Basketball Players who Purposely Avoided Records: #nba

When Basketball Players Purposely Avoided Records: In 2005 Jermaine O’Neal scored 55 Points in a Pacers Game against the Bucks, the game was a blowout 116-99, but he purposely snubbed himself out, so he doesn’t tie or surpass 57 Points, which is the Single Game Scoring Record held by Reggie Miller. Jordan Bo-Hannon of the Iowa Hawkeyes was about to break the Iowa NCAA record of 34 free throws made in a row. But He pointed to the sky and missed his 35th Free Throw on Purpose to honor the Record Set by Chris Street, who sadly passed away in a Car Accident just three days after his original Record. Jordan wanted Chris’s record to stay as a way to keep his memory alive. LeBron could have potentially held the Record for the most starts in a Row, which is held by Chris Paul with 1,365 Starts in a Row, but in 2007 LeBron Purposely came off the bench because Anderson Varejao was about to play his First NBA game of the 07 season after a 2 month contract hold out. To Help Boost Anderson’s morale, He came off the bench with him at the same time to avoid the Crowd from Booing him. At the time LeBron had 333 starts in a row, had he not purposely snapped it, he would be the record holder not Chris Paul.
