Recently, Bam Adebayo made history on the court, scoring 83 points in one game. This historic feat put him in rare air, falling behind only Wilt Chamberlain for the most points in a game all time. It also put him just ahead of Kobe Bryant, who scored 81. Adebayo's achievement surprised many in the hobby and sports world, as not many saw it coming. Topps has decided to chronicle the event on the latest Topps NOW card, which will be up for grabs on the Topps website for a limited time. For fans of the Miami Heat, Adebayo, or just basketball in general, this is a card that many may want to check out.

Here is what collectors need to know about the card and it's rarer variants.

Bam Adebayo Scores 83 Points and Earns a Brand New Topps NOW Card

The card features Adebayo getting ready to dunk the basketball in a photograph that was taken from the historic game. The photograph does capture the athletic ability of Adebayo, as he seemingly floats through the air on his way to the hoop. The rest of the card keeps with the Topps NOW format of the year, with information noting his accomplishment at the bottom of the card, along with the date and team logo. The Topps NOW logo is in the top left of the card, and the back of the card contains a brief write up of the game and his record setting night. The card will be printed to order, meaning collectors have until March 13th to purchase a copy of the card.

Collectors Can Find a Photo Variation, Parallels, and Autographs of the Card

Collectors who decide to purchase the card may find a rare variant of the base card. This includes a photo variation of Bam holding up a piece of paper with the number 83 written on it. This is a homage to what Wilt Chamberlain did when he scored 100 points. This variation will definitely appeal to those who appreciate the history of the game, and it will be randomly inserted into orders that are placed.

Parallels can also be found, including: Gold Foil (/50), Black Foil (/10), and the FoilFractor (/1) among others. The bigger chase here is that Adebayo has autographed 16 copies of the card. There will be a version numbered to ten, to five, and to one. A preview image of the 1/1 has his signature, along with a very unique inscription: "83 Pts 3.10.26". For collectors, this could become a sought after card, not only due to rarity, but for historical significance.

Bam Adebayo is the latest subject in the continuing Topps NOW set. His historic 83 point game was unquestionably worthy of earning a card, and collectors can now obtain it on the Topps website. Miami Heat and Adebayo collectors will be putting this card on the top of their want lists, and it will be for sale until March 13th. Lucky collectors can find photo variations, parallels, or autographs randomly inserted into their orders that take the place of the base card.
