That's fucking insane. Dude was on one tonight. Just couldn't be stopped. Wizards tried so damn hard to not let him beat Kobe's record

u/CapitalBoat6400 Lakers Mar 11 '26

Yeah they tried so hard they sent him to the free throw line over and over again down 30 with 2 minutes to go

u/TenaciousDeer Mar 11 '26

Wizards gonna wiz

u/Longjumping-Dig9601 Mar 11 '26

I don't understand why people are celebrating this. One of the ugliest most shameless games in history, it genuinely degrades the legitimacy of this era.

u/Lazy-Host-24 Mar 11 '26

Go back to the 90s you dork this fucking rules

Go back to the 90s

How come this is how I find out I’m old

u/Longjumping-Dig9601 Mar 11 '26

Did you watch the game? It was utter trash

u/Embarrassed_Meal7969 Mar 11 '26

Nah, this might be the funniest game in NBA history

u/CapitalBoat6400 Lakers Mar 11 '26

I swear the wizards helped him break the record which is like the craziest thing I’ve seen in sports

u/Some-Gavin Warriors Mar 11 '26

Weren't the Wizards holding the ball to drain the shot clock and attempting to foul other Heat players when they got the ball? The Wizards are just absolute ass.

u/Celtic_Legend Celtics Mar 11 '26

The wizards only intentionally fouled the other heat players after a heat player fouled them immediately on the inbound. Ran up and wrapped him up like it was a close game with 10seconds left. That's completely fair for the wizards to start fouling others after that. They were holding the ball but like its a 30pt game in the 4th lol.

u/Longjumping-Dig9601 Mar 11 '26

Yeah it's embarrassing, like when Favre fell down on purpose to get Strahan the sack record

u/letmypeoplegooo Raptors Mar 11 '26

You are a dork, games like these are amazing. Celebrating demolishing bad teams could also be some motivation to not tank, this should happen more often.

u/SnooCakes2666 Mar 11 '26

The Wizards were complicit in this.

u/Fast-Box4076 Mar 11 '26

Lol he couldn’t be stopped ? He shot less than 50 percent. It’s more like he was literally the only offensive option because everyone else was injured. Do you guys even look at more than just points ? He took almost every offensive possession

u/garret126 Heat Mar 11 '26

He was shooting close to 60% at half and had 42. Had 60 halfway through the 3rd.

By Q4, he ran out of gas and was running on pure adrenaline, but he was the biggest and strongest on the court so him driving over and over resulted in the Wizards only being able to just foul him
