The NBA has developed a history of more than 70 years, and top scorers emerge in endlessly, such as Jordan's career 10 scoring champions, the active Durant has also been 4 times, and he is the player who has won the most scoring titles among active players, even if he is as strong as Durant, he has never scored 60 points in a single game in his career, and the highest score is only 54 points, which is really unexpected, but since the development of the NBA, there are very few players who can score 60 points in a single game, and players who can score 60 points 4 times in their careers, There are only 5 players and only 2 active players, so let's take a look at which top scorers can achieve this achievement!

Harden 4 times

Harden, as a super all-round scorer, is the type of guard that many championship teams dream of, among which Harden's most glorious moment is the Rocket period, Harden in the Rocket period has a big package, scoring is like picking up a bag, and he has won three scoring titles, and his scoring ability belongs to the super level in the active NBA guards, the most impressive thing is that game against Magic, Harden played a career night performance, slashing 60 points on the court, and also had 10 rebounds and 11 assists, Got the first 60+ triple-double in NBA history. Harden also scored 60 points at the Knicks' home court, becoming the first player since Kobe Bryant to score 60 points in the Madison Square Garden arena.

Jordan 4 times

Jordan is known as the "God of Basketball", mainly because Jordan's basketball career is too dazzling, leading the team to the finals 6 times, 6 times all champions, 100% of the finals winning rate, and the personal scoring ability is extremely good, a total of 15 seasons in his career, including 10 scoring titles, it can be said that the vast majority of Jordan's career is a strong contender for the scoring champion, the record of 10 scoring champions is almost unsurpassed, but the score is as strong as Jordan, and the number of 60+ times in a single game in his career is only 4 times, But it's all a classic battle, Jordan's first 60+ career was in the playoffs against the experienced Celtics, then only 23-year-old Jordan slashed 63 points, even the trash-talking Bird couldn't help but praise: God wore the No. 23 jersey today.

And Jordan's career single game high score is 69 points, in a game against the Cavaliers, the Cavaliers became Jordan's background board, Jordan scored all over the court, no matter how to prevent it, in the end, Jordan also slashed 69 points to win the Cavaliers, it is worth mentioning that the Cavaliers often become the background of Jordan's career night, and later the famous "The shot" was obtained on the Cavaliers' head.

Lillard 5 times

Lillard, as the soul of the Trail Blazers, has now joined the Bucks for the championship dream, but Lillard's 5 60+ career times were obtained by the Trail Blazers. Lillard's scoring explosion is extremely terrifying, often in the game to hit a series of three-pointers, the opponent can't prevent it at all, Lillard also scored 60+ performances 5 times, the most classic of which is the 22-23 season Lillard led the Trail Blazers in the game against the Rockets exploded 71 points and hit 13 three-pointers.

In this game, Lillard was full of firepower in the first half, feeling hot, and scored 41 points alone, although in the third quarter, the Rockets adjusted their defensive strategy, and Lillard only scored 9 points, but at the end of the quarter, Lillard regained his touch, 21 points in the final quarter, and 71 points to lead the team to win the game, the fans stood up and shouted MVP, James posted a message to celebrate after the game, and Garnett said that Lillard's 41 points in the half seemed to be not sweating! With this 71-point performance, Lillard tied the record for the most points scored by an active player.

Bryant 6 times

Kobe Bryant, as one of the superstars in NBA history, can be called a scoring machine, not to mention that Kobe Bryant's era is a period when NBA defense is more intense, if Kobe Bryant is in today's small-ball era, I think it should be okay to average 35 points per game, and the number of career 60+ points is more than 6 times, at least 10 times. Kobe Bryant's first career 60+ game was obtained in the Lakers' game against the Mavericks, when O'Neal had already traveled east, and the Lakers only left Kobe Bryant to support him, facing the Mavericks, Kobe Bryant scored 62 points in the third quarter, and one person scored more than the Mavericks' entire team, not to mention that he did not play in the fourth quarter, and if he played, the score would be 70. Soon after scoring more than 60 points for the first time, Kobe Bryant ushered in the strongest battle of his career, facing the Raptors at home, when the score was once behind by 18 points, Kobe Bryant, who did not admit defeat, stood up and started the offensive mode, scoring 81 points in the game, which is the second highest score in NBA history and the first highest score in modern basketball.

Later, at Madison Garden, Bryant scored 61 points, setting a new record for the highest scoring in this arena. It is worth mentioning that in Kobe's retirement battle, in the face of the Jazz, Kobe Bryant left a swan song, scoring 60 points to lead the team to turn the tables, and Kobe Bryant also used this classic Kobe-style game to leave a strong mark on his career.

Chamberlain 32 times

Chamberlain, as the god of the NBA in ancient times, can be called a record harvester, Chamberlain won 60+ 32 times in his career, in the early NBA where the rules were not perfect, Chamberlain's ability was dominant, and the miracle of a single game slashing 100 points may be difficult for anyone to break in the future, not only that, but he also got 70+ 5 times, which is unprecedented, in today's small ball era of data explosion, it is not very easy to get 60+ points, not to mention that Chamberlain personally got 32 times, I'm afraid this record is going to be sealed.
