Bam Adebayo Breaks Kobe's Record by Scoring 83 Points
On Monday night, a former Kentucky Wildcat made history when Shai Gilgeous-Alexander tied Wilt Chamberlain’s record with his 126th consecutive game of 20+ points. Bam Adebayo wasn’t going to let SGA have all the fun.
In the middle of Conference Championship Madness in college basketball, Bam became the biggest story in basketball. Playing against the woeful Washington Wizards, the former Kentucky forward caught fire with the Miami Heat.
Bam Adebayo scored 83 points in the win over the Wizards. He surpassed Kobe Bryant’s 81-point milestone, a modern record set in 2006. Adebayo is now second to only Wilt Chamberlain, who scored 100 points in 1962.
