Today is the 50^th anniversary of Wilt Chamberlain’s 100-point game, which is scored by a single player in an NBA game. Many scorers have tried to beat his record but it seems the closest one is only 81 points by Kobe Bryant in 2006.

It seems to be impossible that no one in NBA will ever reach the century mark. 19 points away from Wilt, Kobe, believes that someone will reach that magical 3 digits scores.

 “I think in time that day will come. Somebody will do it, eventually it’s going to happen,” said Bryant, who is the same rank as those legendary players like Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson.

The record of Wilt Chamberlain’s 100 point game was not caught on tape and media photographer of him in action. The only picture they have is Wilt holding up a sign with 100 stated in Sixers’s locker room.

It will be fast burning hot issues in the sport world if the video of 100 point game exist. If Kobe is right about there will be a player to beat up 100 point record, it will be a historical moment in NBA.

To score 3 digits requires a lot of training and support from people around the world. Chamberlain’s night was not cherished as because of smaller media demands, but if it happens again in this era, highlights will be in every cover page of the entire sport media world and videos will be replaying countless times.

Big scores of 81 points on that January night were definitely an astonishing moment and his scores seemingly to be an ‘untouchable’ record.
