The most unbreakable record in NBA history

[ds123]

Guys.. I've stumbled upon the most unbreakable record in the NBA. Wilt's 100pts isn't even close.



Try this one (highlighted in white for sphincter-clenching suspense):



Wilt 48.5mpg in 61-62.

[Tito Beasley]

I dunno, some of the Grizzlies starters are pretty close to breaking it as it is.

Mayo, Gay, and Randolph aren't even at 40...

[JayGuevara]

Some Warriors player could possibly do it. I know I've seen numerous games where various players have played the whole 48 minutes. :confusedshrug:

Monta Ellis at just 41.5mpg

[hayden695]

Yah I doubt anyone ever breaks it, unless they made games longer or something:oldlol:

[Duncan21formvp]

Wilt's 48.5 minutes per game.

Russell's rings
Wilts rebounding numbers
Kareem's pts
Stocktons assists
Kobe's game winners this season :confusedshrug:

[HylianNightmare]

russells rings... say hi

[magnax1]

Wilt's rebounding record is pretty much impossible to break. 13 seasons of 20+ rebounds per game.

[shake N bake]

how can he play 48.5 isnt the entire game only 48 minutes????

only thing i can think of is that he basically played in OT every other game

[Abraham Lincoln]

33 consecutive wins.

Your math is fuzzy, 48.5mpg wouldn't mean every other game had to go to OT. 50.5mpg would though. (48+2.5; with 2.5 being half of 5min OT).

To get 48.5mpg: You play 48minutes every game. And then play 30 extra seconds each game, or 24 extra minutes. So ~5overtimes will do it.

Russell's rings
Wilts rebounding numbers
Kareem's pts
Stocktons assists
Kobe's game winners this season :confusedshrug:

Always gotta throw Kobe in there.

His game winners aren't even a record and if it is, it just means his "stacked" team is completely underperforming.

Most of those records will never be approached.

72 wins will never be done again ( and the Bulls almost did it three times, they won 67 in 92 and there was a ton of 70 wins talk then.)

33 wins in a row will never be done again either.

[TimeConfidence]

All of Wilt's records.

[beasted86]

All of Wilt's records.
Dwight > Yao

[Lakas Fan Yo]

I'm not sure about the 33 wins in a row being unbreakable. I really thought it was but that Rockets 22 game win streak..........keep in mind they won 29 out of 30 games, with the only loss in 30 games being against the Celtics in a game that Yao did not play. The game was close.

If Yao played, then most likely they would have won 30 in a row. And as it was I believe Yao missed about 14 of the 22 games that they won. So certainly they could have won 30 if he played in the Celtics game, and that was even counting that he missed the last 14 of those games.

If they had him healthy, not only could they have won the game against the Celtics, but who is to say that they would have lost the game to the Lakers that ended the streak? I used to think that win streak was untouchable, but I have to say definitely not after what that Rockets team did. It's obviously unlikely that someone wins 34 in a row, but it's certainly possible and that record is breakable.

[veilside23]

MJ's 6 rings... being the number 1 guy . everytime they make it to the finals they never lost.. MJ never lost 6 finals 6 rings ....

[DuMa]

every one of seattle's records, sorry seattle people

[ukplayer4]

33 game win streak is do able, so is 72-10.

wilts 48.5 mpg beyond question will never be broken, it wont happen ever, players dont play enough minutes now. the 100 point game will also never happen, i think its highly unlikey that a centre ever leads the nba in assists also- did he win rebounding and scoring titles that year also?

[QuebecBaller]

Kareem's pts

What is the record for game winners in a single season? I know MJ only had 25ish for his career so most people just assume Kobe has set some of record this season.

The more teams that are added to the league, the easier it will be to break 72. The more teams in the league, the more crappy teams the best teams have to face. Expansions has a dramatic effect. And then when you consider that the NBA is not as popular as in the 80s and 90s, I would assume less kids are playing it, so players are probably going to be weaker. Add a few more expansion teams, and it will only be a matter a time when a really good team beats that record.

[Desperado]

Bill Russell 11 rings... being the number 1 guy . every time they make it to the finals they never lost.. Russell never lost 11 finals 11 rings ....

Closest player to Stocktons assist record under the age of 30 is Tony Parker with 3740


12066 Behind stockton.

[Showtime]

every one of seattle's records, sorry seattle people
The sonics history is now part of the thunder franchise. They retain franchise history, accomplishments (aka titles), jerseys, etc, so they can be "broken".

[Dave3]

That doesn't mean the record is untouchable. Chris Paul and Deron Williams will be much closer to the record when they're Parker's age.

Never said never mate. The said the same thing about the records in the Swim competitions and Phelps broke em all in the last Olympics.

[Crystallas]

What is the record for game winners in a single season? I know MJ only had 25ish for his career so most people just assume Kobe has set some of record this season.

Jordan had more early on. After a while, his team was too good to be in those situations enough to make any sort of record of it.

My guess would be, take a .500 team with a clutch shooter, and you'll find your answer. Reggie Miller :confusedshrug:

[MastahX]

Stockton's Assist Record will NEVER be broken.

100 points in a game will NEVER happen again.

[Kobe681]

Stockton's Assist Record will NEVER be broken.

100 points in a game will NEVER happen again.

Yeah those are both very great and impressive records. But...

If kobe can get somewhat close with 81, that 100pt record doesn't seem that far off to me. I really think someone will eventually break it. There's only one record that I believe will never be broken....

And that's the Celtics record of 8 championships in a row. That will never never ever ever never ever be broken....

[Dontstop]

That doesn't mean the record is untouchable. Chris Paul and Deron Williams will be much closer to the record when they're Parker's age.

They would each have to play 10 more seasons, which could be done but they would need to averages about 15 assists per game.

[Roundball_Rock]

MJ's 6 rings... being the number 1 guy . everytime they make it to the finals they never lost.. MJ never lost 6 finals 6 rings ....

See what the ESPN propaganda does?

http://www.hollywoodcollectibles.com/catalog/images/autographed/memorabilia/sports/collectibles/authentic/Basketball/Russell/Russell_11_Rings.jpg

There are several good nominations in this thread. I would add Kareem's 6 MVP's. It is hard to envision a player breaking that record.

[Alhazred]

Wilt's 50 points and 25 rebounds per game.

[artest 93]

Dwight > Yao

Why are so many trolls posting this?

LeBron > Wade, so what?

LeBron will finish top 10 all-time while wade will not even be close.

[scott0326]

Why are so many trolls posting this?

Because the guy he quoted used to say Yao was better then Dwight. The poster he quoted also has like 40 accounts on here.

[AirJordan&Magic]

Most of Wilt Chamberlain's records..50.4 ppg 25 rpg for a season, 100 points in a game, his 1966-67 season, his fg% record, 55 rebound record and MANY MANY more..........

Besides Wilt's records........It probably is Russell's 11 rings.

And John Stockton's assist and steals record.
If you see the marginable distance he has between the second place in each category, you will understand.

Honorable mentions for unbreakable records.....

Oscar Robertson's triple double season.
Kobe's 81 points (it's not the record, but can anyone honestly say that there will be another player that will complete such a feat)

[MagicMoose]

Darren Collison could get close to Stockton's record if he keeps playing like he is.

[sirkeelma]

Ron-ron's 1 season suspension.

[ds123]

Darren Collison could get close to Stockton's record if he keeps playing like he is.



Eeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasyyyy noowww.....

[Lebron23]

55 rebounds in one game

[oneeyeddeacon]

55 rebounds, 78 points and 43 rebounds (or any 40-40 game in general), 20-20-20 game, rookie winning rookie of the year and MVP. And yeah, 48.5 mpg is also pretty unbreakable.

[WoGiTaLiA1]

And then when you consider that the NBA is not as popular as in the 80s and 90s, I would assume less kids are playing it, so players are probably going to be weaker.

Maybe not in the US, but it is as popular as ever in Europe and Asia.


rookie winning rookie of the year and MVP

Might want to check your history books on that one mate. Wes Unseld is the most recent player to do it, so given that I would think a shared accomplishment is not noteworthy in this discussion.

The MPG is probably the most unbreakable without a rule change. Players just can't do that anymore, the game has changed too much, mostly it's the rules and the ticky tack fouls that get called, chances of not fouling out in a game is just so low if you played 48mpg, then you need the overtimes also.

Speaking of fouling out, that is another one of Wilt's great accomplishments, I don't know if he is unique in it or not, but he never fouled out in his entire NBA career.

[jlauber]

55 rebounds, 78 points and 43 rebounds (or any 40-40 game in general), 20-20-20 game, rookie winning rookie of the year and MVP. And yeah, 48.5 mpg is also pretty unbreakable.

Some good ones...but Wes Unseld duplicated Wilt's ROY and MVP in 68-69.

How about this, though? Averaging 40 ppg, per season, over the course of SEVEN straight seasons...or about 560 games.

How about this fact: Wilt scored 60+ points in 32 games...which is two more games than the rest of all of the NBA players whoever played...COMBINED. (Kobe is next with five BTW.)

Or, scoring 40+ points in 14 straight games...TWICE BTW, and averaging 54 ppg over each of those 14 game stretches.

Or making 35 straight FGAs.

Here is an interesting stat...Wilt had 34 30-30 games in his career...just against Bill Russell! Or 14 40-30 games...just against Russell,... as well as another three 30-40 games...against Russell. I have never seen anything that would show all of Chamberlain's games, but if he put up those kind of numbers against the greatest defensive center in NBA history...one can only imagine how many 30-30, 40-30, and 30-40 games he had in his CAREER.

How dominat was Wilt's rebounding? 55 in one game (against Russell, no less.) Or 27.2 rpg in a SEASON. Or 22.9 rpg over his CAREER. Or 41 rebounds in a playoff game (again...against Russell.) In fact, how about this stat? Russell is considered the second greatest rebounder in NBA history...and Wilt outrebounded Russell, in their 142 H2H games...92-42-8.

Blocked shots? Here again, we will never know..but Harvey Pollack recorded 25 in one game in the 60's.

In another thread someone mentioned that Durant was closing in on Jordan's record of 40 straight 25+ point games...which would have been remarkable, in itself...except that Chamberlain has the REAL record of 106 straight games of 25+. Not only that, but Wilt has the record of consecutive 30+ point games, at 65 straight.

Of course he has the 100 pt. game. But he also scored 70+ SIX times...which is two more than the rest of the NBA, in history, COMBINED.

SEASONS of .727 and .683 from the field. The THREE highest perfect games in NBA history (15-15, 16-16, and 18-18...all in the same season BTW.)

As was pointed out before...the ONLY 20-20-20 game in NBA history (22 points, 25 rebounds, and 21 assists.) Or an old-fashioned triple-double (100-25 game), or his 78-43 game.

Regarding his 48.5 mpg season...he would have played every minute of every game, except that he got thrown out of one game, with 8:33 remaining...the only 8 minutes and 33 seconds he missed all that season.

BUT, how about this fact...Wilt averaged 47.2 mpg in his 160 CAREER Playoff games. Or his 45.2 mpg for his entire CAREER.

The list just goes on-and-on.....

:applause: :applause: As I said, Wilt Chamberlain was a walking record book......The dominance of Wilt Chamberlain is the most unbreakable record.

[Silverbullit]

I have another Wilt record:

3159 FGAs in a single season. Wilt ranks #1-#5 on that list. Jordan #6 (2279 FGA).
Best active player: Kobe (#11, 2172 FGA)

[G.O.A.T]

Wilt's 48.5 Minutes per game.

How can that be broken?

[Rameek]

Oscar Robertson average triple double for a season will never be broken!

[jlauber]

Oscar Robertson average triple double for a season will never be broken!

Had blocked shots been an official stat, Wilt (and Russell) would have probably had SEVERAL triple-double seasons.

Another Wilt stat that will never be broken...351 points scored over five consecutive games... 70 ppg.

[Cangri]

Wilt's 48.5 Minutes per game.

How can that be broken?
wtf? Is that a true stat or is it just an error?

[Cyclone112]

wtf? Is that a true stat or is it just an error?

It's true, overtime is included to give him more than 48 minutes.

[Cangri]

It's true, overtime is included to give him more than 48 minutes.
So he always played 48 minutes + the overtime? damn.

[Abraham Lincoln]

So he always played 48 minutes + the overtime? damn.

He played all but 9 minutes in 1961-62.

[Rasheed1]

Wilt's 50 points and 25 rebounds per game.


^this one

or Russell's 11 titles in 13 years

[ds123]

^this one

or Russell's 11 titles in 13 years



Yea that's nice, but I was looking for some real exotic records, like 48.5mpg.

I'll give you another example of what I feel is the most unbreakable record in baseball:


Consecutive no-hitters by a pitcher. Record: 2. Done like decades ago. Will never be broken. Tied, maybe.

[BlueandGold]

Most of them are owned by Wilt

100 points in a game
leading the league in assists as a center
at least 25 points per game for an entire season
statelines Wilt put up

russell's rings
Jackson's rings

Horry's multiple rings with 3 different teams (?) - pretty sure no one has done that except for him

[BarberSchool]

That's a gem.
Was expecting:

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
15,837 FG made.

[Luigi]

Foul trouble will stop anyone from getting Wilts mpg record.

[MK2V1GP]

Come on OP. Don't act like YOU found this stat. They were talking about it during a game within the past week on ESPN or TNT. I saw that too. LOL.

"I've stumbled upon" my ass

[phoenix18]

AI could have broken it if he wanted to.

[Myth]

I think Wilt's 48.5 mpg game is the most unlikely record to be broken, but I doubt it is the most unbreakable. All that needs to happen is for a star player to be on a bad team where the player has more say than the coach. After that, if the player wants to break the record, all they have to do is say to the coach that he never wants bench and has to avoid injuries bad enough to remove him from the court. Fouls too, but he could easily become relaxed on D if he thinks he may foul out.

Point being, a very talented player in the right situation could pretty much decide to break this record and could do so with the will to fight through nagging injury type stuff and avoid serious injuries. Other records a player could decide he wants to try and break a record and still would not get even close (like breaking Wilt's rebound records; which I btw believe really are the most unbreakable)

[alexandreben]

Here is an interesting stat...Wilt had 34 30-30 games in his career...just against Bill Russell! Or 14 40-30 games...just against Russell,... as well as another three 30-40 games...against Russell. I have never seen anything that would show all of Chamberlain's games, but if he put up those kind of numbers against the greatest defensive center in NBA history...one can only imagine how many 30-30, 40-30, and 30-40 games he had in his CAREER.

I didn't verify all Wilt's 30-30, 40-30, and 30-40 games in his career, however, I did check all his big games against Russell based on Pollack's book, with respect, to correct two minor mistakes, per my counting:
Wilt had 13 40-30 games, in nov 26th 1959, Wilt had 49-33 led Phila a 143-130 victory over Boston without Russell, who was absence due to an ankle injury, so we can't count that game;

Wilt had four 30-40 games against Russell instead of three:
jan 15, 1960 Boston 124-112 Philadelphia Wilt:44 43 Russell:15 29
nov 24, 1960 Boston 132-129 Philadelphia Wilt:34 55 Russell:18 19
dec 28, 1965 Philadelphia 102-93 Philadelphia Wilt:31 40 Russell:11 17
jan 14, 1966 Philadelphia 112-100 Philadelphia Wilt:37 42 Russell:14 25

[beermonsteroo]

Maybe not in the US, but it is as popular as ever in Europe




The NBA isn't anywhre near the popularityof the 90es in Europe.

[beermonsteroo]

Kobe's number of final games below 40% FG (for players who average 10ppg +)

18

[Bigsmoke]

48.5 minutes

[Scal]

Horry's multiple rings with 3 different teams (?) - pretty sure no one has done that except for him

John Salley also won with 3 different teams - Detroit ('89, '90), Chicago ('96) and LAL ('00). Not quite as impressive as Horry, but did it before him.

[Pointguard]

Wilt had four 30-40 games against Russell instead of three:

jan 14, 1966 Philadelphia 112-100 Philadelphia Wilt:37 42 Russell:14 25

We are going to have to do something about JLauder under-representing Wilt's staggering numbers. LOL, ingrate!!!

Uhh...and force overtime? NBA games are only 48 minutes. If your on a bad team, you will never force overtime. Retard.

And the most unbreakable record right now that even counts for something is 81 points.

[LastChanceToWin]

How about the Knicks's record of most horrible contract signing in a row?

[Callystarr]

That doesn't mean the record is untouchable. Chris Paul and Deron Williams will be much closer to the record when they're Parker's age.



Yall are crazy....Chris Paul would have to play 82 games every year for the rest of his career and average his current career average of 10.0 assist per game for 15 more YEARS to pass John Stockton...

Deron Williams would have to play longer...I think people forget that John Stockton had No. 1 (Longevity) and No. 2 he put up some CRAZY averages year after year....Whats even more impressive is John Stockton came off the bench his first 3 years of his career, and in his 3rd season averaging just 25 minutes a game he averaged 9ast...*smh*

17.2pts, 14.5 ast, and 3 stl is a VERY impressive stat.

[Pointguard]

How dominat was Wilt's rebounding? 55 in one game (against Russell, no less.) Or 27.2 rpg in a SEASON. Or 22.9 rpg over his CAREER. Or 41 rebounds in a playoff game (again...against Russell.)

Kevin Love is putting all of these records in jeopardy. Obviously you haven't seen the news last night. Players are running for their careers. His 40-30 games are just a matter of time. These joints are about to tumble. Haha.

[Pointguard]

How about the Knicks's record of most horrible contract signing in a row?

Or DAntoni benching his best players and then sending them off and getting lower value, or no value in return to boot. I think we signed Joe Johnson and Atlanta is playing him!!! But we will bench him the last three years of his contract. I see that one coming a mile away.

[magnax1]

Wilt's career rebounding record is definitely the most unbreakable.

[pauk]

Oscar Robertsons 30 point triple double average season is unbreakable.

[DKLaker]

33 consecutive wins.

[Sarcastic]

Oscar Robertsons 30 point triple double average season is unbreakable.

Jordan came close. He did 32, 8, 8 in 1988-89.

[Lyoto15]

Records are there to be broken..
Eventually players/teams will start breaking records.

Nobody expected kobe to get 81... what if that game went to triple ot..

As impossible as some records seem, they will all get broken.
Will we be alive to see it happen? who knows.. But it will happen

[YouCallILose]

Stocktons assists records is untouchable

There is a better chance of the NBA extending game length to 60 minutes and someone averaging 48.5+ minutes than someone breaking Stocktons assist record

[Lyoto15]

On second thought.. some Wilt records are close to impossible.

But his 100 point record will be broken

[joshwake]

Any single game record is much more breakable than a career stat. Stockton's all time assists is absolutely untouchable.

anything is possible (but it will never happen, lol), but I am saying that it is the most unbreakable of the records.

If a guy played all 82 games every season for 16 straight years averaging 12 assists per game he would EQUAL the record.

Nobody has averaged 12 assists per game for a season since Stockton in 1995.

[AirJordan&Magic]

Wilt Chamberlain's 100 point game & 50 ppg average, easily.

[zizozain]

Kobe's number of final games below 40% FG (for players who average 10ppg +)

18
all-time lead for 30-point playoff road games when team has the chance to clinch:

Kobe Bryant 8
Elgin Baylor 6
Michael Jordan 5
Oscar Robertson 4

The fact that nobody did it since 1995 doesn't mean it wont happen. There's still a lot of basketball to be played in our lives.. Assuming no poster here is 70 :)

Count in the playoffs and less seasons are needed. Health is the main factor if you ask me.. this and the ability to pass a little above average obviously :P

stockton's record is pretty safe for a very long time i would think. he's a freak of nature that doesnt really get injured who played with another freak of nature (malone) that doesnt get injured for 20 years playing pick and roll
2 iron man staying on same team for so long? just so unlikely these days.

pretty sure the minutes per game and points per season one wont be beaten

the 100pt one may fall if there's a super hot shooter being constantly bailed out by the refs and the game goes into multiple overtime

[AirJordan&Magic]

Oscar Robertsons 30 point triple double average season is unbreakable.

Magic Johnson practically averaged a triple double in the 1981-82 season. I mean seriously, just 0.4 rpg & 0.5 apg away???

[GiveItToBurrito]

Guys.. I've stumbled upon the most unbreakable record in the NBA. Wilt's 100pts isn't even close.



Try this one (highlighted in white for sphincter-clenching suspense):



Wilt 48.5mpg in 61-62.

I agree, although I will say that if anyone does it, they'll average a triple double. It'd have to be someone so vital to their team that they're their best scorer, passer, defender, and a great rebounder. Actually, I could see Rondo doing this (averaging 48 a game) during a playoff series.

Kidd came pretty close one year, too. I could see someone doing it, although I don't think anyone currently in the league will.

[sbw19]

I don't know if it's a record but Sloan's 20+ years tenure with the Jazz is difficult to match.

[Poochymama]

How about this fact: Wilt scored 60+ points in 32 games...which is two more games than the rest of all of the NBA players whoever played...COMBINED. (Kobe is next with five BTW.)

.

If this is true(and I see no reason why it wouldn't be), that's one of the most incredible things I've heard.

Of the top of my head, I know Kobe and MJ both have 5, Elgin Baylor has 3 or 4, Jerry West has 1 or 2. There are some other like Malone, Robinson, Rick Barry, Shaq, Bird who I know have at least one(possibly 2 for some though I don't remember exactly).

[asdf1990]

20/20/20assists by wilt will never be broken. Double triple double.

Lol at making the most specific criteria ever to serve your purpose, though I don't really blame you(the post you quoted was retarded).

I'm not really dogging you too much, it just made me laugh. Lol, Record for most consecutive games played on a Saturday of 20 points in which the team was down by 6 points going into the 4th quater, also in which the player in question consumed a bagel that morning - Michael Jordan

[PurpleChuck]

20/20/20assists by wilt will never be broken. Double triple double.

Shaq was the closest. Needed 5 more blocks. I remembered it was 24/28/15.

Kidd had a 19/16/17 not too long ago..

Magic/Oscar/Bird prolly came closer to 20x3 via pts/rb/assists like Wilt had done

[Pointguard]

Single game records are can be broken by guys you don't even suspect. Like Scott Skiles having the single game record for assist. So I think they can be had. But games where two numbers are extremely high is the truest mark of greatness. Plus high numbers over a long period of time is probably the greatest measure.

Seven years over 40 ppg seems crazy to me. Cause Jordan was intentionally tryin to go for 40ppg one year and was having crazy games. As great and unstoppable Durant seems, he doesn't seem capable of achieving 40ppg one year either. What's really amazing is that Wilt scored like this before he hit his peak!!! Most big men peak from 29-32 years of age. Coaching had Wilt lower his average to 25.6 ppg during that time span. Wilt definitely could have pulled 40 ppg for 10 years but we don't need to add to his records.

Wilt's 70-40 (78- 43 game) game is crazy. If you break that in half that's an outstanding game - a 39 and 21 game is wild and rarely happening - pretty sure its less than five players reaching the halfway mark. Wow, go for half if you are great!!!

Wilt's career average of 30- 20 - 4 is also hardly attained in games over the course of a decade by great players. LOL. His career average is a great game for other top five players in the sport.

50 and 25 season is also a mark that players in the history of the sport is probably not attained in a game. So his season average is nearly unattainable for another greatest player in a game. Its a whole nother level when talking Wilt.

In no other sport can you compare career averages to other greats single game feats. Or split in half a players great game to compare it to the others greatest games. OR take a seven year average and say nobody is going to peak and hit that mark over the course of one season.

The Minutes per game thing is really wild when you consider that they rarely had beds that Wilt could sleep in comfortably. They took commercial flights and could play 2 sets of 4 back to back games. Or 8 games in 9 days and that usally meant at least one, may two games, on the west coast. Commercial flights rarely left on time so those nine days coudl have easily added 12 hours of waiting time in a nine day span. Plus, players were allowed to piggy back and hold Wilt. Then add the fact that Wilt was very active on the court and accurate (outside of foul shooting)... .

He sustained outrageous high levels of play. Rarely does anybody separate themselves from the pack like he did for such long periods of time in anything. And he could have done it even longer - only coaching stopped him.

His activity level and endurance is really legendary.
