9-73 record - 1973 76ers

Teams win five games a year by accident, and if this year's Knicks aren't bad enough to do it, who else could?

17 by Elmore Smith vs. the Portland Trail Blazers on October 28, 1973

Unless Yao Ming has a secret 8'6" brother he hasn't told anyone about, this record is never getting broken. The game has changed too much from this time period, especially with the 3 point shot, that teams don't challenge inside any more. Combine that with the ticky-tacky fouls on the interior, the fade-away shot, and guys generally just being scared to get a shot rejected, and it appears unlikely that anyone will even get within 5 blocks of this record ever again.

33 by the Los Angeles Lakers from November 5, 1971, to January 7, 1972

Along the lines of the Celtics home record, NBA teams today mail it in far too often to put together a 33 game winning streak. There's too many factors on the road nowadays for a modern NBA player to stay focused enough to win this many games in a row, and too many baby mamas spread out across each road city to let them get enough rest and relaxation between games to stay fresh and in top condition. Most teams now top out at 11-15 wins in a row, only half the way to the record of the Lakers.

88 by Walt Bellamy, 1968-69

For someone as great a player as Walt Bellamy was (he's in the Knicks Hall of Fame), he has a quirky record in the NBA that will likely never be broken. Walt was traded mid-way through the 68-69 season, only his new team, the Knicks, had played 6 fewer games than the Warriors had at that point in the season. For a trooper like Walt though, this wasn't a problem, as he got the opportunity to suit up for every game his teams played that year, all 88 of them.

Scott Skiles had 30 assists in a single game

40-1 by the Boston Celtics in 1985-86 season

A stellar home record that realistically can be broken if a team ever goes undefeated at home for an entire season. This team had something that most other teams can't dream of having today - chemistry. Combined with a raucous fan base, a team leader that refused to give anything less than 100%, and a guy on the bench who continually told opponents "that's awful", this team only had 1 blip on their record (slackers!). With the modern NBA player, and their "couldn't care attitude", and teams mailing in the regular season to rest up for the playoffs, this record is unbreakable.

16-54 (.229) by the Baltimore Bullets in 1952-53 season

Hard to believe a team who's star player is this guy could lose this many games, but it happened. Even more unbelievable is the fact that they made the playoffs. One can only assume that Gary Bettman was commissioner at this point in NBA history, and that every team made the playoffs like they do now in hockey. As awful as the NBA East currently is, teams need to approach at least a .500 record in order to make the playoffs. With a record not even above the "Clipper Line" (20 wins), this record will never be broken.
