In NBA history, only one player has ever scored more than 100 points in a single game, and that was the record set by Wilt Chamberlain of the Washington Wizards against the Philadelphia Braves on March 2, 1962.
That game was a playoff qualifying game, and Wilt Chamberlain showed his amazing talent and strong scoring ability in that game. He made an outstanding performance of 28 of 36 free throws and a high shooting percentage of 22 of 36 shots, ultimately helping the team win 169 - 147.
Wilt Chamberlain's record of 100 points in a single game is unmatched by no one in NBA history. Although many players have had ultra-high scoring performances over the past few decades, no one has been able to achieve this feat. Famous players such as Carl Malone, Kobe Bryant, Jordan, Zhou Qi, and Yi Jianlian have all had remarkable scoring performances, but none of them have broken records.
Wilt Chamberlain has many amazing records in his NBA career. In addition to scoring more than 100 points in a single game, he also has an average record of 50.4 points per game and 27.2 rebounds per game. These two records are also unmatched by no one.
Although Wilt Chamberlain's single-game scoring record has not yet been broken, other players have had many amazing scoring performances in NBA history. Pistons legend Oscar Robertson once scored 59 points in a game, Walter Berry once had a highlight of 57 points, and players such as Elgin Baylor and Dave Byrne also had a gratifying performance of more than 50 points.
Wilt Chamberlain's 100-point record has become an unmatched milestone in NBA history. Although there are many players who can unleash astonishing scoring abilities in a single game, breaking the record is still a difficult task. Maybe there will be players in the future who can surpass this record, but so far, Wilt Chamberlain's 100 points are a legend in NBA history.
