Translation of the article content into English:
The significance of records is to be broken, and this applies equally in the NBA. When Kareem Abdul-Jabbar retired in 1989, his career total score was set at 38,387 points, and for the next few decades, the media and fans were unanimous in believing that this record would be permanently sealed. However, two years ago, LeBron James surpassed it, and now he has even refreshed the historical total scoring record to 41,000 points.
However, there are some records in the long history of the NBA that are almost impossible to break due to factors such as the era and rules, like towering mountains that cannot be surpassed. So let's take a look at them together.

LeBron James' "411"
With the development of modern basketball, future players' statistics will inevitably become more explosive, so James' 40,000-point record is not impossible to break. However, James' "411" record will undoubtedly be recorded in history and become one of the hardest records to break in the NBA. It should be noted that even if the difficulty is reduced to 30,000 points + 10,000 rebounds + 10,000 assists, no one has been able to achieve this in history, which requires extremely high personal ability, career length, and state stability.

Michael Jordan's Ten Scoring Titles
As the universally recognized greatest player in history, Jordan created countless records that later generations found difficult to match, but the hardest to break is undoubtedly 10 scoring titles. Even top scorers in history like Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, James Harden, and Allen Iverson have never exceeded five scoring titles, while Jordan won 10 in his 15-year career. If it weren't for retiring twice, he might have reached 12.

Two Teams Total Score of 37 Points
On November 22, 1950, the Pistons narrowly defeated the Lakers 19-18, with a total score of only 37 points, setting the lowest total score record in NBA history. In fact, there was no 24-second offensive rule at the time, and leading teams would choose to continuously pass the ball to avoid offense in order to maintain their advantage, resulting in extremely low scores. This record directly prompted the NBA to introduce the 24-second rule later, and this record was also sealed in the river of history.

Bynum's Youngest Appearance Record
On November 2, 2005, in the game between the Lakers and the Nuggets, Bynum, who was only 18 years and 6 days old, came off the bench to set the record for the youngest player appearance in NBA history. Although this record is unremarkable, with the league changing the draft rules—high school students cannot participate in the draft—many talented players need to hone for a year in college before being selected. In other words, if the NBA does not change the rules in the future, Bynum's record will be preserved. -
Chamberlain's Average 48.5 Minutes
Chamberlain is known as the "data harvester" of ancient times, having created numerous records that later generations could not reach, such as 100 points in a single game and an average of 50 points per season. But the most difficult to break is his average playing time of 48.5 minutes in the 1961-62 season. A basketball game lasts 48 minutes, and even the toughest players need to rest for a few minutes, but Chamberlain did not rest for a minute in that season and even "worked overtime" to play extra time, thus creating such an incredible record.
