DeMatha beat Power Memorial 46-43 holding Alcindor, or the future Kareem Abdul-Jabaar to 16 points, ending Power's 71 game win streak...it was the only loss of Jabaar's high school career(116-1).........WOW

Who was the only NBA player to score 4,000 points in a single season?

No player in D1 has ever scored 4,000 in a career, but Travis Grant scored 4,045 points for Kentucky St. (D2)

Ballaholic the answer to your quesstion is Wilt Chamberlain.

Next ??: Name one of only two players to score 2,000 points and grab 2,000 rebounds in their NCAA career, and this is D1 players only.

When you average 50.4 a game for a whole season like Wilt did, you get to 4000 rather quickly like Chamberlain did in the 1961-62 season.

Who scored the second most points in an NBA game and how much did he total?

The person who scored the second most points in an NBA game was George Gervin who scored 73 in the last game of the 77-78 season (I may be wrong on the season). What two Celtics were inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1984? (I was there.)

The second most points in an NBA game is held by Kobe Bryant with 81.

Wilt is third on the list with a 78 point game.

Wilt is tied for 4th on the list with a pair of 73 point games. David Thompson also has a 73 point outing to his credit.
