On February 20, Beijing time, the 2022 Cleveland All-Star Weekend will usher in the heaviest game tomorrow, and James and Durant will fight for the second consecutive year, competing for the victory of the game and the Kobe Bryant Trophy (All-Star MVP). The NBA officially released some key statistics, including 3 major scoring data. Here's a detailed report.
The first is the all-Star all-time total score, James has participated in 17 All-Star weekends before, he has all started, a total of 389 points, leaving second-place Kobe Bryant 99 points, he is 149 points more than Durant, who is fifth in history and second in active duty. James can be described as a ride on this project, not only is there no precedent, but it is difficult to have a latecomer.
Tomorrow James will make his 18th All-Star trip, and he will tie Kobe Bryant's career all-Star selection record, ranking second in history, behind Only Abdul-Jabbar's 19th. James hasn't missed any Of the All-Star Game since entering the All-Star Game in 2005, and he will continue to write his legend in Cleveland. Back at his familiar Cavaliers home, James naturally won't miss the chance to compete for the MVP.
Although James is the all-Star's overall scoring champion, the all-star player with the highest average score per game is the Bucks' alphabet brother. Alphabet brother participated in five All-Star Games in his career, scoring a total of 144 points and averaging 28.8 points per game. He's taller than any player who plays in more than three All-Star Games or scores at least 60 points in the main game. He played only 19 minutes last year, scoring 35 points on 16 shots to win the MVP, and I believe he will continue to beat the top five of the total score list in the future. Interestingly, 5 of the top 5 players in the top 5 per game in terms of scoring per game (there is a tie for the 5th) are all active players.
This was followed by a single-game scoring record, with 6 all-Star history scoring 40+ in a single game. The highest score came from the Lakers' thick eyebrows. Still playing for the Pelicans, he played at home in the 17-year New Orleans All-Star Game, scoring 52 points on 26-of-39 shooting, the only player in All-Star history to score 50+ in a single game. To know that thick eyebrows did not have any free throws and three-pointers in this game is absolutely incredible in this era. With his personal crazy scoring performance, Thick Brow won the All-Star MVP of that year.
In addition, Chamberlain scored 42 points in 1962, Paul George scored 41 points in 16 years, Westbrook scored 41 points in 15 and 17 years, and Jordan scored 40 points in 1988. Offensive stats for the All-Star Game over the past seven years have improved by leaps and bounds, with both teams ranking in the top seven overall scores from the past seven years. In 2017, the two sides ended the game with a high score of 192 to 182, and the two teams scored a total of 374 points, the highest in history.
After the official release of the three major scoring data, some record related statistics were also carried out. The players who have won the most MVP in history are Kobe Bryant and Petit, both of whom have won the All-Star MVP four times, and the second place is James, who is expected to hit the record tomorrow.
Rebounds in one game: Petit (27, 1962);
Assists in one game: Magic Johnson (22, 1984);
Single-game steals: Rick Barry (8, 1975);
Single-game block: Abdul-Jabbar (6, 1980);

In addition, James currently holds five all-Star records in total, namely playing time, scoring, shooting numbers, shooting shots and three-point shots. With Harden out of injury, James is expected to hit a three-point shooting record (39) tomorrow, after hitting 38 three-pointers in the All-Star Game. Curry was no. 3, hitting 31 three-pointers. Let's wait and see tomorrow's All-Star Game.
