Donovan Mitchell has recently made it onto this list because of his outstanding performance for the Cleveland Cavaliers against the Chicago Bulls. Who else is already in it? Have a look below:

NBA fans would be shocked to learn that relatively few players in league history have scored 70 or more points. Surprisingly, Michael Jordan and LeBron James, the GOATS of the game are not on the list. The King once scored 61 points, and Jordan came close with a career-high 69.

That defines how challenging it is to score 70 points in the NBA. Following that, here is a list of athletes who managed to score more career-high points than Michael Jordan did in one single NBA game.

Wilt Chamberlain is the first player in league history to have several games with 70 points, according to the stats. He has six in all, which includes the memorable 100-point performance. Kobe Bryant is the next-highest scorer in NBA history. Some followers may recall the display he made in 2006 against the Toronto Raptors. One could have never witnessed a performance quite like this one.

Talking about modern basketball, in 2017 Devin Booker defeated the Boston Celtics by scoring 70 points. He became the youngest player in history to score this many goals by doing it at the age of only 20. To help his team defeat the Chicago Bulls, Donovan Mitchell managed to score 71 points. Mitchell also has 10 assists added to this remarkable statline, which makes him the only player on this list with that many.

All of this demonstrates the NBA’s expansion, as well as its incredible potential and promising future. In the following years, we want to see this list expand.
