The Most Dubious Statistical Records In NBA History

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s career is littered with league records. The Hall of Fame center is first all-time in points, minutes played and field goal attempts alongside top-five placement in rebounds and blocks. Pair those accomplishments with six MVP’s and 15 All-NBA selections, and you get arguably the most decorated career in league history.

The charge placed him in first place all-time in fouls committed, moving past previous leader Elvin Hayes.
