In fact, 10 of the NBA's most eye-popping marks are about as likely to fall one day as the commissioner is to target the Los Angeles Lakers, Boston Celtics, and Philadelphia 76ers for contraction. We're talking about records that are so far out of reach. Shaquille O'Neal couldn't touch them if he stood on Dikembe Mutombo's shoulders. Some of these records are testaments to remarkable teamwork and the power of momentum. Others show what's possible when great players exceed even the loftiest expectations. And a couple of them are, well, flukes that occurred simply because the circumstances were ideal for a historical hardwood happening.</div> Probably the only record I could see being broken is the celtics 40-1 home record.
I bet people will read this and say that Shaq could break any of those records if he played in that era. Shaq could never score 100 points in a game, nor could he play 79 complete games, nor could he average a triple double (has he ever even gotten one?), ever in any era. Drop it already.
^A little sensative ? No way could the Celtics homecourt record be broken.Going the whole season undefeated at home? That would just be stupid.

"Well Shaq could score 300 if he played in the 60's because he is so awesome." Ok, do you have any evidence? No? How about logic? No? Well why do you think that? You arent one of those people though Giant, i consider our debate(s) to be pretty knowledgable on both sides and very competitive.
The most impressive record of all is Wilt's 100 in a single game. No one in any era could break that record but him. I beleive that no one will ever break or come close to breaking his record. You see players like Garnett, Kobe and McGrady score 20 points a gme and that's a god game for them. When they go for 40 or so that is an exellent game for them. No player will ever get 80+ points again IMO.
^Definitly, Wilt's 100 points in a game is a lock for sure. It's hard for players these days to score 40 points in a game and yet Wilt averaged about 50 points a game in one season.
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">As a result, you find yourself wondering if Chamberlain's 100-point game actually occurred as reported on March 2, 1962, or if it's just a basketball myth. </div> <div align="center"></div> But I agree with AA13 100%. In the future who knows, you could see players reach the 70+ or 80+ mark but no one will ever reach 100 points. After Wilt did it, it seemed impossible to ever record again.
