NBA records which will never be broken

No ones beating Hasheem Thabeet's hand size. Looked like he was holding an orange tennis ball.

Are you kidding?

Boban.

I stand corrected.



Those are shaved grizzly bear claws.

AC Green - 1,192 consecutive games played

The more impressive AC Green record is him staying celibate for 16 NBA seasons including many years hanging out with Magic. Can't see this true ironman record ever being broken.

Did he really find it that hard?

Minutes per game for a season - Wilt Chamberlain 48.5(1962)

This is honestly the real answer, and it could easily be considered a typo by someone who just glanced over records. Averaging more minutes per game than there are in an actual regular game is so **** preposterous it makes me laugh

I was going to add that if nobody else got to it first.

Small critique, it works without the colored font. But overall, well done.

If it says Wilt or Stockton the odds of it being broke are next to none. The rest….well…..

Bill Russell: 11 championships
Bill Russell, KC Jones: championships 8 consecutive seasons
KC Jones: 8 year career, winning the championship every season
Tom Heinsohn: 9 year career, going to the Finals every season

More likely to fall than Wilt or Stockton IMO. Obviously, all are incredibly unlikely anytime soon.

Without the "iron", it would only have been a simple pun. With the "iron" it was 3-way wordplay.

Trust your audience. If they don’t get it, not the crowd for nuanced linguistic posts. The others will appreciate it.

Reggie Bullock will break that in one hairstyle.

Avging 30pt/per game at 37 yr old, I don't think this will ever be broken.

[jokeboy86]

Most wins in a season(and also winning it all). I know it's not a real actual record but I think what we saw with the '16 Warriors is the closest we'll ever see again.

The combination of health, chemistry,(and also a bit of luck) required to even get to now 74 wins and win it all will probably be too taxing for any team going forward. The amount of winning streaks required during the season would also be insane. And I also think that teams priority more than anything with bigger contracts and supermaxs is for their players to be fully healthy come playoff time no matter what.

Wilt's averaging of 48.5 minutes per game. That record might as well be marked "impossible" since no coach/organization would EVER have their star on the court all game, EVERY GAME....including overtime. That record is more untouchable than any scoring or basic stat record in the history of the NBA.

Someday, we WILL eventually see someone score 100+ in a game. Someday we will see a consistent, great passing guard beating Stockton's record, and someday we will see some role player or so get lucky on multiple teams and have 12+ rings to beat Bill Russell.

But averaging 48.5 minutes, while playing EVERY SINGLE GAME of the season? (which was what Wilt did as well that season.) A player would have to go against everything in the sports science/medical world today, as well as the coach just letting their star player do that, AND avoid injury throughout the season. No way that ever happens in our lifetimes.

stockton récords are more doable than people think imo, Chris Paul with better health would challenge them

wilt scoring average and rebounding average récords are the ones that are impossible now

the 100 point record is absurdly hard but possible imo

Are you sure?

He has averaged 9.5 for his whole career. Stockton averaged 10.5. This is a whole apg.
Only one player has averaged more than Stockton. This was Magic Johnson.

And in case you could average 10.5 apg, you have to play more than 1504 games. Only 4 players did it.

Seems pretty undoable.

Paul is right now almost 37 and with 10894 assists in 1148 games.

He is 4912 assists to go. At 9.5 apg he is 517 games away. He should play 6 complete seasons and 1st half of another. Altough this year is dishing 10.7 apg, he was not arriving to his average the last 5 years. And he only has played 82 games one season in 17 years.

[trebone]

Its possible but the Scott Skiles 30 assist game seems like it would be pretty hard to beat.

[HoopsterJones]

Fastest foul out of game by Bubba Wells in 97.
2 minutes and 43 seconds game time.

[sp6r=underrated]

As I said in the other thread, to pass Stockton total assist you need to average 10.5 apg in 1504 games.
Only one player have average more than 10.5 in nba history (Magic) and only four guys have played more than 1504 games (parish, jabbar, dirk and vince)

It's that difficult!!!

Never thought of like that. Good god.

[sp6r=underrated]

Honestly I think Stockton's Assists/steals will not be broken in my lifetime (forever is a really long time). Since he has set those records no one has even come close to threating them.


Also Wilt's rebounding record.....for reference, he has nearly 10k more rebounds than the most recent active player to crack the top 10, which is KG in ninth place. Dwight is the only active player in the top 10 and he's catching up KG, but still is also around 9k short.

I agree with you the rebounding one is impossible. Duncan retired 6th on the list, had insanely good longevity, was an excellent rebounder, played until the wheels started coming off and he didn't even come within 8,000 of the record.

Same with Karl Malone and KG. Just utterly impossible.

[JoeyLightYears]

To be fair, twenty years ago people would have said that Oscar's triple-double season was never going to happen again, and now it doesn't even seem like that big of a deal with players approaching it every year and Westbrook having done it several times. I really think all records aside from AC's virginity streak are really possible.

Pretty much this. Think of how unrealistic this is, and this is probably the 'most plausible' scenario.

A team fighting for the playoffs, with one player so good, and a supporting cast so bad that they literally can't sit their star. They'd have to know this would be the case based off the year before. If it even took them one game into the current year to figure it out it's likely too late. This player would also have to want to do it, and be young enough to be capable of doing it while having a coach/front office willing to allow it. On top of that, this player couldn't foul out, get ejected or suffer any type of minor injury that could take them out of the game.
