Potential Points in a Game

What is the most points that your favorite or franchise can potentially score in a game??
Take the players career high in field goals made, free throws made and three pointers made and add them up...
For example: Kobe has scored
28 field goals in a game = 56
23 free throws in a game = +23
**and 12 threes in a game = +12
Add them up and you get their potential scoring output....
Kobe has the potential to score 91 points in a game
(I know its nearly impossible for a player to get his career high in FGs, 3FGs and FTs all in the same game, but it might be interesting to see how many points different players can potentially score)
**EDIT: you can only add 1 point for each 3 because they already get 2 points credited for each field goal

Not to say it's as absurd as the thread combining career highs in each stat, but this really doesn't say much, since having more FTAs reduces your FGAs and vice versa.
