NBA all-time strongest air slash list: Towns is new on the list, and the ancient beast Chamberlain is too invincible to account for half.
On January 23, 2024, Towns made 21 of 35 shots, 10 of 15 three-pointers, and 10 of 14 free throws, scoring 62 points, 8 rebounds and 7 turnovers as the Timberwolves lost to the Hornets 125-128. While Downs set a record for the number of three-pointers made by a center player in a single game, he also joined the club with 60+ points.
In such a high-level, high-confrontation league in the NBA, it is not easy for a player to score 60 points in a single game, and it is incredible that the team can lose the game while scoring 60 points. Today, I will take stock of the top ten empty slash rankings in NBA history, all of them are superstars:
