To put it in perspective, wilt has the record for longest streak of 25+ 30+ 40+ games as well and every number in between and nobody has even come close to breaking those records

Yall have never heard a single story about Wilt man lmao dude was obsessed with records and stats he lead the league in assists one year because people said he couldn’t pass (and they were right he hurt his team doing so)

He’d yell at his teammates if they took too many dribbles to where it wouldn’t count for an assist too

Literally not a single person was counting consecutive 20 point games- not even Wilt. It’s just an arbitrary number people assigned meaning to 50 years later.

Oscar wasn’t chasing triple-doubles either. They didn’t mean anything other than a full box score.

it only takes a single bad/average for a normal player game per season to not hold the record. i’m a little surprised lebron didn’t make it happen but it’s not that crazy, considering how many greats since wilt also didn’t make it. difference between peaking and high level consistency

spliffhuxtabIe | Nuggets

Yeah I was thinking that. Getting hurt early in a game, a blowout, or an ejection. Plenty of ways for that streak to reset to zero so salute to Shai for the consistency

it doesnt like an amazing impressive feat until you realize MJ, Kobe, Shaq, KD, Steph, Harden, Wade etc etc couldn’t pull it off even in an era of higher scoring. Shai is the most consistent and efficient offensive force in the league and simply one of the best bucket getters the league has ever seen.

GriffinQ | WAS

Not sure what you mean about them not doing it in an era of higher scoring. The current league average PPG is the highest PPG since 1970.

We are in the best era ever for offense and offenses as a whole are hitting heights they never have, while defenses have been largely hamstrung across the league.

22 points on 13 FTA? He scored less than 20 several times in the post season. The only reason people don’t like to include playoffs in these streak records is because it would kill them. IE: bron scoring 8 pts in the finals. If he didn’t then we all know people would add his playoff games to the streak to make it seem more impressive

Automatic_Gap5317

I don’t see how him being fully healthy through that run makes as much of a difference as how much harder it is to consistently hit 20 today than it was back then, especially for a guy like him.

It’s such a miniscule thing, players get injured and come back and that’s separate from this record.

Glad_Art_6380

8 | 3 hours ago

It’s much more impressive to do it 126 times in 126 games rather than 126 times in 140+ games. Keeping yourself healthy and at peak form the entire time.

I get it tho, people have to defend load management to the death.

Automatic_Gap5317

1 | 10 minutes ago

“load management” and it’s just him being actually injured……

Fundamentally disagree. It does not matter that he didn’t miss a game given the difference in load and stress between the eras. Wilt was jogging and goaltending to 20.

GriffinQ | WAS

3 | 3 hours ago

SGA deserves his flowers, but Wilt did it without interruption; Shai (and any other top scorer in the league in a modern offense) is not playing the number of games in a row that Wilt did when he set the record.

With a quarter left against Golden State, SGA has now scored 20 points or more in 125 consecutive games. One more, and he ties Wilt Chamberlain’s record.
