The answer of Chris Paul to this compliment was also great:

Modesty is a good thing. Especially if you see it on worldwide known stars. (20.11.2013)

Chris Pauls moved the record one game further which he took from "Magic" Johnson. He did his 13th consecutive double-double starting the season. It's his 14th double-double including last season. It seems that a new record is on the way. (21.11.2013)

NBA Digest (15th November 2013)

Timberwolves broke their franchise record of highest points made in the first quarter with 47 points during the game against Lakers. It's very meaningful to break this record against Lakers in Staples Center. Timberwolves won the game 113-90 (10.11.2013)

Pacers beat Nets with 96-91 in a playoff-like game in Brooklyn and remained unbeaten in NBA so far. Pacers have 7-0 and this is their franchise record. We'll see who will let them taste their first loss. (10.11.2013)

During the game against Bobcats in Charlotte Kyle Korver made a three pointer in his 80th consecutive games and became 2nd. He needs to make ten 3-points to pass Dana Barros and become 1st. Hawks won the game 103-94. (11.11.2013)

Rockets beat Raptors at home 110-104 after double overtime. (11.12.2013)

The game between Kings and Nets was Kevin Garnett's 1330th game in NBA. So he passed Moses Malone and became 10th. Kings won the game 107-86 (13.11.2013)

The streak of Kyle Korver of Hawks goed on. He made two 3-points more during the match against New York Knicks and made it 81 games with a 3-pointer made. Hawks lost the game 95-91. (13.11.2013)

NBA Digest (08th November 2013)

Nets beat Heat with 101-101 after a playoff-like game at home. The comment of Kevin Garnett, Nets' new transfer from Celtics, about the win was quite cool: "Determination. I think we wanted this one more." Nets ended 14 games losing streak with this game Nets' last win against Heat was on 20th March 2009 with 96-88. Heat has 17 wins in last 18 games. WOW! (01.11.2013)

LeBron James scored 35 points in the match against Raptors. So he made it 500 consecutive games scoring double digit being 5th player in the NBA history. The record is held by Michael Jordan with 866 consecutive games scoring with double digits. Then comes Kareem Abduljabbar with 787 and 508 consecutive games. Then another legend Karl Malone with 575 games. Well what does all these numbers mean: Stability brings success. (05.11.2013)

Consecutive Double Digit Games Record

There are lots of statistics in NBA and this generates a lot of records. One of these records is: Consecutive Double Digit Games.

Legendary Michael Jordan holds this record with 866 games. To better understand how big this number is think of that in a normal season 82 games are played. Michael Jordan played almost 10 years long with double digit scoring about 10 years somewhere in his career. Awesome!!!

On 5th November 2013 LeBron James scored 35 points against Toronto Raptors and this was his 500th consecutive double digit game. So he became 5th player in NBA history to reach this.

Ranking is below:

1) Michael Jordan 866 consecutive games
2) Kareem Abduljabbar 787 consecutive games
3) Karl Malone 575 consecutive games
4) Moses Malone 526 consecutive games
5) Kareem Abduljabbar 508 consecutive games
6) LeBron James 500 consecutive games

By the way another legendary Kareem Abduljabbar reached 500 consecutive double digit games two times in his career. And this explains why he is all time scoring leader in NBA.

LeBron James could find himself a place among the legends at least statistically. We will see if he will become a real legend in the end of his career. King can do it!

NBA Digest (1st November 2013)

The 2013-14 season of NBA finally started. I'll try to publish "NBA Digest" series every week from the point where I have paused last season.

The 2013-14 season started on 29th November 2013 with the game Pacers vs. Magic. Pacers won the game with 97-87. (29.10.2013)

The inflated fake star Derrick Rose of Bulls returned after a very long time of 18 months to the fields with the game against Heat. He scored only 12 points with 1/7 three-point shots, 3/8 two point shots. (And 3/4 free throws.) Heat won the game 97-87 as expected. (29.10.2013)

Timberwolves beat Magic with 120-115 in the first overtime game of 2013-14 season. (30.10.2013)

NBA Digest (29th March.2013)

25! Miami Heat! Miami Heat: 103 Detroit Pistons: 89. (22.03.2013)

15. Denver Nuggets. Denver Nuggets: 101 Sacramento Kings: 95 (23.03.2013)

26! Miami Heat:109 Charlotte Bobcats: 77 (24.03.2013)

Miami Heat reached 27. Orlando Magic:94 Miami Heat: 108 (25.03.2013)

Get 15 consecutive wins and then lose against the the 3rd worst team in the East with a 24 point deficit. Unbeliavable! Nuggets couldn't move the series to 16. Nuggets lost against Hornets with 110-86. So the streak ended in 15 in New Orleans. (25.03.2013)

27 and the end. Heat lost against Bulls with 101-97 in away game. So they remian the 2nd in all time winning streak in NBA. They got a very succes which is very hard to achieve. They also showed their claim for the championship just before 1,5 months of the playoffs. Heat and James are much more better than last year. Very exciting playoff games are ahead I think.
