[Russo] Bam Adebayo raised his season scoring average from 18.9 to 20.0 thanks to his 83-point outing this evening.
19 ppg player getting 80, yeah give that franchise to seattle
I would have picked 50 guys before I picked bam to break this
We got SGA, Joker, Luka, Giannis, Wemby, Ant but nah Bam is the one to score 80+ lol
I was box score surfing earlier while waiting for my dinner to cook and texted my friend about cam paynes 30 on 10 shots. I didn’t even check this box . I am so shocked lol
I don’t think I would’ve ever thought to check the box score until I saw an ESPN notification telling me Bam had 43 at halftime, started watching on and off, and stayed when he was close to breaking the Heat record set by Bron. I thought he’d sit the entire 4th after getting 62 but nope, played the entire 4th. Grinning ear to ear the entire time because this was genuinely so historic and the highest scoring game I’ve ever seen in my lifetime and probably will ever see.
Now watch someone like Ant or Cam Thomas go for 93 next week
Everyone is going to be lining up when they play the wizards now
Don’t forget cam Thomas
I could see this. Then he scores 5 for the next ten games.
Serious I think I could name another 25 on top of your 50.
I was trying to be nice. Just in skill set and playstyle he’s not someone you would ever guess.
I haven’t watched hardly any heat this year so idk if it’s different but he’s always just been an elite role player to me historically. Some games he doesn’t want to shoot and then that happens
Yeah. Honestly not even throwing shade. Scoring just isn’t why he is a great player.
No hate at all. Super happy for the kid.
I would’ve predicted freaking Klay before Bam
I would have picked more. If Malachi Flynn could get 50, theres plenty of chuckers that would have been more likely than bam.
I would’ve expected it from Cam Thomas before Bam
Everybody would’ve picked anybody to get 83 before Bam lol
I would have even picked the streaky shooting bench players before Bam
He’s probably the 3rd one you’d pick on his own team
Washington meet your new home, Washington
20 now lol
Drug test this man
Why would you want to punish Seattle by giving them the Wizards’ front office?
Genuinely wtf do you mean he scored 83 points
It cannot be true
Go back to 2014. Nothing can hurt you anymore
‘there’s no place like home. there’s no place like home.’
AI slop
It took me 3 minutes to understand the title on the first post I read about his scoring when he only beat Lebron’s Heat scoring record. The idea Bam could even touch that didn’t compute
Crazy he really could’ve had 90
If the wizards defended like they always do he would’ve broken Wilts too. They finally decided to play defense though lol
Most effort all year from the wizards after he got 70
They had mfs taking the hardest charges to stop this man from scoring
They were fouling anyone not named bam who touched the ball
The heat did start that by intentionally fouling to extend the game. After that it’s fair game imo.
Ya that was a bit shameless but also imo the wizards deciding they cared about pride and defense when he was close to the records is also lame and shameless. Either way crazy Bam is the one to break 81
This was the only way to break that kobe record and have it stop being a thing. I love it. The stigma of scoring 82 is gone. Bam adebayo has 83 and someone will definitely want to beat that record lol
That’s also how wilt got his 100
Never mind being 16-48, we can’t possibly let a guy get 80 lmfao.
WHY DID THEY START AFTER 70?????????
Triple teaming BAM from three lmao
IN THE BACKCOURT TOO BAHAHAH
seeing 4 nba players gang rape Edrice at his own baseline down 30 with a minute left was hilarious
Woah woah woah buddy…
One mf always gotta take it too far😭
Only against Bam though lmao
Unironically I think if they just let him shoot he would have scored less in the 4th
How? If he shot better?
The heat intentionally fouled the wizards after their full court pass turnover to extend the game. that was just under 2mins left. They could have started earlier and just kept going. I guess he could have got 90 possibly if they continued this from just above 1minute on after bam got 83. all 7 would have definitely come from FT attempts though.
Or if he just knocked down more of his threes
That falls under “he just shot better” like the dude I replied to said…
All the late game fouling to stop the clock. lol
More free throws, obviously
If we went 10⁄22 instead of 7⁄22 from 3
It was ridiculous at the end though, with a player even missing a foul shot on purpose to try and get him the rebound. And he was even in again the garbage time lineup.
Great accomplishment way before it got ridiculous and I will still respect that.
The locker room vibes are off the chart. Everybody rallying around him just shows how much they love and respect him
Makes me think 100 is possible. He went 7⁄22 on 3
Anthony Edward’s is taking this personally and getting to 100
100 babies or baby mamas?
Send da video
Yes.
Shit Luka not gonna be too far behind soon.
Luka is older and has 2 with 1 baby mama
Unless he starts doing cocaine or bath salts he aint catching up.
he finna shoot his shot 💦
100 babies and BM’s in 1 game
He’s aiming to break Wilts other record of sleeping with over 20,000 women
If he gets 100 baby mamas he automatically get 100 babies (at least 1 per mom). Easier to go for 100 babies with fewer women, but you never know
20001
Both!
we should have every star player just attempt that for the next week until it happens
I truly hope someone does actually take it personally! To see someone lock in and break this single record, that’s all I wish for.
Missed 7 FTs too. That’s 90 right there.
I mean he was well above his average at 84%. Him going 43 for 43 in a game would be more impressive than 90 points.
Plus he made all the last ones in a row, no misses then.
Fuck. A few 3s and a few free throws and he could have had 100
They probably would’ve pulled him the second he hit 83 but who knows
Missed 23 FGA too. Imagine if he made all 43 FGA. Left so many points on the table!
Klay coulda had 100 against the bulls one time for sure
you’ve commented this on every single post jesus christ
I wanna see Curry just chuck all 3s for a game.
Steve kerr would have sent him to the bench
It is but the coach must allow them to do it
lol he also made 36 free throws
Bam was still 17 points off 100.
The fuck you mean 100 is possible lmfao
Because he was super inefficient and still dropped 83?
“Super” inefficient might be a bit of a stretch here
Copying from above to illustrate: His box score at the half was 43 points shooting 54% and 45% from 3 with 14 free throws.
Bro, if the entire team tries to get you to 100 a lot of guys can get there. Bam shot 46% and 31% from 3. It wasn’t even that good of a scoring performance.
I doubt that tbh, you’d need to be incredibly hot to start then keep making free throws late. Most players don’t get as hot as Bam did to start the game, and maintaining an 84% rate on 43 fta especially late game is also a factor. Also add that a good portion of your shot diet needs to be 3s and you need a decent amount of luck in loose balls and calls
His box score at the half was 43 points shooting 54% and 45% from 3 with 14 free throws. That on its own is a good scoring performance and saying the whole performance is not because his percentages dropped a bit trying to force a record is laughable.
“It wasn’t even that good of a scoring performance” smh
It was one of the best 1st quarters of all time. After that he started gunning it for the record and went 10⁄27 and 2⁄15 and was baiting as much as possible to get 37 fts. It’s not that his percentages dropped, it’s that he had an incredible 1st quarter and the rest was a joke trying to get a record in a blowout which dropped his percentages.
Maybe
point is no team is going to do that because it ruins your chances to win the game, and most players can’t do that. if it was that easy, the mavs would have given luka a bunch of 100 point games.
Yeah but even if he went 50% and was 11⁄22 he’d be 5 points short, and he scored 36 from the line. Scoring 36 from the line is fucking insane. You take that down to even 25 which is a ton and he’s well short.
It’d be hilarious if some tanking team just tried to get their best player 100 points every single night out. I mean, they’d sell more tickets than they are now.
Wizards should just have trae young take 80 shots
It would be so incredibly funny to watch Trae go like 26⁄92 every night.
Knowing Trae it’ll be 6-72 FG and 50 FTAs
But then one night he goes 50⁄92 and drops like 115
would be hilarious if 100 has been possible the whole time but no team thought it was until now so they finally try to go for it
Make it more chaotic by having the record holder for the year receive the #1 pick in the draft. Not the team, but the actual player. So that you have Buzelis scoring 90, and then teams come up with outrageous trade offers before the draft.
MPJ would break the 100 point record
Bam got 76 points legitimately before they started feeding him late in the 4th so you would need somebody on the team who is able to score to that level
[removed]
The high throne of 2nd place lol
Wilt don’t count like Steph don’t count for 3 point records
i‘m not claiming it isn‘t but are all those wilt records even 100% documented
Eh, it s in a newspaper, that’s pretty good for the 60s.
If you look at what happened in the actual game it really shouldn’t count. The warriors were fouling throughout the 4th just to give wilt more scoring opportunities. Any team that tried thay nowadays would get clowned and no one would take the record seriously.
spurs flair david Robinson and the spurs literally did that to win the scoring title
spurs flair
david Robinson and the spurs literally did that to win the scoring title
A lot of the scoring title competition back then was pretty goofy IMO. The fact that you remembered to bring this up over 30 years later kind of proves my point.
But Wilts game was worse than that. My understanding was that they started fouling with a lot left to go in the fourth because the Knicks knew they were going for 100 and started running the clock out. If that happened today it would be pretty controversial.
Imagine if the Lakers kept Luka in during a blowout win against the Jazz after he dropped 70 in the first 3 quarters and they kept fouling with 5 minutes to go in the fourth pump him up to 100. It would still be impressive, but I think it would be pretty controversial and that game would always have an asterisk by it.
Idk, I think he started off hot, got 60-70 points early and they just decided to be part of history.
2nd place is 1st loser
The best thing to come out of this lmao
BAMBA MENTALITY
Mo Bamba: 😎
In before ban
Let’s go he probably hot as fuck looking up at Bam Rn.
Does anyone have the rapists reaction by any chance?
Just look down
Ya know the worst part about the Kobe stuff was the hypocrisy.
I thought it was the raping
Lmaoooo
Well, technically no…
Most Random career game ever
But congrats Bam
Casual 83 point game from a 18ppg player
Just next to Malachi Flynn’s 50 piece
Yah you could even argue Brandon Jennings 50 point game in his like 5th ever game was more random, especially at the time.
Kobe stans 9⁄11
I hate them
The “he didn’t need the FTs” argument is already burning up keyboards across the country.
Good
Rapists shouldnt be celebrated
Buckets are buckets g
Not anymore lmaooooooooo
Really funny to see the Lakers fans in the other threat so upset.
need to have that rapists other records topped 🙏
someone drop 62 on their last game pls
Just checked…. He had 43!!!! Free throw attempts.
wtf is that
Wizards started to triple him.
Very unserious game, not like Bam was making everything lol
He pretty much was making everything in the 1st quarter, he had 30-something in the 1st. Then he slowed down but still scored mostly legitimately in the 2nd to finish the half with 40-something.
After the half the Wizards started just throwing themselves at him to prevent shot attempts.
10⁄16 in the first, 10⁄27 the rest of the way excluding the absolute deluge of fouls. Just an absolutely stupid game of NBA basketball lol
Wizards were very mad they couldn’t guard him and that they were being bullied by him. They could have just let him take tough shots and he probably doesn’t even get the record. But Bam was out here playing like his life depended on it.
I mean that’s more than the atoms in the universe
i watched the whole fourth quarter with a big ass smile on my face bro
Just GOAT things
Lebron called this 83 point game. He said at the beginning of the night bam might go for 70. Then he called 80.
83 on 46% from the field and 32% from 3 is diabolical.
Why don’t NBA players just do this every game?
Holy shit I thought this was troll post at first
How many more 80 point games does Bam need to get his ppg to 25?
4.98 games if he continued to score 83
(1,161+(83x))/(58+x)=25
Why doesnt bam do this everyday? There’s still time to go for the scoring title
Ethical ball
ERIK SPOELSTRA IS THE GOAT COACH FOR THIS
🏀 Kobe’s best: 81. 😴
🏀 Jordan’s best: 69. 😴
🔥 Bam tonight: 83. 👑
F*ck your GOAT debates. 🗑️ We have a new GOAT. 🐐
Made in his honor 🙏
$BAMCOIN 🐐🔥💎

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
Classic Reddit, making Bam’s big game about Kobe lol
One less Kobe Accolade for that demon. Let’s go
The stans who harp about Kobe having the record for most points in a game “with footage” are absolutely shook tonight.
Kobe is so proud watching from below 🙏
Imagine if Shai got 22 3 pt attempts, 43 fg attempts, and 43 fg attempts. Bro would have scored 120.
The picture in picture handshake cam tho.
ALL NBA
Now all he has to do is avoid hotels in Colorado and helicopters.
Oh
Fun fact both Kobe and Bam entered the 4th Q with 62 points. Phil sat Kobe for the 4th Q against my beloved Mavs:
https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/kobe-highest-scoring-games-vs-mavericks
34 days later he detonated for 81
Reality is an illusion.
Wizards really let a sub 20 ppg player score 83 on them lmao
Sarr had probably the worst defensive performance from a big in NBA history. Bro was just following Bam around waiting for his turn to get the ball.
Suddenly he wins the MVP.
All this game showed is that spo is the goat for letting him play the game out. Showed them other pussy ass coaches who take players out during career games. Bams game wasnt even that efficient. This record will be broken again this season
Damn I thought this shit was fake when I first seen it
Dude scored 4x his average wth
did he surprise kobe? or surpass?
What a weird fucking sentence
If you would’ve told me yesterday that Adebayo could break Kobe’s records, I would’ve laughed at your face. Now look at this. Sell the Wizards to Seattle
He’s definitely getting a statue.
and he’s played about 60 games this season too 😭
I would love for every team now to just nominate one player when they play the wizards to go for 100
To go a full point in a game this late in the season is crazy
We all gonna remember where we were
that reminds me of when TJ Warren’s bubble run (31 ppg for 6 games) bumped him up from 18.7 ppg to 19.8 ppg on the season
and when Dame’s bubble run (37.6 ppg for 8 games) bumped him up from 28.9 ppg to 30.0 ppg on the season
This may be my favorite fact ever
him scoring 83 while averaging 18.9 ppg….
Jesus christ
