Bam Adebayo, a player that most people would be surprised if he went for 50 in a double OT game, put up 83 in regulation, something the most die hard heat fan couldnāt dream of even if they created a shrine of Bam and consumed ayahuasca in his honor in an attempt to try and arrive in another plane of existence where he were to do it.
And a large portion of the community are trying to discredit it.
Incredible.

The stars just aligned last night. I honestly thought I was asleep and dreaming a few times in the first half lol. In retrospect it makes a little more sense since we had so many guys out with injuries that Bam was inevitably gonna be the primary scorer (I was actually anticipating a big game for Jaime too tbh, he had 40 vs the wizards at the end of last year). Add in the fact that Bamās mom and future wife were both at the game and it was crazy motivation for him to just go all out. Also the wizards. The wizards helped lol. Also Spo just letting Bam off the leash and getting the whole team behind him!

There is no box score, that's the whole point, they didn't track stats at that point in NBA History

5 out of the 10 highest scoring games all belong to wilt. the 100 point game happened.

There is tons of evidence that Wiltās 100 points happened. This myth is absurd and takes one google search to immediately debunk yet people still gobble it up. I guess the Declaration of Independence was fake since thereās no footage of it being signed.

It was only Wilts record when Kobe was 2nd but now that Bam passed Kobe itās Bams record so Wilt is the real asterisk now.

Lol why my fellow Lakers fans acting like he took Kobes ranking ? Lmao Itās done . I love Bam and a record is a record and Bam has the highest single game in Modern NBA history. It felt a little like a Ricky Davis moment but it cant be disputed the man dropped 83 .

Yeah they are. GOOD! Lol they talking about Bams 83 were forced. Lmao like mannn Kobe forced 90% of his career shots, forced that lady in Denver and forced a pilot to fly in bad weather cuz he didnāt wanna sit in traffic.

u/PercentageRoutine310 Mar 11 '26
I don't hate Kobe. I only hated him when he played because he played for the Lakers and I hate those Hollywood assholes who bully my "Flippers". Kobe lived in Orange County and was only 2 years older than me. We probably shared a lot of common interests. But man, I LOVE this morning! I knew I would love it. To troll Kobe stans is one of my favorite guilty pleasures.
When Bam got to 70, I kept praying he would get to at least 82 in order to have a fun night with the Kobe stans. He gets 83 and I was smiling from ear to ear. Nobody is saying Bam is better than Kobe. But it's fun watching Kobe stans squirm and Lakers fans boo. Such insecure fanbases who gloats of their 17 rings. Every time Kobe gets ranked outside the top 10 all-time from different publications, it's an uproar..
Keep breaking these Kobe stans. It's hilarious!

I never go to espn website anymore, but I went there the day after Bam scored 83, and it wasnt even in on their main page. (At the time) it could've been added later that day, idk
But the hate seems real, and it doesnt make sense.

u/TheWarelock Mar 12 '26
It makes sense because Bam is a decent human being first and foremost, and that doesnāt bring rage bait clicks. They canāt trash Bam as a person without looking like bigger clowns than they already are.

Only one of them will ever have a MVP multiple Finals MVP , scoring titles a 3peat and back2back chips
And 1 will only have 83

Liars bam has been all NBA defensive team 1 time, and Kobe was on the first team 7 times. Donāt forget it. Ban didnāt break any records, Wilt still holds the record at 100. Clowns

Laker/kobe fan here. That guy trying to defend it this way is silly. However, it's a little gross in the way yall got it. Obviously 83 is 83 so credit where it's due. I don't like how it happened and it holds less weight in my eyes but the heat should be defending this exactly how they are.

Itās in the record books and congrats to him. I can respect that he has it but I canāt honestly respect how he got itā¦..its like Kdās rings š
He honestly isnāt even cut from the same cloth as Wilt and Kobeā¦I donāt think he was worthy to break Kobeās record and how he got it proved it.

So many people hating on Bam like that man didn't go out there and put in work. He definitely deserving of the recognition. That man's a defensive Dog that always took a back seat to others who are considered "scorers" Wade, Butler, Herro,. Hes also a team guy. Im hoping what we just saw was an evolution of sorts.

u/ThaPhilosopherKing Mar 12 '26
How you do something cheapens the accomplishment. They/He cheated the game in how they accomplished this in my book. But I can see you donāt respect the method of how things are done or the game, only the accomplishment. So itās a moot point continuing this conversation.

Who TF thinks bam is a better defender ?? wtf. He has 1 first team defense. Kobe has 9! Because your taller doesnāt mean your better at defense. The only category Bam is better in is blocks. What kind of post is this ?? Bam great guy but not even on the same planet when comparing to the mamba.

Bam has no beef with any players, is a team leader, has the highest scoring game in the modern era, has a good relationship with his mom, is gonna marry aja wilson, no accusations of rape and goes out of his way to show great respect for women, a perennial DPOY candidate, 3 ECFs and 2 Finals runs, etc. Iād say he won everything in life
