Most Points by a Basketball Player

NBA: most points by a player in a game – 100. Wilt Chamberlain set the single-game scoring record in NBA by scoring 100 points for the Philadelphia Warriors in a 169–147 win over the New York Knicks on March 2, 1962. It is widely considered the greatest record in basketball. Incredibly, the game was not televised and there is no video footage of the game. The next best effort is 81 by the late Kobe Bryant.
