Who is the all-time leader in points scored in an NBA game? On the all-time list, which also includes Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant, Wilt Chamberlain is in the lead. See who else among the players made the all-time list.
Few would contest that the first and most crucial metric to determine an NBA player’s dominance during a game is points scored. However, there are other ways to gauge it as well.
Performance is measured in points, and only a select handful have ever scored 60 points or more in a regular-season game.
Wilt Chamberlain, who scored 100 points for the Philadelphia Warriors against the New York Knicks in 1962, now holds the record for most points in an NBA single-game.
The famous player appears on the list of scorers who have scored more than 60 points an astounding 32 times. He was a prolific bucket-scorer during his time.
Other equally well-known basketball players also appear in the final one several times.
Michael Jordan is featured four times, while the late Kobe Bryant appears six times, his 81-point performance against the Toronto Raptors in 2006 giving him second place.
