What NBA player holds record for most rebounds in a single season?

david lee

No. I believe Lee had 65 in 1999-2000 season. Kevin Garnett had 71 double-doubles in the 2003-04 season. Hakeem Olajuwon had 72 in 1992-93.

This stat is problematic for a few reasons. First, because the NBA started recording blocked shots and steals only since the 1973-74 season, many great historical players such as Mikan, Chamberlain, West, Havelicek, Robertson, Marovich and Robertson would have had tremendous numbers of double-doubles.

Second, double-doubles are ubiquitous these days and thus do not seem to get attention unless its in a streak like Kevin Love getting his 38th consecutive double-double on 2-8-11. Moses Malone had 44 in a row during the 1982-83 season. John Stockton had a 37-game streak of double-doubles in 1989. Some say that Chamberlain had a multi-season 227 consecutive double-doubles.

What is offence in basketball?

In football, the offense is the team in control of the ball moving it toward the opponents goal and attempting to score. There are many different types of football, but in all of them, the offense is the team with the ball trying to score. The defense is: First, the team trying to keep the offense from scoring; And Second, the team trying to get the ball away from the offense.
