The 43 free throw attempts is downright hilarious 😭

Legitimately who would’ve expected it LMAO

Oh look at me, I’m Bam Adebayo. I dethroned Kobe for the 2nd most points scored in a game and I clock out and go home to A’ja Wilson.

Fuck you Bam

Future kids gonna be who??? lol

i knew that 9yo in my grocery store in north carolina would do it someday

The most random player to do it and I kinda love it

On under 50% FG is diabolical though, first even 70+ with sub 50% fg

It is the worst basketball I have ever seen in my life. But it’s also a record.

Wizards fouling other players, triple teaming Bam, Miami fouling Wizards players

I don’t care, Bam deserves this

It’s really funny to score 83 points and not even record a double double

Malachi Flynn 50 point game ass statline

Hopefully Spo letting him play and feeding him is a catalyst for other players being allowed to do the same thing in more regular season blowouts.

I just said what the fuck about 5 or so times when I saw the headline as I went to a different app to look at the box score. It broke my brain for a minute. I seriously didn’t believe it.

“When I saw he had 2 points in the 1st quarter I thought well he might as well go for 83”

“Once I saw him hit that free throw for point 82, I knew he was breaking Kobe’s record”.

tbf he started pretty from 3 but then he kept shooting them trying to break the record.

He was insanely hot in the first and they just decided to give him the ball all game after that

2k statline

So also most ethical 83 point game we’ve ever seen

I’d argue that “garbage time” here was way harder for him to score than the first 3 quarters. They literally full court pressed him with a triple team when he had 70+

36-43 FTs is fucking insane lmao

which also mean its the most ethical 83 point game you have ever seen

Spo offensive challenge had me dying

Deliberately feeding Bam when he was getting doubled and tripled was hilarious. If the Heat weren’t already up by 20 it would have been awful

Spo looked like he was… having fun with it? I’ve never seen him like that. Pretty funny stuff.

I sent 15–20 texts to my group of friends who don’t give a fuck about nba. Hell I hardly do anymore. But the progress of the game was impossible not to laugh at (I was enjoying ftr).

“Now whenever Bam passes, the wizards intentionally foul but the heat are chucking their free throws at the front of the rim” was my favorite update.

The escalating pettiness battle between Spo and the Wizards was absolutely hilarious basketball. ¹⁰⁄₁₀ way to spend a Tuesday evening.

I was crying in laughter. It was the most shameless stat padding I think I have ever seen ever

43 free throws

that is fuckin insane

43 FTs is crazy lmao

Most FTs ever

The Ravens just backed out

imma wizards ravens fan punching air rn

That first quarter where he scored 30 was otherworldly

Bam’s taken so much shit on our sub the last 2 years.

So happy for him. Spo is the GOAT for this.

I would probably say at least 20 current players before him tbh. What a crazy game.

Do not care what anyone says, this is the most absurd thing to happen in this sport. Absolutely no one with a functioning brain or a literal peanut brain would ever suggest Bam would be the first one to score more than 81 LMAO

The biggest statpadding game in NBA history and I fucking love it.

3 whole assists lol

Intentionally fouling the wizards to feed bam LMAOOOOO

Bro is in the game chucking up shots up 30

Does he like, get into the hall of fame for this?

how did he go to the line that many times? were the wizards trying to kill him?

Perfectly balanced as all things should be

What’s fucking funny is they scored 129 points lol.

Right. There’s tanking and then there’s this.

The NBA would never fake a 100-point game for a black man in the 60’s

People gonna be scouting their kid in kindergarten

His mom crying at the end was great. So happy she was there to see it!

Their kid is going to be wilt reincarnated 

This dude just surpassed Kobe and then gets to go home to A’ja Wilson. Life ain’t fair

Me too. So fucking glad a coached finally realized going for records when the possibility is there matters and is clearly worth going for

Including free throws this man just shot the ball 86 times

The hoes won’t remember the shame in 10 years.

I was howling when they started intentionally fouling to get him the ball.

Sometimes we need some sickos to push the boundaries of ball. I salute Spo and Bam for this affront

Spoelstra put on a clinic on how to buff a guys stats up

83 points 9 rebounds is an insane statline

It was but I support it

yeah I mean he played an entire quarter of stat padding tonight lmao

Kobe’s 81 and Luka 73 on 33 shots clear this by a mile I fear and yes I’m being a hater

The non meme answer is that he started off really hot and then the wizards started to get pretty aggressive with him. Towards the end of the game they were just hacking him every time he drove or triple teamed him anytime he caught the ball.

Next time his new career high will be 166

Because it was. Good on spo for letting him chase it though

The most inefficient 80 point game I’ve ever seen!

After what I just saw, anything can happen
