Golden State Warriors’ Stephen Curry became the NBA’s leader in 3s made and surpasses Ray Allen’s 2,973 mark.
Beat the record for triples scored by Stephen Curry This Tuesday, there are five individual marks that remain unattainable for now in NBA history:
100 points in a Chamberlain game
Will Chamberlain, one of the greatest players in history, scored a staggering 100 points on March 2, 1962 when his Philadelphia Warriors they beat the New York Knicks by 169-147.
No one has ever scored that high in a game in the American Basketball League. The center, retired from the NBA in 1973, is also the top rebounder in history with 23,924 sacks.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s 38,387 points
The legendary figure of the Bucks and the Lakers he amassed a total of 38,387 points in his two decades of career, the most for any NBA player. He also retired Karl Malone, emblem of the Utah Jazz, it follows with 36,928 points while behind it comes LeBron James, the Lakers superstar, with 35,787.
Westbrook, king of triple doubles
The current point guard of the Lakers Russell Westbrook this year managed to break another of the records that seemed unattainable, the triple doubles, which was held by Oscar Robertson since 1974.
Playing for the Washington Wizards, Westbrook topped May 10 with his 182nd career triple-double, a category that requires double digits in three of a game’s five major categories: points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks.
Bill Russell, “the lord of the rings”
Bill Russell, the legendary center of the Boston Celtics, has more champion rings, 11, than he can wear on his hands, a brand that other giants like Michael Jordan (6) the Kobe Bryant (5) they couldn’t even get close.
The pivot, currently 87, led the Celtics dynasty that accumulated eight titles between 1959 and 1966, to which he added the trophies of 1957, 1968 and 1969.
Jordan and the best point average
Considered by many to be the best basketball player in history, Michael Jordan retired permanently from the slopes in 2003 with an average of 30.1 points per game, the best average in history.
Chamberlain is next on the list with 30.07 points while two active players are in the top six: Kevin Durant (Brooklyn Nets), fourth with 27.1 points, and LeBron James sixth with 27.00. (D)
