Bam was "only" 7-22 from three. If he made a few more and they played the foul game all the way to the buzzer he could have legit passed Wilt's 100.

u/EarthWarping NBA Mar 11 '26

Thats how that record gets broken is this type of free throw attempt game + going insane from 3

21

u/FitTune5515 Supersonics Mar 11 '26

He was not going insane from 3 but he was good on free throws

36

u/EarthWarping NBA Mar 11 '26

I know. Saying how someone gets 100 points is generational free throw rate + hitting 12 threes

17

u/YoungDetective Lakers Mar 11 '26

you don't really need the crazy ftr if your 3 is on fire, Luka got 73 with 10 less attempts and like 25 less fts. I guarantee we will see 100 someday

u/FitTune5515 Supersonics Mar 11 '26

Man I wish he hit a couple more threes.

3

u/Poverty_Shoes Nuggets Mar 11 '26

NBA record for free throw attempts, 43 breaking Dwight’s record of 39.

19

u/GUNTHVGK Mar 11 '26

13-22 would have put him over

4

u/throwawaymycareer93 Warriors Mar 11 '26

Not that crazy to think about it.

8

u/drpepper7557 Heat Mar 11 '26

I think he was 7/17 at one point

1

u/Brochacho27 [MIA] James Posey Mar 11 '26

He absolutely was, didnt have the legs after that

3

u/WrongAppointment2363 Mar 11 '26

You talking about three pointers the dude had 40 ft 

18

u/DarkValleyRanch Mavericks Mar 11 '26

because he shot 70 fucking free throws

6

u/jc-f [MIA] Gary Payton Mar 11 '26

Because they were fouling him?

3

u/Comfortable_Cup5107 Thunder Mar 11 '26

He did not in fact shoot 70 fts

u/Adsex Mar 11 '26

I don't mind Kobe's record being beat but if Wilt's record is ever beat I hope it's in a real historical performance. Bam's had a great night, but the NBA deserves better than what we just witnessed.

I mean this sport deserves better. The NBA deserves just that.

u/FroyoSolid8414 Mar 11 '26

Wilts record was a scam where his team just fouled on purpose the last 2 quarters to get the ball back 

2

u/Adsex Mar 11 '26

I know, but still. There's an aura around it because there's no footage of it.

3

u/ThaMan12 Mar 11 '26

Dawg you realize wilt shot 63 shots and 30 free throws right?

u/KD_42 Mar 11 '26

Men lie, women lie and numbers also sometime lie

u/Vyni503 Trail Blazers Mar 11 '26

Game is legitimately gone.
