Which NBA Player Has the Most Points?

We take a look at the NBA player with the most points and see how they got to the top!

Introduction

In order to find the answer to this question, we must first understand what points are in the context of basketball. In basketball, points are used to keep track of the score in a game. One point is awarded for each successful shot made from the field, and two points are awarded for each successful shot made from behind the three-point line. Three points are also awarded for each successful shot made from the free throw line.

The player with the most points in an NBA game is the one who has scored the most points throughout the course of that game. Therefore, to answer this question, we must look at the player who has scored the most points in a single game. The record for most points in an NBA game is held by Wilt Chamberlain, who scored 100 points in a game against the New York Knicks on March 2, 1962.
