In NBA history, 10 players have achieved this feat on 14 occasions (Wilt Chamberlain had six such games). Below is a look at every 70-point game in NBA history.
Embiid became the ninth different player with a 70-point game: Chamberlain did it six times, and everyone else on the list — Baylor, Thompson, David Robinson, Bryant, Devin Booker, Donovan Mitchell, Damian Lillard and now Embiid — has done it once.
Kobe posted six 60-point games during the course of his career. He scored 50 or more points 26 times, and 40 or more 134. Kobe Bryant, the legendary basketball player, scored 60 or more points in a game six times during his NBA career.
Take a look back at LBJs career-high 61-point performance vs the Bobcats on March 3, 2014, with some sound over the years on him being in the zone that night.
Another notable high-scoring regular season game is a March 2, 1962, game between the Philadelphia Warriors and the New York Knicks. In that game, the Warriors' Wilt Chamberlain scored an NBA-record 100 points.
Wilt Chamberlain unsurprisingly holds the record for most points scored in a season with 4,029, which he did back in 1961-62 with the Philadelphia Warriors. Michael Jordan is the only other player to score at least 3,000 in a season, a feat Chamberlain accomplished three times.
Most likely Wilt Chamberlain. He had 271 games scoring 40pts or more. The next closest was Michael Jordan with 173. Chamberlain had 118 games where he scored 50 points.
How many 60-point games does LeBron James have? James has only one 60-point performance throughout his career. The 61-point game against Charlotte Bobcats on Mar.
