most impressive athletic feat I have witnessed in my lifetime

[StateOfMind12]

Must be pretty easy when your just guarding the team's worst offensive player and doing nothing on defense.

Anybody in the league could do that if given the green light.

[Micku]

Very impressive considering his age and milage. He is pretty much doing it at all time efficiency in his career too. I'm impressed by Kobe this year, but too bad the Lakers are still sucky, even though they have good offensive talent in the starting five.

[BallsOut]

only scoring... cant do no nothing to help his team

6 assists, 4 rebounds, 2 blocks

also averaging 5 rebounds and 5 assists to go along with 30 points per game. Quit hating. :biggums:

HE probably will be. Kobe's longevity is overrated. Like 8 of his seasons don't even count because he was a nobody. I always lol when people say he is in his 17th season, lol like he was even good for half of them. :oldlol:

[BallsOut]

Kobe had his 10th straight 30+ point game tonight. The tenth double digit streak of 30 or more points since 1985-86.

You are overdoing it. Trolling is an artform you are ruining.

BTW, I 'm not sure as to what you'd like to achieve with all this. Do you happen to think you are very original? Funny? Both? You are mature because you don't believe all the false Kobe hype? Is that what you think? You are on a crusade and the world is going to be a better place after you will have convinced the population they were adoring a false god? Is this what you believe?

Because what I believe is this: You are not very successful in real life, so you spend half of your time trolling on the internet to feel less miserable. I'm not sure I'm right, but I'm sure that's what you look like.

[BallsOut]

^^ That, plus RocketGreatness probably looks worse than RRR3 in real life too :oldlol:

[Smoke117]

Screw that shit. There should be a big asterisk next to this. (though nobody really gives a crap, but Kobe fans anyway) If you take 41 shots and can't reach 30 points than you suck ****ing ass.

Spoken like someone who didn't watch the game. Kobe takes 40 shots every game. The difference in that game was he got no FTs, side from a technical foul, despite being hammered on at least 5 occasions while driving to the rim.

What are you talking about ? He did get to 30+ with those 41 shots.

It is pretty crazy, but I hate all these stats since 1985 blah blah blah. Makes it seem like the NBA didn't exist before that. Wilt must shit on this record btw

good guess...he has the top 3 streaks:

65 (11/4/61-2/22/62)
31 (2/25/62-12/8/62)
25 (11/11/60-12/27/60)

the first two both took place all or in part during that weird 61-62 season

This guy doesn't know what he's talking about. He's even too lazy to google Kobe's stats if he doesn't know much about the NBA.

[ESPNdreamjob]

How many streaks were there that were longer than 16 by someone other than Wilt?

[fpliii]

How many streaks were there that were longer than 16 by someone other than Wilt?

I don't think there were any but I can't confirm this offhand. Baylor/Robertson are decent possibilities; Kareem, Erving, Gervin and West are also remote possibilites, though I don't think there's anybody else (maybe Tiny Archibald?). I'll check them when I have a chance, unless someone finds out in the interim.

[julizaver]

Kareem with 16 in 1971-72 season. And if for one game of 27 he could have it in 25.

Hey, haven't spoken with you in a while. I've been busy doing work for nbastats.net so I haven't focussed so much on the Russell-Wilt spreadsheet. I flew out to California to visit my campus a few weeks ago, but the SF Chronicle editions that would be useful were on reserve and had to be ordered.

I can verify the info in the Wilt spreadsheet is correct if you want to add it to the spreadsheet (as for the block/steal/turnover numbers, those were cited directly by newspapers; any estimates that seem inconsistent with actual game film are due to error by statkeepers/reporters (who would continue to report the same numbers after they became official, as they were already recorded).

BTW I do have a mechanism for accessing newspapers from Oakland, which might be helpful for the matchups during Wilt's years in SF. I'll PM or e-mail you the details later.

Cool list! I just went to rep you but it appears that feature is gone. It's still a couple of weeks away, but it would be incredible if Kobe could get to at least 15 (as he'd hold the top two spots in the modern era alone, two years apart).

So all the players except Tracy McGrady on that list are deserving of the HOF?

oops, my characterization wasn't entirely accurate

if a source is mentioned it is fine (as in this file:

the Wilt spreadsheet has some estimates though which are still very dangerous if they do not cite a newspaper

[konex]

That's what you get for missing fts Kobe. Streak over. 27 with 3 missed fts :roll:
