Best athletic performance ever
In these trying times we need more of these fun threads. This is the most amazing thing I've ever seen in sports. I watched it live on TV and it was great!
Klay scoring 37 in one quarter.

"Thorpe became the first Native American to win a gold medal for the United States. Considered one of the most versatile athletes of modern sports, he won Olympic gold medals in the 1912 pentathlon and decathlon, and played American football (collegiate and professional), professional baseball, and basketball."

How 'bout Wilt Chamberlain's 100-point game against the NY Knicks back in 1962...a record that will probably never be broken. No 3-point shots back then either.

Wilt had other records that he was more proud of.

Byron Nelson was so dialed in during the 1939 U.S. Open, he hit the flagstick six times on approach shots during the regulation 72 holes.
Many people play their entire lives and never hit one. Tiger winning the 2000 US Open by 15 strokes will never be matched.

I watched it live in glorious B&W! Roger Bannister has to be on the list, so does Eliud Kipchoge. There is something about solo sports endeavors that resonate with me.
