So far...both arguments are flawed

Standing Ovation for Kobe Bryant! I remember watching that game in pain. I was injured with two broken fingers that required surgey just days before, and my body was literally shaking in excitement. A shaking hand and that kind of injury doesn't mix.

Since Russell, no one else has come near that 55 revound mark. Since Chamberlain, Kobe has came awful close to that record and LeBron has the talent to do so also when he gets older.

Vote to the left.

Nobody will break either record.

Its the rebounds. Nobody's even had a 40 board game since the end of the 1960's ended. Nobody has had 30 rebounds in a game in about 15 years.

Kobe made a real assault at 100 and showed it is, in a perfect storm, attainable.

Both are great records, and both are hard to break, another one would be the the Blocks record thats about it

rebounds easily, no one will ever break that record, that was an era of short people and this is the new era where people are much bigger, rebounds here, someone will explode and break 100 points... maybe.. kobe or lebron if they took over 50 shots they are able to do that

IN today's game, neither of these can probably be broken. As much as I dont like Kobe, he did come close, but close is not getting there. Same goes for Walton with his 51 boards. Both of these records are unattainable, so I will wait for more arguments before I vote.

Ill just say the rebound record because if you have to fight to get a reboudn from a 6'9 player then everything get harder. Points u can always shoot above someone

Even the person I am arguing against thinks the rebound record can be broken but that's not good enough? Base this on argument and not what you think here people.

"Compare that to rebounds. In second place is Bill Russell with 51... only 4 away. It can definitely be broken."

LOL....Yeah, there's a lot of guys like that around these days.....

^ Hey, got to work with what I got here. Basketball isn't my thing. I'm trying to diversify man.:)

Im just saying that not all records are impossible to break, and I am saying Howard might break the record, I am not blind eitehr, I might as well include him and show some of the flaws then say nobody is gonna break the point record when players have come close to it. Howard hasnt even had 30 rebounds in one game yet. However I would liek to think he might be able to break it.

Wait for Yao Ming Jr. He'll be 10 feet tall and do it!

Totally different game now, scoring is much easier so the 100 will eventually be broken.

No person above 7'6" will ever be successful in the NBA. Knee problems, heart problems, poor ball handling skills, coordination issues, etc.

You're main argument was Russell was only 4 boards behind, but Russell was the same athletic rebounding freak that Wilt was and it was in the same era. Since they both retired nobody has had a 40 board game, whereas since Wilt retired I believe 4 guys have had 70 point games (percentages are roughly the same: 70 points to 100 points, 40 boards to 55 boards).

My vote goes to thaDolph cause he was referencing 8ft. tall players.

7'6 is the final cutoff? Not 7'6 1/2 or 7'7?

FCB82 my dear friend the problem is ur just saying that there is gonna be just one 8-9 player! thats the problem!!! as genetics improve so is height, so its not just gonna be one player, its gonna be a bunch and the same thing is gonna happen. Plus if it gets to that height the rim would go up.
