Alright, listen up, y’all. We gonna talk about them fellas in the NBA, the ones who score a whole mess of points. We ain’t gonna get all fancy, just straight talk, ya hear?
So, the big question is, who scored the most points in a quarter in NBA history? Well, lemme tell ya, it was this fella named Klay Thompson. Yeah, that’s right, Klay Thompson. He went and got himself 37 points, all in one quarter! Can ya believe that? Thirty-seven points! That’s like scorin’ a whole game’s worth of points in just one little part of it.
Now, this happened back in 2015, against the Kings. And it was in the third quarter, mind you. I guess he just got real hot, you know? Like when you’re cookin’ somethin’ on the stove and it just catches fire, but in a good way, I reckon. He was just throwin’ that ball up, and it was swishin’ through the net every time. Swish, swish, swish. Must’ve been somethin’ to see.
- Klay Thompson got the record: 37 points in a quarter. That’s a whole lot of points, more than some fellas get in a whole game!
- He did it against the Kings in 2015. Those Kings boys probably didn’t know what hit ’em.
- It was in the third quarter. Maybe he had a real good halftime snack or somethin’.
Now, they say this LeBron fella, he’s got the most points in the fourth quarter over his whole career. That’s somethin’ too, I guess. But we talkin’ ’bout one quarter, just one, and Klay, he’s the king of that. 4,557 points in the fourth quarter is a big number, sure, but it ain’t 37 in one go, is it?
There’s also this Sleepy Floyd fella. They say he got a record for points in a quarter in the playoffs way back when. In 1987, to be exact. I don’t know all the details, but seems like he was on fire that day too. Playoffs, that’s when it really counts, so that’s pretty darn good.
I hear tell some folks keep track of all these points, quarter by quarter, goin’ all the way back to 2014. They say the Golden State Warriors and the Memphis Grizzlies, they both score a whole bunch in a quarter sometimes. Tied for the most, they say. Well, them Warriors, they got Klay, so that makes sense. And them Grizzlies, I guess they just run around a lot and throw the ball up, I dunno.
Anyways, this record, it’s a big deal. Scorin’ that many points in just one quarter, that ain’t easy. You gotta be real good, and you gotta be lucky, I reckon. And you gotta have the other team just standin’ around watchin’ you, maybe.
The NBA, it’s changed a lot, they tell me. More scorin’ now, they say. More runnin’ and gunnin’. Back in my day, things were different, I tell ya. But that’s a story for another time. We talkin’ ’bout Klay Thompson now, and his 37 points. That’s a number to remember, y’all. Thirty-seven. In one quarter. Imagine that!
Now, some folks might argue about who’s the best ever, or who scored the most in a whole game, or whatever. But when it comes to one single quarter, ain’t no arguin’. It’s Klay Thompson. He’s the man. He got those 37 points, and nobody else has done better, not yet anyways. Maybe someday someone will beat it, but for now, Klay’s the king of the quarter.
And that’s all there is to it, folks. Klay Thompson, 37 points, one quarter. That’s the story. Now go on and tell your friends, so they know who the real deal is when it comes to scorin’ in a hurry.
So there ya have it. Just plain talk about them basketball fellas and their points. Hope ya learned somethin’. And if ya didn’t, well, that’s alright too. It ain’t the end of the world.
