[Highlight] Bam ties Kobe for the second-highest NBA scoring game ever before exiting
BRO BREAK THE RECORD WTF
I think he went back on the floor.
edit: He broke Kobe’s record!
Kobe did not have a record
Technically, he scored the most points in an nba game in the 21st century before tonight
Most scored since 1962 if we are being specific
A lot of wilt records “don’t count” because they are so absurd so beating Kobe’s 81 counts as the new modern record
Only cause he settled out of court
PRs are still technically Rs right?
Should’ve taken it from the rapist
Oh boy
No no, he’s right
Lmao. I was going to say the Asian hater.
Spo got them fouling so he might
Wiz big brain fouling other Miami players
This is the stupidest shit I’ve seen.
Yeah just fouling back and forth is so dumb
No the fuck it isn’t when dudes got 80
Enjoy the literal most historic scoring night since whenever wilts was, the 60s?
It’s fucking heat vs wizards who cares about ethical hoops
I mean i watched it and didnt enjoy it. To each his own
did u happen to catch the 31 pt 1st quarter? that was hella fun
Ive seen people call it immoral, not noble, unethical… lol people just hate basketball i think
Exactly. It’s fucking HEAT VS WIZARDS! A useless game that means nothing in the middle of march but people are complaining about the “ethics” of the game lmao
No one woulda watched it if this wasn’t happening
Not noble is honestly fucking hilarious.
Ser Bam of the Blackwater doesn’t fight with honor. Ned did. But in the end, Ned lost his head and Sir Bam of the Blackwater chilled in his castle with his record, and fucked his wench, Lady A’ja on the All-Maiden team.
Suck it Ned.
It wasn’t basketball at that point bro
WHO CARES? I guarantee you didn’t have the game on until you saw how much Bam had in the first quarter, if not even later. So why does it matter if it “wasn’t basketball”?
This is literally the most historic scoring night in basketball in 64 years.
Tanking isn’t basketball
That’s how Wilt scored 100.
Ok
Yeah I don’t mind seeing someone go for a record, I appreciate wanting to break something. Those last 3 mins tho were not entertaining
Everyone trashing him breaking the record probably never watched kobe 81. There is a reason these outputs dont happen often - the way to get to 70+ isn’t pretty.
Miami internationally fouled like 4 times in a blowout to get the ball back lmao. Slightly different endings in those two games
I mean Luka and Embiid’s 70 point games were really good. Especially Luka, only 33 shots and 16 FTA.
Kobe shot half as many free throws in a game that went down to the wire. What are you talking about
Kobe’s 81 was a great game. 63 of those points were FGs
He just did! 83 as of rn
Yeah wtf lol
These guys look at Kobe as if he was a living saint. They’ll never willingly break his records because they’d see it as “disrespectful.”
lol
Lmao even
wrong!
people have too much respect for Kobe unfortunately
they don’t want to break his record
Ehhh he’s jus cheesing and flopping now though
He did it!!
bam tieing the second highest scoring game was not on my 2026 NBA season list
There are at least 30 active players I would’ve guessed could do it before I got to Bam
I could’ve guessed like 100, I’m not even kidding. Obviously Bam is an all star level player and can score when he wants to and is aggresive but he’s always been more defenisve minded. I didn’t think Bam would ever have 50 in a game.
100 is way too many he’s 38th in PPG and I’d say a big has a better chance than most, some of the really bad teams just have players that don’t want to put their body on the line for a team that’s tanking. He’s probably like 30-35th for the best chance to do it.
He was 106th before tonight in career high. More telling than PPG
I know, but that’s never been his game. He can score, but he always seemed like a guy who would just get his 18-24 points and be happy with a win. He’s never been a high volume scoer and hasn’t ever really had big scoring games. I would’ve given a player like Jordan Clarkson a better chance to do it on a random night, as he’s a player who’s actively looking to score every time he touches the court. Obviously, Bam is a better scorer, but he’s never been the type to keep shooting and go for a big scoring game when hot.
Because it doesn’t cost your body much to defend Clarkson putting up 50 shots. it does to defend bam and whybhurt yourself when the team doesn’t want to win. There’s an inherent advantage for bigs.plus as we seen with doncic you can choose to double a guard and lose the game to prevent them scoring you can’t do the same to a big if they’re the tallest/strongest guy on the court.
100 is a bit hyperbolic but not far off. Bam has just never been that kind of scorer. He’s slow and steady, always good for maybe half a dozen 30 pieces every season. He’s only eclipsed 40 once up until now. I’d still be shocked obviously but maybe less shocked to see a microwave scorer like Collin Sexton on drop 70 on a night when all the starters were sitting or something.
106th before tonight of active players when looking at career high. Not hyperbolic at all. Only people making arguments because hindsight is on their side.
Because you’re ignoring that against the really bad teams players don’t want to hurt themselves for a team that wants to lose anyway.
You’re not going to get banged up playing against Sexton. The guy was getting open dunks when he had 70.
We seen with Doncic’s 73 point game as well guards are easier to double if you have no interest in winning the game anyway.
Nobody wants to get a 70+ piece dropped on em. Maybe it’s because he’s especially clownable in general but people still give Jalen Rose shit about the Kobe game.
His season high was also 32 before tonight. He’s a great consistent scorer, but he rarely goes for crazy volume
he’s 38th in PPG but that’s not considering the random bench guys who could light it up like Corey Brewer or Malachi Flynn. More guys of that mold have dropped 50 than guys like Bam
Just told my son. I think have named current 100 players, before bam, that I thought would score 80.
that more of ppl’s perception of bam and how much hes sacrificed his game for the team. his previous career high was 41 which was set years ago
It’s kinda lame that they couldn’t beat it because their coaches took them out. Spo is a real one for leaving him in.
Bam’s my guy and I would have never bet on this happening. But at the same time, they’re facing a tanking Wizards team and their only other active scorer is JJJ. No better game to go for this than one where 4 of your top 6 guys are out lol.
I think this also answers the question of if Wilt’s 100 point record is breakable, it is you just have to be alright with playing in a blowout and intentionally fouling on defense each possession. Which is how Wilt got the record anyway.
Wilt shot 31 free throws in his 100 point game. Bam shot 43 tonight. I think it had more to do with the fact that Wilt was playing against a team that had one guy taller than 6’6” and that guy averaged 5mpg over his 2 NBA seasons. That game in particular was some plumber shit.
The Heat were intentionally fouling I’m not talking about Bam’s free throws. Luka had 73 with like 10 free throws and about 15 less shots. If they had intentionally fouled the Hawks all 4th quarter he could have blasted the record but it was a tight game and the Hawks actually chose stopping Luka at the cost of the game.
Good, because he didn’t tie it
SO Spo for letting his guy cook.
The people’s coach.
He knows this shit might not ever happen again
Eat shit Mike McDaniel
The reverse Kerr
Honestly fuck Kerr for that.
Keep him in you cowards!
They did. Announcers said he was leaving but he’s still in and trying to score.
This makes Bamonte a first ballot HOFer for me, imo
MJ WHO? THIS THE MF GOAT
And he’s an Olympic golf medalist. I think he gets in.
Wizards helping Bam break Kobe’s record lol. Laughable game, they let this dude shot 41 fucking fts lol.
Heat also fouling to get back the possession lol.
They literally are not. They are triple teaming him and intentionally fouling other heat players so that he wont score.
They did that 1 time relax bud.
they did that shit as soon as he hit 79 and kept doing it lol
most petty hater shit ive ever seen, very entertaining
How many times did they do it? Go ahead mr I watched the game.
Cmon bruh they were triple teaming him the last 4 min of the game. That is some salty behaviour ngl.
Triple teaming him on the inbound and Heat were still trying to inbound it to Bam lmao
So many fouls are the wizards trying to help him????
He’s just flopping and the refs are getting caught up in it
It’s hard to tell because they are trapping him so he can’t score easily but then he just draws the foul and gets it anyway
if you asked to who could tie or break this record i could rattle off at least 200 players before even considering bam
I was here.
I WAS HERE
I WAS HERE TO WITNESS HISTORY!
Never thought this would happen 20 years after Kobe had his 81 point game. Wow!
Hello someone from 10 years from now 👋
SPO IS THE GOAT
JXMYHIGHROLLER GOTTA APOLOGIZE TO SPO
Only in Adam silvers NBA could bam adebayo tie this record, holy shit
[deleted]
Mo?
Why not break it boooooooo
Why not stay in…..
Exiting? They’re fouling each other to extend the game!
This is absurd. he getting fouled every time he touching the ball.
GOATED stuff
Why not go for 85???
Final moments is on some 2K shit when you’re trying complete a challenge with one player.
Bruh 43 free throws?
He channeled Embiid, Harden, Luka, SGA, Dani energy all in one night
HI GRANDKIDS! 👋
Grandpa was here like I told you!
Now give the wizards the first pick
Dude holy shit lol
Damn left after typing for Kobe
Subbing off is soft but I get why he did it, Kobe fanboys would be chirping him forever otherwise
He’s still in…
Old heads will never let us hear the end of this
Shaq punching the wall right now
“If I shot 84% from the line, I would’ve scored 84.”
i cant believe it. congrats Bam
This year is so random
Wow just wow
Spoelstra letting him try it is why he’s so great
I got nothing but respect for Bam. I wouldn’t have minded if he chose to break Kobe’s record.
Oh but he did
He wasn’t subbed out
Thank you coach Spo
THEY TOOK HIM OUT???
Just for a moment.
Fucking unreal
Bro had to one up Aja I guess
/s this is insane
Wiz should be dribbling out the clock.
he didnt exit
I WILL TELL MY CHILDREN WHAT I HAVE WITNESSED TONIGHT
Went back in and he broke it!
I saw someone on Twitter say “he’s gonna clock out at 45” lmao
Ok, folks. Calm down. This is obviously not true.
No one gets over 80 points, in the modern game.
Oh… wait…
https://www.espn.com/nba/matchup/_/gameId/401810793
I’m in tears. Our boy did it
As a Pistons fan I’m happy it was Bam if not a Piston
He’s one of the most universally liked guys around the league
Everybody loves Bam
Please continue to take care of our boy Duncan ♥️
We shall, beef stew will protect him, he’s our best shooter after all
LETS FUCKING GO BAMMMM MIAMI HEAT!!
HOLY FUCK LET’S GOOOOOOOO
LETS GOO
No disrespect to Bam here, he’s an incredible player but I didn’t think a sub 20 ppg guy was gonna be the one to do this.
fucking insane
Bam woke up and said ‘I’ll take the 2006 Kobe special, extra shots please.
This is the most random but impressive thing I’ve ever seen in the NBA
I’m sorry this is ridiculous, it’s not even basketball
LMAOOOOO y’all can’t do shit about it
Wtf?!
What in the world
Just wow
What the FUCK!
What is the end of this game?!? The Heat and Wiz are just taking turns shooting FTs.
The most ass 83 points ever.
83!!!! Yeaaahaaa
What happened to the game I love
So funny watching the wizards actively helping him get more free throws lol what a joke
Some dude on kalshi just became a millionaire
The Wizards need to be relegated for this.
Cheers Spo, I needed Bam over 85.
Damn he has 83 now
Saw Luka get traded last year and saw Bam beat Kobe’s scoring record… unbelievable
I thought its impossible to score more than 55pts in todays league????? Guess that youtuber was wrong huhhh
Wrong
What the fuck? What the fuck? 83 points? 43 FTs? BAM ADEBAYO????
What?.. Who?… Bam?!?… Apologies apparently I was unfamiliar with your game lmao
I mean if this isn’t an indictment on the current state of the NBA I don’t know what is.
Fook broke Kobe’s record. However, I’m not impressed by Bam’s record breaking feat. Team won by 20 already.
Fuck that foo
What the actual fuck is this statline
Seriously, it is a full moon out tonight.
Bro woulda had 90 if he made all his free throws 🤯
Remember when booker got the 70 and everyone talked shit
FT
Wizards - 29 Bam - 43 😳
Embarrassing for the wizards the heat bam the refs and spo for that last quarter wasn’t even basketball
43 FTA’s
43 fra did the clock go off or did the wiz run out of players that hadn’t fouled out?
Wizards can never run out of trash line ups to put out there
Imagine going to a random Wednesday night game against the wizards and you just happen to get to see history lmao
Bro went OFF. Beat the free-throw record made by 8 free throws. Super hard to score that much for the span of a whole game. Shows you how bad the Wizards are, too. Super random for a random March night.
BAM FOR MVP
Shit is literally fkn crazy damn good for him
Remember the game for the rest of our lives? No the hell we won’t what the fuck.
Kobe in his grave right now
Letting bam adebayo drop 83 on you is nuts
Insane.
I’m at work seeing this, can’t stop cheesing, never would’ve expected Bam to drop 83 points lol
By Any Means Adebayo with the modern NBA record for points. I wonder if this game is now going to be called “2nd most points in NBA history” rather than “most points in modern NBA” since it isn’t Kobe…
Shudnt hv broke the record shud hv just tied it RIP Kobe
Thats loser talk bro
MP*
Nah dawg. Refs, wizards, and bam got together to fix some bets. This is too much.
Fuck yes
NBA needs shit like this
Brother this is shameless and disgusting lol
fuck no
this isn’t basketball
NBA will get made fun of for this
