Okay, so today I wanted to dig into something that’s been bugging me for a while: What’s the most points scored by a single player in the first half of an NBA game? I’ve seen some crazy scoring explosions, but I wanted the actual record.
First, I fired up my trusty search engine. I kept my search terms pretty simple, things like “most points first half NBA” and “NBA first half scoring record.” You know, nothing too fancy.
My Research Process
- I started by skimming a bunch of articles and forum posts. Lots of names got thrown around like Wilt Chamberlain, Kobe Bryant… you know, the usual suspects.
- Then I tried to find some official-looking sources, like the NBA website or maybe ESPN. It’s always good to get info from the source, right?
- It got a bit messy, to be honest. Some sites would list crazy numbers, but then others would have totally different ones. So, I decided to look for multiple sources saying the same thing, just to be extra sure.
- I even ended up going down a few rabbit holes about different eras of basketball. Did you know the game used to be WAY lower scoring? Crazy, right?
I finally found that it looks like a guy who name is Wilt Chamberlain,hold the record that scored most points in NBA first half. It’s amazing that how NBA has developed!
It’s wild, sometimes the simplest questions lead you to the coolest discoveries. Gotta love the internet!
