THIS DAY IN NBA HISTORY:

November 15, 1960- Elgin Baylor of the Los Angeles Lakers tallied 71 points, an NBA record at that time, in a 123-108 victory over the Knicks in New York. Baylor’s record lasted less than two years as Wilt Chamberlain scored 100 points against New York on March 2, 1962.

November 15, 1994 - Radio station KAZN-AM in Los Angeles aired a broadcast of the Lakers-Clippers game in Mandarin Chinese, making it the first time an NBA game was broadcast in Chinese in the United States NBA games had previously been broadcast on radio in the U.S. in Spanish and Navajo Indian.

November 15, 1995 - After rejecting seven Toronto shots in Houston’s 96-93 road triumph, the Rockets’ Hakeem Olajuwon becomes the third NBA player to surpass 3,000 career blocks.

November 15, 1997 - With a 96-93 win over Denver, Miami head coach Pat Riley moved past Jack Ramsay (864) for sole possession of fifth-place on the all-time win list.

I love this post - cool!

But I also hate the fact that the NBA didn't track blocked shots when the 2 best were doing their damage - Wilt & Mr. Russell. The Blocked Shots records are like Steals Records to me - they don't mean jack-crap, as Jerry West ( I mean at age 36, he averaged almost 3 a game - as that year they began to keep records!) was probably the greatest thief in NBA history.
