Being an NBA fan watching players go on bizarre scoring runs in a game is certainly amazing. What’s better than that? Well, a young player having a breakout game and making a name for themselves.
Speaking of scoring records, ever wondered who is the youngest to ever score 1, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, and 70 points in NBA history? Well, thanks to Reddit user u/H1-God for creating a streamlined list of the same.
On that note, let’s take a look at some of the youngest players to break through the barriers of the aforementioned scorers over the course of history.
Youngest NBA Players To Score 1 Point
Andrew Bynum did not have a long and stellar career in the NBA, but he will have his name engraved in the NBA history books. Injuries played a big part in his decline and he never reached the level that fans once expected him to reach.
Youngest NBA Players To Score 10 Points
Coming straight out of high school, Kobe Bryant took some adjusting to the league. But he still showed signs of stardom even in the early stages of his career and soon got on the path to becoming one of the best NBA players in history.
Youngest NBA Players To Score 20 Points
While Kobe could have had this record to his name, just days after Kobe achieved this feat, Jermaine O’Neal broke the record. Since then, no other player has been able to achieve this record.
Youngest Players To Score 30 Points
LeBron James entered the league as a teenager and hit the ground running from the very first day. It seems unreal that he has been in the league for almost two decades and is yet to slow down.
Youngest NBA Players To Score 40 Points
Once again it’s LeBron James who holds this record right now. Of the active NBA players, only Luka Doncic even came close to breaking this record, but he was already older than James when he scored 40 points for the first time in his career.
Youngest NBA Players To Score 50 Points
Brandon Jennings was expected to become a sensational player when drafted in 2009. In fact, for a while, he did deliver according to those expectations, but after a four-year spell with the Bucks, he never returned to form during the latter stages of his career.
Youngest Players To Score 60 Points
Michael Jordan was good at many things and scoring was arguably one of the biggest skills that MJ had in his arsenal. It is no surprise that Jordan holds this unique record.
Youngest Players To Score 70 Points
Devin Booker’s 70 points in a losing effort back in 2017 remains one of the best individual scoring performances the league has ever seen. He completely annihilated opponents yet couldn’t help the Suns win that game.
