I was going to comment on Wilt as well.
Though I think Robertson would have the longest consecutive game streak of Triple Doubles, given he had 41 in one season. Could be wrong though. Bad luck on his part.
I remember Michael Jordan was 3 rebounds away from 11 triple doubles in a row in 1989 when they put him at point guard for a bit. In the 8th game of that stretch he only pulled down 7 rebounds. That year was ridiculous for Michael, as he lead his team in each of the 5 primary statistical categories (points, rebounds, assists, blocks, and steals). I don't think that's necessarily a record, but still damn impressive for a "smaller" player in the game at the time.
Jordan's record of 3 retirements in the NBA is pretty impressive His 41.0 PPG average in the 1993 Finals will probably stand for a while as well.
Wilt's 100 point game will likely never be broken. The game was a bit of a gong show. New York started fouling other players on purpose to stop Wilt from getting 100, so Philly started fouling on purpose as well to stop the clock to give Wilt more time. He was 28-32 from the free throw line that game. Not bad for a career 50% free throw shooter! 55 rebounds in a single game seems pretty high as well.
Probably not unbreakable, but Nate Archibald lead the league in both assists and points one year. No one else has done that. Steve Nash better pick up his scoring!
The 8 consecutive championships by the Boston Celtics will probably never be broken. Free Agency makes it too difficult.
It will likely be tough for anyone to contest Bill Russell for his 11 NBA championships. Especially since it was only in 13 years!
Malone came close, but I think people might have a hard time catching Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's all time point record. As a point of interest, Kareem was the first player that Wilt Chamberlain can remember feeling that he may need help to guard. Likewise, his minutes played will be tough to top. He played a lot for the Bucks and Lakers early in his career. Though I don't know if many will threaten Wilt Chamberlain averaging over 48 minutes a game (which is the length of regulation). The year he scored over 50 PPG, he only missed 4 minutes all season. So with OT games, he averaged more than 48 minutes per game.
Stockton has some with longevity, with assists and steals being difficult ones to top.
Wilt and Bill Russell get screwed over, but Hakeem Olajuwon has a healthy lead in blocked shots.
