The NBA’s Most Unbreakable Records
So, you think you know basketball? Well, let’s dive into the NBA’s most unbreakable records, where legends like Wilt Chamberlain and modern stars like LeBron James set the bar so high, it’s hard to see how anyone could ever reach it!
Wilt Chamberlain: The Scoring Machine
First up is Wilt “The Stilt” Chamberlain. This guy literally changed the game with his insane scoring ability. Remember that time he scored 100 points in a single game? Yeah, that’s a record that sits in a league of its own. No one—absolutely no one—has even come close since. Kobe Bryant might have dropped 81 points once, but that’s still a whole 19 points short of Wilt’s legendary feat.
And let’s not forget about Chamberlain’s season averages. He averaged over **50 points per game** in the 1961-62 season, which is absolutely bonkers! Michael Jordan is the only one who even flirted with the 40-point average, ever, hitting just over 37. So, unless we discover a new breed of basketball player, Wilt’s records are safe for the foreseeable future.
LeBron James: The Scoring Machine of Today
Now, speaking of scoring, LeBron James just crossed a massive milestone—the 50,000-point mark, combining his regular-season and playoff stats. That’s right, he’s in a category by himself, and he’s showing no signs of slowing down. His body of work is so impressive that future players might look up to him and wonder if they even have a shot at breaking his records.
Speaking of modern records, Stephen Curry is on the verge of making history himself. He needs just **two three-pointers** to become the first-ever player to sink **4,000 career three-pointers**. The closest competitor, James Harden, is a long way back at about 3,000, meaning Curry’s got this record on lock too!
Other Unbreakable Keepsakes in NBA History
Let’s take a look at some other records that are likely to remain untouched:
- Moses Malone’s 6,731 offensive rebounds: No one is close to this record, and it’s likely to stay untouched for a very long time.
- John Stockton’s 15,806 career assists: The assist king remains over 3,000 assists ahead of Chris Paul, who would need to play at peak performance for nearly five more seasons to break it.
- Scott Skiles’ 30 assists in a single game: A record that’s been around since the early ’90s and still hasn’t been touched.
- AC Green’s 1,192 consecutive games: A real iron man record that would require insane durability to eclipse.
What’s Next?
As we gear up for the future of the NBA, it’s incredible to think about which records might one day fall. But for now, it seems that the legends of the past and the present have created a barrier that might just be too high for anyone coming up through the ranks. So, as we enjoy the games this season, let’s tip our hats to the unbreakable records and the players that set them. Who knows what kind of history we might witness next?
Stay tuned and keep watching; the NBA is always full of unexpected surprises!
