Luka Doncic!!! He really wanted to break the post Kobe scoring record held by Devon Booker and he pulled it off tonight. WOW. 73 points and a victory. Between Joel Embiid’s performance earlier in the week and now this you have to wonder if this signals a bit of a change in how defenses are defending stars. Will anyone ever break Wilt’s mark?

I didn't watch the game, and I thought that it happened on the home court of the Mavericks, but when I saw a video on Facebook, and in that video, I saw that it happened on the Hawks' home court, I wonder what the GM of the Hawks is thinking now that they traded Luka for Trae Young. Cheesy

Anyway, the father-and-son duo of Luka, and Booker made history as they're the 5th players to score more than 60+ points in a single game. Just a few weeks ago, we saw KAT and Embiid doing it. Luka's 73 point is tied on the 4th spot (3 scored 73 points, 2 is from Wilt, and the other is a player named David Thompson). Well, it seems like the league really is changing, and focusing more on offense more than defense.

Now the big question is, will there be a time where the scoring record of 100 points of Wilt Chamberlain be broken? TBH, it's hard to answer knowing that the players right now are just a few points away from beating the late Kobe's scoring record of 81, but IMO, they can't do it. Too high, and too far though there is a factor that can help a player reaching 100 points and that is if the game go to overtime. Kobe's record of 81 is reachable, and I will not be surprised if it will get surpassed this season just by looking on how high the points of teams are right now.

It was certainly an impressive performance by Luka, just like the performance by Booker and the recent performances by Embiid and KAT. But every time I see some top players scoring 50/60/70+ points a game, I wonder what the hell their opponents were doing on defense throughout the game. Huh

As for that Wilt Chamberlain record, I also think it's out of reach for current players.
