Los Angeles Lakers star Luka Doncic was asked during NBA All-Star Weekend if he could ever score 100 points in a single game, a feat only accomplished by Wilt Chamberlain. Doncic, who has scored 73 points in a game before, dismissed the idea, saying "Scoring 73 was a lot; felt like every shot went in. But scoring 100, it's just too much."

Why it matters

Doncic is one of the NBA's most prolific scorers, but even he recognizes the immense challenge of reaching the 100-point milestone, which has stood for over 50 years since Wilt Chamberlain accomplished the feat. Doncic's comments provide insight into the mindset of elite scorers and the difficulty of achieving such a rare and historic accomplishment.

The details

Doncic, 26, has already racked up over 10,000 career points in the NBA, showing he is on pace for historic numbers. He has had multiple 30-point, 40-point, and even a 73-point game during his career, the latter of which came with the Dallas Mavericks in January 2024. However, Doncic believes scoring 100 points in a single game is simply too much, even for a scorer of his caliber.

The takeaway
