games leading up to the game in Hershey…anemic am not downplaying what Wilt did…he went,to KU..and I was born in Kansas..and the inventor of the game , James Naismith was our first coach..and he is buried in Lawrence…but it is all chance…sometimes you get streaky..like Wilt’s free throws…sometimes he was terrible, sometimes he was fair…but that night he made 28 of 32…without those free throws…no way he gets to 100…but Wilt was a great player regardless, and still holds 72 records…
With the progression of the league tho, the new 50 will be 60, old 60 will be 70 and so on. So eventually, somewhere down the line (hopefully not), its possible. And if it is, its more a failure of the NBA than the success of a player tbh.
One of the few ways I could see the 100 point game being broken is if a game goes into multiple overtimes and the player already has over 70 points at the end of regulation. Give them 2 overtime periods and then they'll easily score more than 15 points in each of those two overtime periods to break Wilt's record.
In ‘62…there was no 3….not til 1980…and wilt scored that 100 in regulation..but struggled the last couple of,inutes..because of,the,pressure..but the public announcer was calling out the score after each bucket…
Wilt's 100 points game wasn't just because he's a great scorer; it's also because of his tremendous stat padding against the weakest team. He played 48 minutes even though the game was already decided at the end of the 3rd quarter. Wilt even took his most shots in the 4th quarter and scored most points in the 4th quarter. The current 2020's are scoring almost as many points as 60's, so it's possible if someone with great scoring ability + great stat padding + playing weak teams.
Wilt didn’t play against weak teams in the regular season, his warriors were the weak team compared to most NBA competition back in the 60s, plus the only reason he had so many minutes averaged on his team and throughout the season was because they trusted his scoring capabilities
100 points is very possible if someone had that intent, 25 points a quarter is not that crazy klay had 37 I think multiple players could (Kd,Curry,luka,dame, kyrie)
I agree that if someone had the intent to score 100 they can. but 25 points in a quarter is very rare, and pulling it off 4 consecutive times in the same game seems too tough
Lebron James last game. I don’t know if he’ll reach 100, BUT I do believe he will top Kobe’s 81. His teammates will dish him the ball, opponents won’t not play defense but they will definitely recognize the importance of the moment and ease off a bit. I think it could happen.

We never saw the first one.

Doncic is the closest one to achieving it

Not sure we'll see 100 again but i do think we'll see kobes 81 being surpassed and my money would be on someone like luka doing it first
agreed. 81 seems feasible

I mean, you need to the primary scorer, with good defense, be on a hot streak, have OT or even double OT and THEN you need to be lucky.
exactly. so many things have to go in your favor

agreed. 20 points in every quarter and a double overtime seems much more feasible

sounds great for embiid

Fuck Alladat it's gonna be Wemby
Luka on his day in double overtime he will get 100
This will go viral once Luka does it. Cause he will
The only untouchable record in the NBA belongs to A.C. Green, not Wilt Chamberlain.
The real question is, "Will anyone really care when it does?"
I think so… breaking the “unbreakable” record would be insane
I think Wemby can pull it off.

I think he’s too old now :(
The first one it's a lie 🤣🤣 where is the footage?they have games from the 1930's but we don't have this one ?!
Total BS
