5 Current NBA Players Who Could Surpass Wilt Chamberlain\u2019s 100-Point Game<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

The NBA landscape has , prompting speculation about the possibility of a new record.<\/p>\n

That surge has not only raised eyebrows but has also redefined expectations.<\/p>\n

Between 1990 and 2004, a mere three NBA players achieved the 60-point milestone. However, the 2023-24 season saw multiple players hit and surpass that mark, with\u00a0Luka Doncic<\/span>\u00a0\u2018s staggering 73 points leading the charge.<\/p>\n

At this point, it\u2019s fair to wonder whether a player will eventually eclipse Chamberlain\u2019s record.<\/p>\n

The closest we\u2019ve seen to a player reaching that mark was\u00a0Kobe Bryant<\/span>\u00a0, who against the\u00a0<\/a><\/span>\u00a0in 2006.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve seen several 70-point games, but who\u2019s the most likely current player to hit 100?<\/p>\n

Donovan Mitchell<\/span>\u00a0stands out as an active player who came tantalizingly close to Chamberlain\u2019s historic 100-point performance on January 3, 2023, dropping an impressive 71 against the\u00a0<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Upon departing the\u00a0<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

for Cleveland, Mitchell found himself on a superior team with multiple offensive threats. This strategic move has the potential to consistently shift defensive attention fueling speculation that Mitchell could be gearing up to chase the Chamberlain points record<\/p>\n

At 27 years old,\u00a0\u00a0<\/a><\/span>sharpshooter\u00a0Devin Booker<\/span>\u00a0still has ample time to surpass his previous record, the third-best among active players, of 70 points.<\/p>\n

Although he achieved that mark back in 2017 (late in his second NBA season at age 20) in a loss against the\u00a0<\/a><\/span>\u00a0Booker now sits on the list with another scoring legend, teammate\u00a0Kevin Durant<\/span>\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Booker has proven to be a willing playmaker in the NBA, with a career average of 5.0 assists per game. He would either need to or be forced into becoming a more selfish shot-chucker, even for a night, to have a chance at hitting 100.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
