The nba You are in the middle of an incredible score explosion. Until January 3, there were 14 games in which a player scored 50 or more points in the 2022-2023 season.
Donovan Mitchell currently sits atop the scoring list after scoring 71 points in the Cavaliers’ first game of 2023. The shooting guard became the seventh player in league history to break into the 70s for points and led the Cleveland to win.
But Mitchell is far from the only unstoppable star in the 2022-2023 season.

Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo He gave a harsh response to the question about a possible trade to another NBA club:
“I’m here. Don’t ask me that question. It’s disrespectful to me and my teammates. I wear this jersey every day.
To say I don’t want to be here is disrespectful to the organization, the coaching staff, myself and everyone who worked hard to get me on the field. Don’t ask me this question. I am her. I’m going out in this uniform. And as long as I’m here, I’ll give it my all until the last second of the match.”
On the night of December 27-28, Antetokounmpo returned to the field after his calf muscle injury and became the most productive player of the game with the Chicago Bulls – 112:103.
