"What's more impressive: scoring 100 points in a single game or scoring 60-plus points in three straight games twice in the span of a month and a half? Wilt Chamberlain accomplished both during a dominant stretch of the 1961-62 NBA season. Reigning NBA MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is in pursuit of one of Chamberlain's many other NBA scoring records."
"The Oklahoma City Thunder guard scored 26 points in a 123-115 victory against the Portland Trail Blazers on Nov. 30, marking his 93rd consecutive game with 20-plus points. It's the second-longest streak of scoring at least 20 points in NBA history, trailing Chamberlain's streak of 126 games (1961-63). Most consecutive games with 20-plus points 126 - Wilt Chamberlain, 1961-63 93 - Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, 2024-present 92 - Wilt Chamberlain, 1963-64 79 - Oscar Robertson, 1963-64"
Wilt Chamberlain produced multiple historic scoring feats, including a 100-point game and multiple streaks of 60-plus points during the 1961-62 season. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander reached a 93-game streak of scoring at least 20 points, marking the second-longest such streak in NBA history behind Chamberlain's 126-game run from 1961-63. The record lists show leaders across scoring thresholds: LeBron James leads 10-plus game streaks, Chamberlain dominates 30-plus, 40-plus, 50-plus and 60-plus categories, and modern players such as Kevin Durant, Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan, James Harden and Joel Embiid appear among multi-game streak leaders.
