In the 75-year history of the NBA countless players have passed through the courts of the best basketball in the world, but only a few had the honor and privilege of going down in history as the top two scorers in a game by reporting more than 80 points.
It is about two true NBA legends: Wilt Chamberlain y Kobe Bryant, the two players who scored the most points in the history of the league in a game when signing up 100 and 81 units, respectively. A brutality!
Chamberlain was the first to do so with a majestic performance by 100 points on March 2, 1962 in the Philadelphia Warriors victory over the New York Knicks 169-147. The historic night of the NBA legend had him with 36 of 63 two-point shots and 28 of 32 from the 3-point range.
