About NBA Records

NBA records cover more than scoring. They include individual performances, career achievements, season totals, team records, winning and losing streaks, playoff accomplishments and unusual statistical games.

Some statistics have important historical limitations. The NBA did not officially record blocked shots and steals until the 1973-74 season, so players from earlier eras may have produced performances that cannot be included in the official record book.
