Furkan Korkmaz was an absolute flamethrower in the Philadelphia 76ers’ first Las Vegas Summer League game, scoring 40 points on 18 shots in a 95-89 loss to the Celtics. To give you an idea of how much Korkmaz dominated, the next-highest scorer in this one had 16 points.

Korkmaz scored the fifth-most points in NBA Summer League history, making him an absolute July NBA legend. (Anthony Morrow holds the record at 47 points.)
‘NBA 2k19’ needs a limited edition Korkmaz card with unlimited range. He hit 8-of-14 from deep!
Look at all these!
Sixers Twitter — and some assorted others — was in love.
You might recognize Korkmaz already because this is his second year in Philly. He was the team’s No. 26 overall pick in 2016. He hasn’t played much — he was on the court for 80 whole minutes last season — but he’s only 20 years old.
Maybe he deserves a shot!
Whatever happens for the rest of his career, Korkmaz will forever live a Summer League phenom.
