As the 2024 NBA All-Star Game approaches this weekend, Team Giannis and Team LeBron gear up for an entertaining clash. Let's take a glance at the players who hold the record for the highest individual point total in a single All-Star game.
While there are various ways to showcase an NBA player's dominance throughout the All-Star Game weekend, it is widely acknowledged that the number of points scored stands as the primary and most significant measure.
Jayson Tatum showcased brilliance in the 2023 NBA All-Star Game with a record-shattering 55 points. The star from the Boston Celtics now proudly holds the record with an impressive 55 points.
Scoring 50 points in the NBA All-Star Game isn't unheard of considering that the previous record was also in the 50s range. Anthony Davis formerly held the record when he scored 52 points in the 2017 All-Star Game.
In fact, just last season, Steph Curry was close to breaking the record. Curry scored 50 points and became the second NBA star to score at least 50 in a single All-Star Game. Jayson Tatum is the third NBA star to have a 50-point performance in the All-Star Game.
Who won the 2023 NBA All-Star Game?
The 2023 NBA All-Star game was exhilarating to watch as it was an action-packed, high-scoring showing from the basketball stars. In the first quarter alone, both teams had 46 points apiece.
Jayson Tatum asserted his dominance when he led the game with 13 points in the first quarter. Kyrie Irving and LeBron James kept their team alive when they combined for 20 points.
Donovan Mitchell then proved to Team Giannis that his 71-point outing earlier this season wasn’t just for show when he dominated the second quarter with 14 points. But then came the second half when Jayson Tatum went crazy and drained shot after shot. Tatum added 27 more points in just the third quarter alone. Everyone just knew that he was going to win the All-Star Game MVP award at that point.
Ultimately, Team Giannis came out on top as Jayson Tatum carried the team to a 184-175 victory. It was definitely an NBA All-Star Game to remember.
