Kevin Durant/Michael Jordan; Im tired of the disrespect to the one who holds all the records except for the assist records that are all pretty much held by John Stockton. With most the records 2nd place isnt even close. Heres just one example; “Let me tell you a story. It’s about a giant. A basketball giant. Part fable. All real. His name was Wilton Norman Chamberlain…”, Bill Russell, on NBA TV’s “Wilt 100” The other night in Phoenix, Kevin Durant surpassed Michael Jordan’s streak of *40 straight games scoring at least 25 points. A great feat. A monumental achievement. A historic deed. Just don’t call it a record, which some are. Just don’t call it a modern record, which many are. Durant didn’t make it halfway to the record. The record for most consecutive games with at least 25 points is held by that giant of whom Bill Russell spoke. Wilt Chamberlain scored at least 25 points in *106 straight games — the entirety of the 1961-62 season, plus the first 26 games of the 1962-63 season. And there is nothing illegitimate, nothing prehistoric, about that streak. Excerpt from an article by Berry Tramel.
