In this edition, we talk unbreakable NBA records. Did you know Wilt Chamberlain scored 100 points in a 169-147 victory by the Philadelphia Warriors against the New York Knicks on March 2, 1962? The 7-foot-1 center, who once had a stint with the Harlem Globletrotters, hit an astounding 28 of 32 free throws in the record-setting game. And Chamberlain holds the record with 55 rebounds in a 1960 game. Also, another amazing statistic about Chamberlain is he never fouled out in his entire 14-year career, and he has the most double-doubles (points and rebounds in the same game) with 968. The Boston Celtics have a record 18 NBA Championships, and center Bill Russell was part of 11 of the titles. Scott Skiles set the single-game record for assists at 30 with a pass to the basket by Jerry Reynolds on Dec. 30, 1990, against the Denver Nuggets, while Russell Westbrook holds the record for most triple-doubles (points, rebounds and assists) in a single game with 209.
