Guy scores 138 points in a game???

On November 20, 2012, Jack Taylor from division III, Grinnell College, scored an outstanding 138 points in 1 game. He broke a college basketball record with the most points in a game. That is not only a college basketball record, that is a record for every level of basketball. No one has ever scored that many points in 1 game. Wilt Chamberlain once scored 100 points in a game, which was never recorded; Kobe Bryant once scored 81 points in a NBA game, but Taylor has passed those to greats up with 138 points. He went 52-for-108 (27-for-71 from the 3-point line) in a 179-104 victory over Faith Baptist Bible college. The previous Grinnell record was 89 by Griffin Lentsch last Nov. 19 against Principia. "I gotta thank the man upstairs," Taylor said. "I was able to multiply my talents tonight." Taylor wasn't the only star of the game. Faith Baptist Bible's David Larson scored 70 points (34-for-44). But the two didn't discuss their parallel shooting success during the game, Taylor said.   Carmelo Anthony and the New Your Knicks were amazed by Taylor's feat when they heard about it after their victory in New Orleans. "I never heard of nothing like that. That's like a video game," Anthony said, an incredulous look on his face. "How can you shoot 100 times, though?"
He joked that from now on when someone asks if he's taking too many shots, he'll mention "that someone shot it 108 times." Oklahoma City star Kevin Durant also was astounded by the 108 shots.
"Jack Taylor you deserve a shot of Jack Daniels after that performance lol...wow," Durant tweeted.
