A Lebanese basketball player named Mohammad El-Akkari made headlines last week after news reports claimed he scored more than 113 points during a single FIBA Asia game (part of the International Basketball Federation). The claim was so incredible, though, that many people refused to believe it.
But now, with video evidence in tow, every basket that El-Akkari made can be corroborated — though a count shows that he scored 109 points and not the originally-reported 113 (details, details).
Yahoo! Sports has more:
…thanks to the just-created-over-the-weekend lebbasketball YouTube channel, we now have video evidence of every bucket that Akkari (no El here) scored, complete with a handy tally in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. However, in scandalous news that is likely to shock the Internet to its very core, that tally suggests that Akkari only scored a measly 109 points rather than a full, proud 113…
Here’s the video, which shows the player’s astounding performance on the court:
It’s a rarity, as Yahoo! notes, for a basketball player to score 100 points in a professional game. Still, somehow El-Akkari was able to pull it off.

Seriously… has that team in yellow ever heard of defense? Impressive shooting though.

Posted on April 11, 2012 at 7:38amWho cares. This American high school caliber player (at best) didn’t do it against Wilt, Bill Russell, Moses Malone, or Magic. So again Who cares. It like comparing someone who scores a hundred points in a high school game. It maybe a high school record, but it ain’t a NBA record!!!!

Posted on April 10, 2012 at 3:16pmWho was on the opposing team? They stand there and do nothing! Oh, I get it: to challenge this guy with a good defense would have seemed to dishonor this hero. Therefore, it was their duty to do nothing but stand there while he scores points. By the way, the other members of Mo’s team also do nothing but act passively while he shines.

Posted on April 10, 2012 at 9:48amClearly this guy is an accurate shooter, but, and it’s a big but – - – the defense was non-existent – no one challenged him. Had Akkari played in a US college game where defense is taken seriously – maybe he would have gotten 40 points, or so.

Posted on April 10, 2012 at 9:15amWhile it is an amazing feat regardless of the defense. I must stand pat that he couldn’t have done that if even Obama was on the other side. Why I believe our President would shut him down.

Posted on April 10, 2012 at 8:16amThe other team wasn’t even guarding him. Anyone can shoot 3 pointers all game and make them, when no one is trying to put any kind of pressure on him.
