NBA: All unwavering records
After LeBron exceeds the 50,000 -point brand and with Curry reaching 4,000 triples, here are other records that look unwavering.
Last week, LeBron James crossed the 50,000 points scored (Combining regular season and playoffs) and created a club in which there could only be one member, even decades later.
Thursday night, Stephen Curry He created another category of a single man. I only needed two triples to become the first player in NBA’s history to reach 4,000 in his career. Only another player in history has reached 3,000, and is the star of The clippers, James Harden. Harden is 35 years old and almost 900 triples less than Curry, which will turn 37 on March 14. Reaching 4,000 would be difficult for Harden, which has averaged about 200 triples per season. But reach Curry? Probably impossible. Curry has added almost 90 to his advantage over Harden only this season.
When James and Curry retire, the milestones that have established well could go to immortality. Here are other individual NBA records that will probably overcome the time test.
Season
• The entire 1961-62 season Wilt Chamberlain It is written in a statistical concrete, because it will never be duplicated. He averaged 50.4 points per game, the best brand in history, and no one approaches him. Michael Jordan is the only player, apart from Chamberlain, who averages more than 37. Chamberlain averaged 39.5 shots per game, the highest figure in history, and nobody approaches him. No one else has averaged more than 30. Elgin Baylor He averaged once 29.7, Jordan and Allen Iiverson 27 each.
Another brand that will last forever is its average of 48.5 minutes per game. That season was never replaced; It only lost eight minutes of a game after being expelled in the partial room. He reached an average of more than 48 minutes because he played seven extensions. Miraculously, he almost never had fault problems, with an average of 1.5 per game.
• 41 Technical offenses of Rasheed Wallace. The seventh match of the finals of the West Conference of 2000 went down in the history of Portland for the controversial whistles. Wallace’s relationship with the referees was worse, and in the following season he accumulated a record of 41 technical faults, in addition to 18 expulsions. In 2006, the NBA introduced new rules that forced a player to suspend once he reached 16 in a season, which has probably finally frozen Wallace’s record. It is the third of all time in technical faults, with 317 in its 16 seasons, only behind Karl Malonewith 332, and Charles Barkley, with 329. at the other end of the spectrum, Mike Conley He has played 1,157 matches in 18 seasons and have never been a technique.
• The 88 Walt Bellamy games. In 1968-69, Bellamy began with the New York Knicks and played 35 games. Then he was transferred to the Detroit Pistons And, due to an imbalance in the calendar, he played 53 games there to reach 88 in the season. The players have played more than 82 games on 42 occasions, the most recent when Buddy Hield played 84 between the Pacers and the Sixers last season. The second after Bellamy is Tom Henderson, who played 87 games between the Bullets and the Hawks in 1976-77.
Career
• The 6,731 offensive rebounds of Moses Malone. If their numbers are included in the ABA, they are 7,382. That is 2,500 more than the second classified, Artis Gilmore, and 2,100 more than Robert Parish If only the NBA numbers are seen. He has the two parties with more offensive rebounds in history, with 21 and 19. The current active leader in offensive rebounds is Andre Drummondwhich follows 3,600 from Malone.
• 15,806 assists in John Stockton’s career. Stockton led the League in assistance assistance assistance, from 1987 to 1996. It is more than 3,000 of number 2 of all time, the current San Antonio Spur, Chris Paul. In its twentieth season, Paul will turn 40 in May. He has averaged 9.3 assists per game in his career and would have to maintain that production, without missing a game, for almost five more seasons to reach Stockton. Stockton has the four seasons with more assists in history and seven of the 10 best. He had 31 games with 20 assists or more. Stockton is also the leader of all time with 3,265 robberies in his career, almost 600 more than Jason Kidd, who occupies second place.
• The 1,192 consecutive AC Green matches. The streak lasted 16 consecutive seasons with four different teams, from 1986 to 2001. Green beat Randy Smith, who played 906 consecutive games from 1972 to 1982. Mikal Bridges, 28, of the New York Knicks, a game has never been lost in his career, having played 539 consecutive games in the last seven years. To reach Green, he would have to do it for almost the next eight full seasons.
• LeBron James, 1,290 consecutive regular season games (and telling) noting double digits. James began the streak in 2007 and has been about to stop her on several occasions, such as last October, when she only had seven points for two minutes to the end of a match against the Suns. In 2021, he scored a triple to reach 10 points after severely twisting the ankle in a game and leaving for the locker room. James beat Michael Jordan, who had the previous record of 866 consecutive games, in 2018. The only current streak that was close belonged to James Harden, but that ended last season in 450 games after he had to leave a game with a lesion in the Corva’s tendon. James has scored less than 10 points in two playoff games during the period, the last in 2014 when he scored seven points against the Indiana Pacers.
• The 3,830 Hakeem Olajuwon blocks. Mark Eaton’s record of 5.56 blocks per game in a season is also crazy, but Olajuwon’s figure is huge. Exceeds in more than 500 to second classified, Dikembe Mutombo, which is closer to the ninth since the first on the list. In case you are wondering if Victor Wembanyama He could aspire to this, well, he has started with a good step. Wembanyama has averaged 3.7 caps per game in its first two seasons. He would have to maintain that average, without missing any game, during the next 13 seasons to overcome Olajuwon.
Game
• The 30 assists of Scott Skiles. This record has already exceeded the test of time, since it has been in the books for more than 30 years, since December 30, 1990. It was stuck in 29 assists, the record that Kevin Porter held since 1978, for six minutes in the last quarter before getting the record with a minute to play. Skiles, who averaged 8.4 assists per game that season and later had a game of 20 assists, scored 22 points that night (and the Orlando Magic scored a 155 -point team record in a victory over Denver). The closest someone has recently been in 2017, when Rajon Rondo had a 25 -assist match with New Orleans. In the last 10 seasons, Rondo and Russell Westbrook are the only players with more than 22 assists in a game.
• The 100 points of Wilt Chamberlain. The 63th anniversary of this feat has just been fulfilled, achieved March 2, 1962, And there are many possibilities for the centenary to be reached without anyone approaching. Chamberlain made a 78 -point match earlier that season (in a triple extension defeat against Lakers, when Elgin Baylor scored 63 points) and two 70 -point games the following year. The key was on the line, where he scored 28 of 32 points. He was a 51% shooting shooter in his career, and it was easily the night with a better percentage of free throws for him in that magical season. The second best in history, of course, were the 81 points that Kobe Bryant scored in 2006 with 17 less shots (46 against the 63 of Wilt). From Bryant, alone Luka Doncic (73), Donovan Mitchell (71), Damian Lillard (71), Devin Booker (70) and Joel Embiid (70) They have been the only players who have overcome the 70s.
• The 55 rebounds of Wilt Chamberlain. This happened on November 24, 1960, in a match that Chamberlain said later that he was one of the most exhausting of his career. The rival was Bill Russell and the Boston Celticsthey won by three points. He beat Russell’s record of 51 rebounds set the previous season. Chamberlain and Russell have the 12 games with the most rebounds in history. Only two other players have achieved 40 (Nate Thurmond and Jerry Lucas) in history. There have been a few games of 30 rebounds in the last two decades, the most recent of Jusuf Nurkic, who achieved 31 with the Suns last season.
