Though it wasn't taped or confirmed by Guinness, witnesses say Villanova guard Corey Fisher set a world record in the Bronx last weekend, scoring 105 points in a single street ball game. Dyckman Park Basketball program supervisor Isaiah Brown said, "[Fisher's tally] has to be a street ball record." When asked about carrying his team to a 138-130 victory, the 22-year-old said, "I didn't think nothing of it." Wilt Chamberlain holds the record for points scored in the NBA, when he scored 100 points at a game in 1962.
