Why is the media creating these fake ''records''?

[livinglegend]

What s up with this 40 streak games 25+ pts record? Humm.... Wilt scored 50 ppg for the whole season.

Another fake and impressive record is Jordan going 6 for 6 in the finals. Humm....Russell went 11 for 11 if you dont count the year he got injured.

[riseagainst]

50 ppg for a whole season does not mean 82 straight 50 point games.

and MJ would be 6 for 6 in the finals if u count the years he didn't get to the finals. So that means he only played 6 years and won 6 chips.

Any more retarded criterias?
We can do this all day.

[IncarceratedBob]

Can you prove that Wilt scored 50 ppg?

Nope. That's why, we know 100% what MJ did.

[Black Mamba's B]

The media always has an agenda. More money is made off of Jordan and guys like Bron and Durant so they'll do whatever they can to overhype their accomplishments although they are impressive. Media don't care about Wilt, Russell, Big O, Baylor or Kareem like that

Yeah, people counted the points on paper and those papers are available.

Here's a better question:

Why didn't you make this thread when ESPN was creating odd criteria to authenticate a LeBron streak or record the last two seasons?

Seriously, I'm curious to know. Because from an objective observer, you and the LeBron stanhood are whining like petulant toddlers now that LeBron isn't the toast of the town.

Grow up.

The Wilt Myth is rather amusing. From the footage I've seen, he looked like a poor man's Javale Mcgee

[HoopsFanNumero1]

It's just the media's way of brainwashing the sheep, also known as casual NBA fans, into thinking Durant is already one of the best players ever.

He dodged this HARD.

[MMM]

Russell lost in the 58 finals pretty sure he was hurt but he was 11/12 in the finals. Hondo was 8-0 doe

[coin24]

So 40 straight games of 25+ scoring is bullshit,
but 5 games of 27+ points, 7 ast, 6 reb, over 60%fg, 2 headbands is a legitimate record?:confusedshrug:

[mr.big35]

Like Lebron is the first player to score 30 points when it is 20 degrees while wearing black socks and head bands.

Relevant to OP's age range

OP was asking for it being a LeBron stan. It's almost like he wanted to get called out on his double standard.

It's not a record. 40 is the 3rd longest streak. Still very impressive.

MJ has the first, who's the other?

[fpliii]

MJ has the first, who's the other?
Wilt 10/19/61-12/14/62 (106 games)
Oscar 12/25/63-10/17/64 (47 games)
MJ 12/16/86-3/11/87 (40 games)
MJ 3/7/88-12/6/88 (40 games)
Durant 1/7/14-present (39 games)

[Im Still Ballin]

All the proof you need for Wilt's numbers.

You so mad.

Oh, and these fake records started with Lebron.

"Lebron James is the first player to score 25 point on the first Tuesday in January on a West Coast trip."

Interesting...

Russell injured his ankle in game three of that series (and with the series tied 1-1.) Boston did go on to lose that game, 111-108, but they actually outscored the Hawks without Russell.

Then, without Russell in game four, they easily beat the Hawks, 109-98.

They were without Russell again in game five... a 102-100 loss.

And Russell returned for game six, but only played in the first half. Boston again outscored the Hawks without Russell, but they lost that deciding game by a 110-109 margin.

lebrons 12 game streak of at least 26points 6.3rebounds 7.2assists while shooting 47.8% with a schedule following a at home, home, home on the road, on the road, home, home and at least 85% attendance is unparelled bar none. not even close. lettuce be real tea.

[BlackVVaves]

Because other people did it. :facepalm

Or because you typically flap to any semblance of LeBron praise :confusedshrug:

I just find it comical that the same LeBron stans that are complaining about the attention KD is garnering are the same posters that flooded ISH with the identical subjective circle jerk over LeBron the last few seasons.

Your boy is the first player who was the beneficiary of these fake records, but you want to call out KD and MJ? You don't see the hypocrisy in that?

It seems like you have problems with interpretations. If you read the post carefully, you would see that I didnt call out KD or MJ, I called the media. Your emotions got to you.

It starts and ends with ESPN and their arbitrary stats (e.g. Lebron only 1 of 3 players to score over 44 with 13 reb, blah blah).

That being said, I don't see how anyone can discredit Durant's streak because it matches an actual record, and speaks to a player's scoring prowess for a long period of time.

Finally, OP is a *******.

The record is over 100, not 40.
