How about Old Hoss Radbourn's 59 wins in a season?

That average of 50 ppg by the stilt won't be broken unless a 8 footer suddenly emerges and if anything is even more impressive given the 3 point possibilities now haven't helped anyone get any closer.

Even an eight-footer would not challenge Wilt's '61-62 marks, IMO. As a whole, league-wise scoring today is far less than what it was 50 years ago. During Wilt's 50 PPG season, the overall league averaged an NBA record 118.8 points per team (the 76ers averaged a ridiculous 125.4 points per game that year). Last year, the league as a whole averaged 100.0 points per game.

Chamberlain and Russell were before my time, but I have always been a "Chamberlain guy" whenever that argument comes up. The crazy thing about Wilt's 50.4 PPG average in 1961-62 is that Russell was still voted league MVP.

Even if true, I doubt their 107+ year drought record will ever be broken.

I think two separate lists need to be made, I dont feel you can compare individual season feats with career stats.

Default Wilt
For me the stat that stands out from Wilt's 1960-61 season was not his 50 points and 25 rebounds a game, but that he averaged over 48 minutes per game for the entire season

Ryan's 7 No-No's will never be broken. If Randy Johnson couldn't do it nobody will.

I doubt his number of walks will either.

Im sure Kobe could have scored a 100 if the defense backed off and let him hit that mark in the four quarter too. Plus they were intentionally fouling the losing team to save clock time and get the ball back to Wilt. What team does that? Great looking record but a kind of hollow one IMO if the stories are true.

Tough to see how Ryan's career strikeouts will ever be broken.

If Kobe could have scored 100, he would have. If you don't think that Kobe was trying to score as many points as possible when he put up 81, then you are in a fantasy world.

In no way did the Knicks back off to let Wilt score. That is something you are making up. They were doing everything to stop him. The Warriors were fouling at the end of the game to get Wilt to 100, but that only resulted in 5 more FG attempts that the previous quarter. At Wilt's shooting percentage for the game it would account for ~6 points and that is ignoring the time on left when he hit 100. The real reason for his scoring total was 28-32 on free throws. Even without the effort to hit the magic number, Wilt scores 94+ and has the greatest game in NBA history.

Default Amazing accomplishment
One person giving up or hitting two grand slams in one inning

One person scoring 5 runs and getting one RBI in a game without an official at bat
