He only took 34 shots, and he almost hit a 70+ triple-double. It was really terrifying.

Second Kobe

Kobe’s single-game scoring miracle is probably known to many fans. Kobe once scored 81 points in a single game. This was also the highest score in a single game since the league had the three-point line. Although the Raptors were an underdog at the time, it was commendable that Kobe was able to score such high scores in that era.

The first Chamberlain

Chamberlain is the player with the most 70+ points in a single game in history.
