    A scrum to be preserved years later in avatar fame on social media...

    Even 24 years after retiring from the Wilt Chamberlain commanded a huge media presence at (1997, at 50, Cleveland)

    Kareem did it in his 1,165 regular-season game. (Wilt, 31,419 points in 1,045 games.) 🐐🐐

    On this date 37 years ago, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar reached 31,421 points, passing Wilt Chamberlain for the most points in NBA history.

    Wonder why the cutoff with the “three-point era?” Maybe this? (h/t )

    Interesting how Wilt posted all those in a span of 17 months, when he had proper scorers as teammates and decided to rev up his passing. 🐐

    Jokic with 16 asssists. Here are the top 10 games with most assists by a center by . So he now has 4 of the top 10 assists performances by a center. It’s just him and Wilt.

    Which makes the best of them — LaMelo Ball, Tyrese Haliburton — all the more impressive.

    Replying to @NickFriedell
    I’m going to give the rookies a free pass on this season. The situation (no summer league, mini camp, full training camp) has stunted the develop for most of these players.

    Another of those burned-into-memory, the games-must-go-on days.

    Forty years ago tonight, Al McGuire said on NBC: "The president was shot. I hope that he comes out alright...I would have preferred not to be on this evening."

    Fans didn’t vote him in as starter? Coaches didn’t pick him as reserve? And All-Star Game was held before this game?

    Russell Westbrook just dropped the NBA's first 30-10-20 game and averages a triple-double. How is he not an All-Star?

    Fournier will be just as pleased years from now when some new guy does it and drags his name again, the way Jamison, Blount and McKenna surely are now.

    Per Elias Sports Bureau, Evan Fournier is the 4th player in the shot clock era to go 0-10 or worse in their debut with a new team, & the first since Antawn Jamison went 0-12 with the Cavs in 2010. The other two were Corey Blount in 2001 & Kevin McKenna in 1983, who each went 0-10

    Nate Thurmond is wearing low cut Converse All-Stars. In ‘73, they probably cost $11 a pair. Amazing any of these players could walk after they retired...

    Great photo. Also featuring the defender, HOF Nate Thurmond, whom Wilt AND Kareem both said gave them the toughest nights.

    This photo of Wilt in the 1973 Western Conference Finals is art.

    “When you get to a fork in the road, take it.” That’s pretty much where the Golden State Warriors are at, trying to serve two agendas this season.

    Bottom line today: The Bulls are going to get more shots at Lonzo Ball or a player of similar skill in the coming years. They weren't going to get another shot at Nikola Vucevic or a player of similar skill anytime soon.
