Statistics, more often than not, are used as a quick way of looking into a player's performance but sometimes people get creative and just downright outlandish.

One Tweeter has decided to take it upon himself to find the answer to a statistic that at first sounds quite simple, however, he found his journey quickly turned into madness.

What NBA player has a career high points scored in a single game that matches their jersey number?

When you look into the number of players in the NBA, then consider the very fact that not every player has kept the same number throughout their career, this once seemingly trivial stat journey takes a deep dive.

Despite things getting complicated, he persisted.

This wild stat puzzle was solved but unfortunately, it was someone else who solved it.

Drumroll, please...

 

What is the most bizarre basketball stat you've ever heard?
