Bam Adebayo had a pretty good Tuesday night.
The former Kentucky star laced up his sneakers in front of the Miami Heat home crowd and did something only 1 man has ever done in NBA history.
What did he do? Well, he just surpassed Kobe Bryant’s second-place record for most points in a single game in NBA history, dropping 83 points against the hapless Washington Wizards.
Kobe, of course, scored 81 points back in 2006. Now, slightly more than 10 years later, Adebayo has moved past the legendary Bryant with an 83-point outing.
BAM BREAKS KOBE'S 81-POINT RECORD AND SCORES 83!THE SECOND-MOST IN NBA HISTORY AFTER WILT pic.twitter.com/XnOrMCat56
— SportsCenter (@SportsCenter) March 11, 2026Of Adebayo’s 83 points, 36 came from the free-throw line. He went 36-of-43 from the charity stripe.
Adebayo helped the Heat earn a blowout 150-129 win over Washington. The Wizards are clearly tanking to get a better draft pick, while the Heat are fighting to get up to the No. 6 seed in the East so they can avoid the Play-In Tournament. Still, this was an incredible showing from Adebayo.
However, he was still 17 points behind Wilt Chamberlain’s all-time record, once again underscoring just how insane that game was for the NBA legend.
