In this blog post, we’ll take a look at the NBA player who scored the most points in a single game in NBA history.

Wilt Chamberlain

100-point game

In 1962,Wilt Chamberlain set the record for the most points in an NBA game when he scored 100 points for the Philadelphia Warriors in a 169-147 victory against the New York Knicks. It was a record that would stand for almost 46 years until Kobe Bryant scored 81 points for the Los Angeles Lakers in a 122-104 victory over the Toronto Raptors in 2006.

Unmatched statistical records

In his 14 seasons in the NBA, Wilt Chamberlain set dozens of statistical records that have never been broken. He holds the NBA’s single-game scoring record, scoring 100 points in a game against the New York Knicks in 1962. He also holds the record for most points in a single season, with 4,029 points scored during the 1961-62 season.

Michael Jordan

Michael Jordan is widely considered the best basketball player of all time. He was a ten-time NBA All-Star and won six NBA championships with the Chicago Bulls. He also won the NBA MVP Award five times. In addition, Jordan was a successful businessman, and he is the owner of the Charlotte Hornets.

Flu Game

On June 11, 1997, in Game 5 of the NBA Finals, Michael Jordan scored 38 points against the Utah Jazz. The victory helped the Chicago Bulls win their fifth championship. But what made this game so special wasn’t just that Jordan led his team to victory. It was how he did it.

Jordan was suffering from a severe case of flu, and he was so sick that he could barely stand up. In fact, he had to be helped off the court at one point. But he kept playing, and he ended up scoring the winning basket in the dying seconds of the game. That shot has gone down in history as one of the most iconic moments in NBA history.

The “Flu Game” is just one example of Jordan’s unbelievable determination and will to win. He was always willing to put everything on the line for his team, and that’s one of the reasons why he is considered one of the greatest players of all time.

Last Shot

It’s the most iconic image in NBA history. Michael Jordan, wearing his now-famous black and red Chicago Bull’s jersey, jumper in hand, tongue wagging as he soars through the air towards the basket. In a single motion, he cocks the ball back and then with perfect form lets it rip through the net as time expires, giving the Bulls a 103-102 victory over the Utah Jazz in Game 6 of the 1998 NBA Finals. The shot not only gave Jordan his sixth NBA Championship but cemented his legacy as one of the greatest basketball players of all time.
