NBA Individual Records That Will Never Be Broken
Wilt Chamberlain — 100 Points In A Game
Chamberlain made 36 field goals and was 28-of-32 at the free-throw line on his way to the only 100-point game in history. The closest that anyone has come to this was the Kobe Bryant shooting master class against Toronto in 2006, when he scored 81 points.
The only current players to have even 60-point games are Carmelo Anthony (62) and James (61). Bryant was also allowed to score 60 points in his final game, but most of the 51 shots that he took were uncontested, so I don’t rate this game up there with the ones by Anthony and James.
Looking around the NBA at the moment, Stephen Curry might have challenged the mark, maybe Damien Lillard or even Durant. For them to achieve this feat in the modern game, all the moons are going to have to align, as basketball is too team-oriented.
Some records are meant to be broken, Curry is going to smash the record for three-point shooting held by Ray Allen sometime in the next three to four years. Chris Paul may also take John Stockton’s steals records, but the rest on this list will never be beaten.
