Basketball fans love to talk about the amazing NBA Finals records. 61 points, 40 rebounds, 21 assists, 9 blocks, 7 steals!
First of all, we have to mention the 100-point record of the legendary Wilt Chamberlain. On March 2, 1956, during the game between the Philadelphia Warriors and the New York Knicks, Chamberlain set this terrible record. Well, while 61 points is quite a remarkable achievement, beating 100 points seems a bit out of reach.
Next, let's take a look at the Timberwolves' Kevin Garnett's performance against the Lakers in Game 5 of the 2004 Finals. He scored 32 points, 21 rebounds and four assists that night. This record is unprecedented in history, and no one has been able to match it to this day.
Remember the 2016 Finals, where the Warriors faced off against the Cavaliers, and Stephen Curry hit 13 three-pointers in Game 4, setting a single-game three-point shooting record. This record has not been broken so far, and it makes people look forward to whether there will be more amazing performances in the future.
Blocks and steals in the Finals are also a striking part. In 1991, the Bulls' Michael Jordan scored six blocks in Game 2 against the Lakers, a record that still stands. And in 1975, the Golden State Warriors' Rick Barry had seven steals in Game 2 against the Washington Bullets, one of the records that no one has ever broken.
Doesn't these records sound unbelievable? They represent some of the best players in NBA history, achieving unsurpassed feats in the most important games. While new records may be set, these single-race records seem to have become legends and will forever be in the annals of history.
On the basketball stage, opportunities to fight and make history are everywhere. Perhaps one day, a player will be able to break these seemingly unbeatable records and bring us more shocks and surprises. But until that day comes, we should cherish these records and consider them the greatest feat in basketball history.
