Looks like Kareem did it since Wilt.

Still elite company. However, it did go into two overtimes (but some of the people on the list went to 1 overtime so...)

I think Oscar Robinson (pound for pound) should be looked at as the best basketball player ever overall.

Ah--BBRef doesn't have complete game log data for games in the 70's, so Kareem's game didn't show up in the query.
 
31 blocks? Holy criminy! Even in college that is a sick number. I actually don't even believe it. Division 1 record is 17 but Bol played in Division 2.

17 is the record in the NBA and Manute has had 15 in the big leagues twice.

That locker room deserves it's own reality show. They should call it "Drama Queens and Imbeciles".

They call a team meeting and immediately start pointing fingers at the guy who played the first three minutes of a 148-point beat down. WTF??? How about a little accountability from the guys who were actually on the floor giving up 148 points and 16 offensive rebounds in a regulation game? Really??? Those morons thought MORE Kevin Love is the answer to their defensive woes?

If you're going to bash a teammate for his poor defense, at least be consistent. If Love is the root of their defensive struggles, why didn't the guys doing the bitching step up and show him how it's done? Nope, instead, they roll over, give up 148 points and then immediately point the finger at him? Oh, the irony. Hey guys, try looking in the mirror sometime. You got your collective asses handed to you, and it wasn't Love's fault.

I also find it deliciously ironic that Cleveland's biggest problem is the lack of rim protection. The only reason CLE has a championship was after Bogut went down, GSW had no rim protection, which turned the final three games of that series into a lay-up drill for LeBron & Co. Well, that was an injury. CLE's problem is much bigger. They don't have a single rim protector on their roster. The entire season has been a lay-up drill for their opponents. Adding Isaiah Thomas to the roster hasn't helped.

But, it's cool that they have resorted to infighting and finger pointing. Let them keep thinking that will solve their problems.

It's possible that LBJ is just paving the road to his exit.... so he doesn't look so bad leaving again.

In the OKC game that spurred the team meeting and subsequent finger pointing, he played like he's already gone. 18 points, 3 rebounds and -33 in 38 minutes. He was outplayed by all three of Westbrook, George and Anthony. Hell, he got outplayed by Steven Adams.

On the other hand, why was he still even in the game with 7 minutes left and his team down by 29? Maybe putting up a facade that he still cares?

You have to consider the competition. What's more surprising to me is the 32 points. Bol had more double digit BLK games than double digit scoring games in his NBA career. He also averaged more BLK/G (3.3) than PTS/G (2.6). For Manute to score 32 points, the competition had to be pretty weak.

Does anybody else see how bad IT looks in Cleveland? He looks exactly like he did before he got to Boston and became a MVP level talent. I’m sure some of it is getting acclimated after injury, but he looks like a shell of himself out there.
 
Holy shit just noticed Kobe got nominated for an Oscar this morning for Animated Short.

Same with Crowder. Well, he was never a MVP level talent, but he's fallen off a cliff in CLE.

And then there is Turner...

Be afraid, be very afraid, of acquiring former Celtics. They are fool's gold. Damn that Brad Stevens for making them look better than they are.

I was just about to say, a Hollywood awards show probably isn't the best place for someone with his, uh, records.
 
Starting lineup changes in CLE?

Lue_Tyronn_cle_150102.jpg


Tyronn Lue is prepared to change up the Cavaliers' starting lineup as they continue to struggle in January.

"I'm gonna make a change," Lue said.

The Cavaliers' current starting lineup consists of LeBron James, Kevin Love, J.R. Smith, Jae Crowder and Isaiah Thomas.

"When you're trying to play faster than you're capable of playing," Lue said. "You're used to playing fast and turn the corner and your legs are not quite there, he fell four or five times trying to do that. His speed is gonna take a little while so he can't get down on himself, can't get frustrated."
