Oscar Schmidt in 8 games for Brazil in the 1988 Olympics:
🔥42.3 PPG
🔥7.8 RPG
🔥56.9 FG% (23.5 FGA)
🔥55.6 3P% (7.9 3PA)

1,093 — Luka Doncic
1,084 — Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
1,080 — Giannis Antetokounmpo
1,011 — Nikola Jokic
The only players with over 1,000 non-FT points.
Luka Doncic's 33 field goal attempts are the fewest of any 70-point game in NBA history.
His 16 free throw attempts are the 2nd-fewest.
Just unreal efficiency.
Lowest opponent FG% this season:
40.5 — Jaylen Brown
41.1 — LeBron James
41.2 — Kentavious Caldwell-Pope
41.8 — Alex Caruso
41.8 — Kevin Durant

Is SGA the modern-day version of MJ?

Both on low-volume 3PA.
OTD in NBA History (Dec 8, 1961), one of the greatest duels ever took place.
Elgin — Wilt —
63 PTS 78 PTS

Elgin’s Lakers won 151-147.
@statmuse
One is a better scorer, one is a better playmaker, both are nearly identical in shooting efficiency (in terms of TS%).
In the regular season I'm taking Embiid, but track record in the playoffs has me favoring Jokic.
Most games with 40+ PTS on less than 7 free throw attempts in NBA history:
25 — Stephen Curry 🔥🔥🔥
18 — Michael Jordan
17 — George Gervin
Closest active player to Steph Curry is Klay Thompson (13 games).
@statmuse
Most “cripple-doubles” in NBA history:
9 — James Harden
8 — Russell Westbrook
4 — Isiah Thomas
3 — Magic Johnson
3 — Clyde Drexler
3 — Hakeem Olajuwon
3 — Kobe Bryant
Only one franchise has three players who have knocked down 1,000+ threes in their career with the team:
The Milwaukee Bucks.
— Khris Middleton (1,267)
— Ray Allen (1,051)
— Michael Redd (1,045)
Ausar Thompson this season:
1st in loose balls recovered
1st in personal fouls
2nd in stocks (STL + BLK)
2nd in offensive rebounds
5th in blocks
7th in contested 3PT shots
16th in steals
An anomaly of a player.
Lowest opp FG% this season (min 25 dFGA):
20.0 — Victor Wembanyama‼️
22.2 — Kentavious Caldwell-Pope

The only players holding opponents under 25%.
Otto Porter Jr has called it a career.
From beginning his career with the Warriors in the 1960s to a short stint with the Jazz in 2024, he'll go down in history as a legend.
Most career APG by a player 7'0" or taller:
4.7 — Giannis Antetokounmpo
4.4 — Wilt Chamberlain
3.7 — Brad Daugherty
3.6 — Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

🚨WEMBYGAMI UPDATE🚨
Unfortunately, this Wembygami did not happen. Let me explain.
I use Real, ESPN, and CBS Sports' apps to keep tabs on the live-game box scores for Victor Wembanyama, that way I can cross-check my sources. At the conclusion of yesterday's game, all three…
