FAQs

What is the record for most blocks in an NBA game? ›

Mark Eaton holds the all-time records for total blocks (456) and blocks per game (5.56) in a season; both achieved in the 1984–85 season. Manute Bol holds the rookie records for total blocks and blocks per game when he had 397 and averaged 5.0 in the 1985–86 season.

The official record for most blocks in a single game is 17. There is at least one game from 1968 that was televised where Wilt has 23 blocks. The team statistician recorded at least one game with 25 blocks.

On 11/20/1993 Shaq records his career-high in blocks sending away 15 shots!

In NBA history, only Wilt Chamberlain is believed to have ever achieved the elusive quintuple-double and even that stat line is disputed. As a member of the Philadelphia 76ers in a 158-128 win over the Lakers in 1968, Chamberlain had 53 points, 32 rebounds, 24 blocks, 14 assists and 11 steals.

The shortest player to ever lead the league in block was 6′9″ Ben Wallace, who averaged 3.5 in 2002. Theo Ratliff, Alonzo Mourning and Serge Ibaka were all 6′10″ players who led the league in blocks multiple times each. Every other player to lead the NBA in that category has been 6′11″ or taller.

IN 1988 Michael Jordan became the 1st player in NBA history to record 100 blocks and 200 steals in a season and then turned around and did it again the following season .

Russell said once that he estimated he and Wilt *averaged* 8–10 blocks per game. So you have to assume in that in those 78 games he would have had a number with 10+ blocks.

The record for most consecutive NBA games scoring 50 points or more belongs to Wilt Chamberlain (USA), with 7 consecutive games whilst playing for the Philadelphia Warriors, in December 1961.

Did Wilt Chamberlain ever foul out of a game? ›

Chamberlain never fouled out of a regular-season or playoff game in his 14 years in the NBA. His career average was only 2 fouls per game, despite having averaged 45.8 minutes per game over his career.

Elmore Smith has denied the most shots in a game, with 17 blocks versus the Trail Blazers on October 28, 1973.

He averaged 3.09 blocks and 1.75 steals per game for his career. He is the only center to rank among the top ten all-time in steals. Olajuwon was also an outstanding rebounder, with a career average of 11.1 rebounds per game.

The Detroit Pistons achieved this record feat 41 years ago. The 2024 NBA All-Star Game was held in Indianapolis, Indiana. It was a high-scoring game, with the Eastern All-Stars defeating the West 211-186.

Hakeem Olajuwon has the most such triple-doubles — with blocks — since the stat started being officially recorded in the NBA. He did it 11 times, one more than Dikembe Mutombo and two more than Spurs Hall of Famer David Robinson. Robinson had nine such triple-doubles — one of them being a quadruple-double.

Only four players in NBA history have achieved a quadruple-double, which is when a player records double digits in four statistical categories in a single game. None of them have accomplished this feat in the 21st century. The last one to do so was David Robinson in 1994 while playing for the Spurs.
