The historical significance of Devin Booker’s 70-point game against the Boston Celtics was clear from the moment he hit the number, but to cap it off, a part of the game is now at the home of basketball history.

At the age of 20, Booker became the sixth player in NBA history to score at least 70 points in a game.
By reaching that mark, he easily put away some other impressive records.
It was the most points in one game by a player under the age of 21 in league history by 13 points, and he also beat Tom Chambers’ franchise record for most points scored in one game by 10 points.
Booker and his Kentucky teammate Karl-Anthony Towns showed love for the jersey going on display at the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.
