Damian Lillard's impressive performance of scoring 71 points (including 13 three-pointers) has sparked discussions on whether he or any other NBA player of the modern era has what it takes to break Wilt Chamberlain's single-game scoring record of 100 points. While Lillard's performance others like it, such as Donovan Mitchell's 71 earlier this season and Devin Booker's 70 a few years ago, are undoubtedly remarkable, it is important to note that breaking Chamberlain's record is a rare feat that requires a combination of talent, physical ability, and favorable circumstances. Moreover, the NBA has evolved significantly since Chamberlain's time, and teams today focus more on sharing the ball and playing collectively, which can make it more challenging for an individual player to score 100 points. While it is certainly possible that someone may break Chamberlain's record in the future, it remains to be seen whether Lillard or any other player has what it takes to achieve this historic milestone.
Furthermore, in modern times, star players are more likely to be rested or have their minutes managed, which means they may not have enough playing time to rack up a hundred points in a single game. That said, there have been a few instances where players have come close to breaking Wilt Chamberlain's record of 100 points, including Kobe Bryant's 81-point game in 2006 and David Robinson's 71-point game in 1994. However, these remain rare and exceptional performances. All in all, while it is technically possible for a player to score 100 points in a single game in the modern NBA, it would take an extraordinary combination of talent, circumstance, and opportunity to achieve such a historic feat.
