>83 points on 96 possessions vs 81 points on 74 possessionsThis is the fakest and gayest record of all time and purely a product of how retarded and perverted the game of basketball is now.
>>153818410cry about it nigga. It happened
How many "possessions" did Wilt have?
>>153818418It doesn't make it more impressive to anyone besides brainlets who are obsessed with bigger number without being able to see the context behind it.
>>153818434Wilt farmed a third string center on a tanking team and was fed the ball when he scored 100, and it's legendary. 83 is in the record books, wizards couldn't stop bam even triple teaming him
>>153818446>>153818419We're not talking about Wilt's games, we're talking about Kobe's which was played in the modern era in a game who's outcome was in doubt until mid way through the 4th quarter and didn't turn into a statpadfest to generate headlines for a sport that keeps losing popularity over shit like this.
>>153818468>which was played in the modern era in a gameTo be honest, calling 2006 the "modern era" is underselling how much the NBA has changed in that 20 year spanThere's been tons changes in regards to pace, spacing, and defensive rules, which caused a noticeable inflation in offensive stats Couple this with the fact that 1/3 of the league is tanking and you get shit like this
Almost reminds me of David Robinson's 71
>>153818434>contextUsing that word incorrectly. These are two different stats that mean two different things. Its weird that you're invoking points per possession to compare these two, but you selected Kobe as the comp based on the stat that your dismissing. Low IQ take, comically enough in an effort to call other people dumb.
>>153818410Anything above a 60 is rigged in some way and requires the cooperation of the opposing team, either willingly or because they’re resting players in a blowout. NBA refs will also absolutely call cheap fouls to boost stats so they can brag that ‘they were there’ in muh historic game.
>>153819391>Anything above a 60 is rigged in some way and requires the cooperation of the opposing team,some are legit, Joran's 63 points vs the Celtics in the playoffs was completely legit, look at the defence thrown at him, that dude couldn't breathe one second and he scored that much, GOAT shit
>>153819298>It means nothing that it took a game with 20 more possessions to score 2 more points
every one of those records were when the opposing team just rolled over on purpose, its the fucking whizzards
>WizardsI don't follow the NBA but this team has been complete shit for all long as I remember, they're in "league needs to step in" tierI thought the entire point of the draft is that teams like this would at least become decent through dumb luck
>>153819678The NBA draft is the most rigged of the major sports here.See:>Flagg to Dallas >Wemby to SA>Rose to Chicago>Cleveland getting multiple 1st picks in a row before LeBron returns
>>153818410>think back to Kobe's 81 point game>remember how many people said it was selfish and ridiculous>22 less possessions than Bam's performanceYea the NBA is cooked lol
>43 free throw attemptsthe NBA is such a joke. Why don't they stop pretending and just give 70 FTs next time to beat Wilt's record? they clearly don't give a fuck about fairness anymore. Make some gambler insanely rich.
>>153819678Half the teams in this league are in permanent tank mode.There are fucking 4 teams with a lower than 0.3 win pct right now and 8 lower than 0.4.The NHL and MLB both had 1 below 0.3 and 2 below 0.4, and both have more teams in the league too. It really is baffling how poorly run the NBA is right now.
How often, outside of autism like this, do people actually call scoring in basketball a "field goal"?
>>153819040I mean, modern era means "had a 3 point line" and "more than 50% of the players are actually full time athletes". Pre 80s neither of those things were true
>>153819391RARE FLAG
>>153818410Basketball has had any life or vitality sucked out of it by Niggers and Jews. I don't think even the degen gamblers trust it as much anymore.
Impressiveness Tier ranking:1. Kobe 812. Luka 733. Wilt 100
