Scorers. They rule the NBA. They shoot more. They score more. They get paid more. Their moves are copied on playgrounds. Coaches design game plans around them. They sell more jerseys. Win or lose, they get mentioned in the post-game wrap-ups and media accounts. They take the shots with the game on the line. Over time, the league rules have been modified to protect them. Some would suggest the referees protect them, too. So they go to the free-throw line more.
And they’re more likely to be inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Massachusetts. There’s even a line of demarcation on the court that can help them post even larger scoring totals.
Take a few minutes to go through this quiz which focuses on some of the top individual single-game scoring performances in professional basketball history, several of which were accomplished without the assistance of that aforementioned infernal three-point line.
Good Luck!
