Bam Adebayo scores 83, passes Kobe Bryant for second most in a game in NBA history: Wilt. Bam. Kobe.

That is now the order for the top-scoring games in NBA history as — out of nowhere — Miami's Bam Adebayo dropped 83 points in Miami's blowout win over Washington Tuesday night.

If you told me someone was going to surpass 81 this season I wouldn't have any problem whatsoever believing you.

Bam wouldn't have been in my first 50 guesses of who would do it, though. Good on him!

The most startling thing is the 40 or so he scored in the first half.

And how many times he went to the line, which is insane.

Someone ought to review the props betting lines for that game to see if there are any unexplained anomalies.
