Best single-season record:
1995-96 Chicago Bulls (72-10)

Greatest team of all time? According to the record books, absolutely. In his first full season back on the court (remember that stint with the Chicago White Sox?), M.J. rode out the Bulls' high expections by leading his team to the finest season in NBA history. Along the way, he notched another scoring title to top Chamberlain's record of seven, three MVP awards (season, All-Star, Finals) and handed Chicago its fourth title. The Bulls' season record broke he 1971-72 Lakers' record of 69 wins in a season.

Most points in a game:
Wilt Chamberlain's 100

The closest anyone has ever come to tearing down this record, which Chamberlain set on March 2, 1962 in the Philadelphia Warriors' 169-147 win over the New York Knicks, was Kobe Bryant (81) on Jan. 22, 2006.

Most championships for a player:
Bill Russell's 11

Eleven titles in 13 seasons as a player or coach in the league. Think about that: The only seasons he didn't get the Celtics a ring were 1958 and 1967.

Most points per game:
Wilt Chamberlain's 50.4 points/game (1961-62 season)

In addition to his all-time mark of 100 points in a single game, Chamberlain finished the 1961-62 season with an average 50.4 points per game. His closest competitor was M.J., who averaged 37.1 points per game during his 1986-87 season with the Bulls. Don't expect this Wilt record to ever come down.

Most minutes per game:
Wilt Chamberlain's 48.5 (1961-62)

Let's see, how many records can one man pack into a single season? In addition to averaging 50.4 points a game and dropping 100 points against the Knicks during the 1961-62 season, he also averaged 48.5 minutes a game.








Most seasons leading league in scoring:
Michael Jordan with 10 (1987-93, 1996-98)

Ten times Jordan finished as the league's top scorer. He and Chamberlain are the only players to have won seven straight league scoring titles. By comparison, the leaders among active players, Kobe Bryant and Shaq have only done it twice.

Most rebounds in a game:
Wilt Chamberlain's 55

Wilt grabbed 55 boards in the Philadelphia Warriors' loss to the Boston Celtics on Nov. 24, 1960. Bill Russell came close with 49 rebounds (twice) with the Celtics. Dwight Howard's career high is 26.








Most assists in a game:
Scott Skiles' 30

Skiles set the record on Dec. 30, 1990 during the Magic's 155-116 victory over the Nuggets. He broke Kevin Porter's previous record of 29 and went on to earn the NBA's Most Improved Player award that season. No one has reached 28 in the past 15 seasons.

(http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/multimedia/photo_gallery/1003/nba.toughest.records.to.break/content.7.html#ixzz12uh8gp00)






Most personal fouls in a season:
Darryl Dawkins with 386 (1983-84)

The previous year, he set the record with 379 fouls. What's more impressive: "Chocolate Thunder" is also the only NBA player to shatter two backboards in one month during a season (1979) with his massive dunks.








Most career assists:
John Stockton with 15,806 (1984-2003)

In his 19-year tenure with the Utah Jazz, which ended in 2003, Hall of Fame point guard John Stockton put up 5,000 more than the guys second on the list, Mark Jackson (10,323 over 17 years).

(http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/multimedia/photo_gallery/1003/nba.toughest.records.to.break/content.9.html#ixzz12uhP3yGg)






Most career points scored:
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar with 38,387 (1969-89)

Only four NBA players have topped the 30K mark: Wilt Chamberlain, Michael Jordan, Karl Malone and Kareem Abdul-Jabaar. Abdul-Jabbar's lead is 1,459 points. :toast









Longest single-season winning streak:
Los Angeles Lakers with 33
(Nov. 5, 1971-Jan. 7, 1972)

The Rockets came the closest with their 22 straight wins in 2008. But they weren't anywhere near the 1971-72 Lakers 33-game mark.

[Venti Quattro]

of all of those records, most fouls in a season would probably be the easiest one to break.

[lefty]

Spurs's average age

[duhoh]

almost all of them are pretty untouchable.

fouls? well given how techs have been handed out so far, i definitely wouldn't recommend it :lol

[DAF86]

Most seasons leading league in scoring:
Michael Jordan with 10 (1987-93, 1996-98)

Ten times Jordan finished as the league's top scorer. He and Chamberlain are the only players to have won seven straight league scoring titles. By comparison, the leaders among active players, Kobe Bryant and Shaq have only done it twice.

Is Iverson officially retired?

[crazylakerfan001]

I think phil's 11 and counting is gonna be pretty hard to break especially when coaches get fired easily

[BUMP]

55 boards in one game will never be broken. It was easier for Chamberlain because we was way more physically athletic than everyone out there.

Today, everybody is athletic. You have point guards like Jason Kidd who are capable of getting 10 rebounds any night. On top of that, Gerald Wallace SF was leading the league in rebounds.

[Giuseppe]

^Not now of course, cuz he's makin' like a door nail, but, I'll betcha dollars to donuts that Auerbach wishes he'd a never retired so young.

When Phil whipped out that X Cap after Orlando it all came in focus.

[Libri]

of all of those records, most fouls in a season would probably be the easiest one to break.

Especially if Mahinmi becomes a starter.

[sefant77]

The one of the Clippers franchise

And seriously the Stockton assist one

[Gutter92]

Probably 32 blocks in a finals series. To do it in 6 games is almost unthinkable tbh.

[Giuseppe]

And seriously the Stockton assist one

& John is so satiated over it. Ringless, but, sated.

[Gutter92]

Also, how many teams have gone, say, 13 (arbitrary number) or so seasons with a winning % of, lets say, .610, which is a 50-win season in a 82 game season...that record seems pretty impressive, anyone know how many teams have done it?

[Giuseppe]

Mib?

[Gutter92]

Mib?

What is mib?

[Giuseppe]

Man In Black

[BUMP]

Mib?

Gui with the goods, the greats, and the absolutely wonderfuls, par the course, per usual, par the timing of the seasons, what we've come to expect persay at this household, the commons, the excellence withstanding forthcoming.

It was a driving sea of rain, the Red Sea was forboding, and yet you smited adversity and delivered the ST army through the darkness in this ever so black hour::::::For that I'm ever grateful

Let us proceed, eppe, let us proceed.......

[Giuseppe]

I can no longer part that Red Sea, but, I can still certainly lick the jar, BUMP.

[history2b]

I too think the toughest record to break would be for a team to have 13 straight years of winning 50 games or more. That is a level of greatness never to be achieved by anyone in our lifetime.

[Giuseppe]

^Oh, it's a doozy!

[bbarry]

I have a question? If you are, say... 0 and 42, or whatever, and you continue that streak by staying 0'fer, does that count? Personally, I think those 0'fer streaks are incredible.:lmao

Your signature is actually very flawed. LOS ANGELES Lakers only have 11 championships. Time to change it, son.

Suck it.. Bitch!

[DeadlyDynasty]

11 rings for one player (Russell) will never be broken.

[Girasuck]

The 30 assists in a game will eventually be broken. Too bad Malone got injured and the Lakers screwed him over by diagnosing the injury wrong or else he would've broke the scoring record. I still believe there was a conspiracy against him breaking the record.

[Giuseppe]

He wouldn't sit, Gira. Adamantly refused.

But, I'll second your conspiracy theory. It just came from Stern in New York. The Lakers had nothing to do with it.

[AussieFanKurt]

what the fuck is 0 & 42. I seriously don't know

[Giuseppe]

It's the formula of Phoenix Suns NBA Championships and their years of existence. Ipso facto O & 42!

[midnightpulp]

It's the formula of Phoenix Suns NBA Championships and their years of existence. Ipso facto O & 42!

Or how many months Culburn has gone without an erection.

har, har, har

[Giuseppe]

I take solace in O & 42!

[xellos88330]

A decent thread started by a Laker fan, then ruined by Laker Trolls...

To add to the thread, they are all tough to break in the Modern NBA.

[NRHector]

how holds the record for consecutive free-throws? or there isn't one?

[DeadlyDynasty]

how holds the record for consecutive free-throws? or there isn't one?

Wasn't it Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf (sp?) with the Nugs back in '93? I could be wrong though...

[NRHector]

Wasn't it Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf (sp?) with the Nugs back in '93? I could be wrong though...thb I don't know, I thought it was John Stockton

[Giuseppe]

I thought it was Calvin Murphy.

[DeadlyDynasty]

I just looked it up...it's some cat named Michael Williams in 1988 or 89 with 97 consecutive ft's. Never heard of him tbh

[DeadlyDynasty]

http://www.nba.com/history/records/regular_freethrows.html

Michael Williams, 1993, Timberwolves.


Most FTA w/o a make: Shaq, 0/11 :lol

Mavs greatest 56 game stretch in sports history

[Venti Quattro]

It's interesting if there's any team stupid enough to field in a player to commit 5 fouls per game to break the most fouls in a season record :lol

[LkrFan]

#1 seed, with an MVP, getting punked by a #8 seed in the 1st round of the WC playoffs.

Naaahhh, I'm thinking that Arnold is content with 8 straight with 5 of those being over the Lakers. 8 Straight Titles, that's one that will never be broken.

[Man In Black]

Just so you know...if you had paid attention when reading, you'll see his name is Micheal Williams. He played mostly for the T-Wolves.

[Giuseppe]

Naaahhh, I'm thinking that Arnold is content with 8 straight with 5 of those being over the Lakers.

Being room temp, he's got no other choice.
