In the Mavericks' game against the Hawks, Doncic's outstanding performance was remarkable. He shot efficiently and staggeringly from the field, scoring 73 points, the fourth-highest single-game performance in NBA history. After the game, Doncic held up a digital card for a group photo, a long-standing tradition in the NBA. This tradition began with the famous Chamberlain, when a reporter gave him a digital card to commemorate him after scoring 100 points in a game, and since then, this ** has become one of the most iconic moments in NBA history. With the development of the Internet, this tradition of taking photos with cards has been imitated by more players, especially since the 21st century, there have been six players who have scored more than 70 points in a game, and they have chosen to take photos with cards.
In this game, Doncic's performance left the fans hooked. He shot an astonishing 25-of-33 shooting, including 8-of-13 three-pointers and 15-of-16 free throws, and not only scored 73 points, but also contributed 10 rebounds and seven assists. This single-game scoring record is amazing and makes Doncic the fourth-highest scoring player in NBA history. His efficient scoring showcases his excellent technique and exceptional scoring ability.
Chamberlain's tradition of card photo not only influenced the players of the time, but also became a popular trend. In recent years, players who scored 70 points or more have imitated Chamberlain and opted to hold up digital cards for a group photo. In addition to Doncic, players such as Embiid, Mitchell, and Lillard have all chosen this approach after creating extraordinary performances. For these players, holding up the digital cards signifies their excellence on the field and becomes a symbol of their personal achievement. This group photo method has become popular among the players, and it has also brought more topics and attention to the fans.
In the history of the NBA, in addition to Chamberlain and the current players, there are some other players who have also had similar behaviors of holding cards and posing for photos. For example, Michael Jordan scored 69 points against the Pelicans on April 16, 1990, and also held up a 69-point digital card to pose for a photo after the game. Jordan's high score performance undoubtedly shocked people, and his group photo has become one of the classic moments in history. In other leagues, players such as Yi Jianlian of China's CBA and Diana Tachen of the WNBA have also chosen to hold up digital cards for a group photo after their outstanding performances. This trend is not only a celebration of the players' performance, but also a demonstration of their self-affirmation and love for basketball.
However, there is one exception to these players who have scored more than 70 points, and that is Kobe Bryant. Bryant didn't choose to hold up the number card for a photo after scoring the second-highest 81 points in history, nor did he be seen holding the number 81. While there are many similar ** on the web, that is just a fan or **p's, not a real record. Kobe Bryant did this because he really didn't care about personal data, and what was more important to him was the team's honor and victory. Bryant has always prioritized team honors, and his goal is to win championships for the team, not individual records. Even in the game where he scored 62 points in the third quarter, he did not continue to pursue his personal scoring record, but chose to rest in rotation, taking into account the interests of the team as a whole.
Kobe Bryant is one of the greatest players in NBA history, and his career has been filled with glory and accolades. With five NBA championships to his name, he has shown incredible skill and boundless determination on the court. Although he is very good in terms of individual ability, Kobe Bryant has always focused on the team, putting the interests of the team ahead of personal glory. This values and attitude have become the essence of his career and have made him a legend in the hearts of fans forever.
In NBA history, it was every player's dream to score high scores, and posing for a photo with a card has become a tradition and a way to commemorate it. As a pioneer, Chamberlain's 100 points** became one of the classics, and it also triggered later players to follow suit. In the 21st century, six players who have scored 70 points have chosen to take a photo with cards to leave a mark on history. However, Kobe Bryant is an exception who chooses not to pursue a personal record and instead focus on the team's accolades. Bryant's team-oriented values are admirable and have made him synonymous with greatness in the hearts of fans. Whether they lift the cards or not, each player has shown their prowess and love for basketball in their unique ways, which are indelible memories in NBA history.
