If you were lucky enough to see Bam Adebayo’s historic performance on Tuesday, March 10<\/strong>, you would have sensed something special happening, almost right away. A spellbinding 31-point first quarter for the Miami Heat All-Star laid the table for a big night. But still, no one could have predicted just how extraordinary Bam’s exploits would become.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, Bam Adebayo went for 83 points. Yes, you read that right. It’s fair to say that no one would have predicted that Adebayo, an All-Star in his own right, would one day put up the second-most points ever scored by a player in a single game \u2014 trailing only Wilt Chamberlain’s near-mythical 100-point masterpiece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Topps NOW\u00ae <\/strong>honors Bam Adebayo\u2019s 83-point game<\/strong> with a 2025-26 NBA Topps NOW\u00ae<\/strong> release that includes an open-edition base card, foil parallels, an image variation short print, and autograph redemption cards<\/strong>. The card commemorates Adebayo\u2019s March 10, 2026 scoring explosion, which moved him into second place on the NBA\u2019s all-time single-game scoring list behind Wilt Chamberlain.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Before Tuesday, Bam’s career high in a game stood at 41. He more than doubled that on his way to moving past Kobe, whose own famous 81-point outing had stood in second place since 2006.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was the exact sort of occasion that Topps NOW\u00ae was built for: a card capturing a moment that unfolded in real-time, over the course of one magical game, one unbelievable performance. Let’s take a look at the card commemorating Bam’s biggest night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The card back details the spectacular performance, Bam moving past Kobe, and his breaking of LeBron James’ record for most points in a game in Miami Heat franchise history. Bam broke James’ mark in the third quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
