[CelticConcourse]

From Fox Sports - The 10 Unbreakable NBA Records:

1. Chicago's 72-10 Season
2. Jose Calderon's 98.1 FT% Season
3. Wilt Chamberlain's 50.4 PPG Season Average
4. Rasheed Wallace's 41 Technical Fouls in a Season
5. Bill Russell's 11 Championships
6. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's 38,387 Total Career Points

8. LA Lakers' 33 Straight Wins
9. John Stockton's 15,806 Assists
10. Wilt Chamberlain's 100 Point Game.

Which one of these records would you like to see broken?

[Who]

Kareem's scoring record will definitely be broken.

[Atzar]

LeBron and Durant both have legit shots at the scoring mark.  For both, it's a matter of staying healthy and playing at a high level into their late thirties.  Durant has an additional obstacle named Russell Westbrook, who inexplicably leads the team in shots despite the fact that Durant is having a 50/40/90 year.  Defies all logic. 

[Celtics18]

Number 9 . . . by number 9.

17 NBA championships banners hung in one building.

Oscar's triple double season will never be equalled.

In order of most likely to least likely in my opinion.


1. LA Lakers' 33 Straight Wins (the Heat have no chance)
2. Jose Calderon's 98.1 FT% Season
3. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's 38,387 Total Career Points
4. Chicago's 72-10 Season
5. John Stockton's 15,806 Assists
6. A.C Green's 1192 Consecutive Games
7. Wilt Chamberlain's 100 Point Game
8. Wilt Chamberlain's 50.4 PPG Season Average
9. Bill Russell's 11 Championships
10. Rasheed Wallace's 41 Technical Fouls in a Season

Those records are crazy. Gotta love a bit of history.

I seriously dont think Kareems scoring title will be broken any time soon. The game has just changed too much since then. I dont think Lebron will break it, but Durant may have a better chance. Once lebron loses his athleticism its gonna be harder for him to score.

When you think about it. of players now Kobe is the closest, and he has only hit 30k this year, still another 7500 points to go.

11 rings.... doubt that will be repeated.

50.4 ppg average, wont be repeated.

15k assists will be hard to beat. not impossible though.

100 point game could happen again.

and that consecutive games streak is absolutley absurd.

Some of those seasons where Wilt and Russell had 2,000 boards in a season will never be sniffed again.

I've been thinking really hard on what those numbers were. Didnt Kareem also average 20 boards one season?

[freshinthehouse]

Wilt had two seasons where he averaged 27 boards a game.  That is madness.  I didn't think Kareem ever put up a season over 20.  Russell and Wilt rarely put up seasons where they didn't at leave grab 20 a game.  Things were so much different in the NBA in the 50s and 60s.  So many more missed shots per game.

[freshinthehouse]

Another insane stat is Wilt playing 45.8 minutes per game for his entire career.  Dude was an athletic freak.

Yeah, we'll never seen an era with such a high PACE and such a low FG%. Or so many untalented white guys getting so many minutes.

Both Russell and Wilt averaged over 20 boards per game in 10 seasons...Kareem's highest RPG was 16.9 in 75-76.

I'm curious to see who will pass Parish as the career leader in games played (1611)...the four active players who are the closest right now are Kidd(1377), KG(1320), Kobe(1229), and Ray(1214). I doubt Kidd, KG, or Ray get anywhere close to 1600, so I guess that just leaves Kobe.

[LooseCannon]

Wilt Chamberlain once took 3159 field goal attempts in a season.  The second-most in a season, also by Wilt, is 2770.  Kobe Bryant, at his most ballhogginess, is 12th on the single-season list with 2173 in 2005-2006.  So, Kobe, at his height, could have taken 50% more shots and not beaten the record.

There should just be a list of ten ten hardest-to-break NBA records not held by Wilt Chamberlain.
