Never thought it could come even close to being done... not with a winning record.  But abrondon won 63 games and got almost 45ppg out of him... Check out the stats:

Amazing.

It's too bad someone hasn't compiled a verified list of most PPG, RPG, APG, etc ever achieved for each player.

Although there would have to be a rule that they play all 82 games or something (to prevent boosting the guy by playing all 48 minutes some games and having off days).

have you never checked the records section?  It's right next to the top25 link when you're on a simleague basketball page.

Most of the individual records are from eons ago, though, so it's kind of a bummer.  Nobody will ever get a shot at rebounds or blocks again... c19 recently did the Wilt ppg one and all of the apg & 3pt% are from this engine (which shows you some of the problems with the current engine).

Also, many of the team records are hard/impossible to beat.  I've had several teams finish the season recently with 135+ppg & 55%+ fg% ... yet neither of those even sniff the record book.

Though I own the points in a game and PPG records (as of December 2009), I've been clamoring forever for them to reset the records, because I honestly don't remember the last time they did...2005? They normally do it for new/major releases and I just haven't seen it happen. I know it would take up more space or what have you, but I think they should monitor monthly records and perhaps player usage, but basically, all that is just wishful thinking, that would make the game more interesting though I think.

I feel like I'm babbling so I'll quit while I'm ahead.

FWIW, has anyone ever gotten a player to 1000 in 3 categories in a season (presumably PTS-REB-AST, it equates to 12.2 per game per cat)? This might be something I give a go with, most obviously with 61-62 O, but who knows.

Thanks for the love, Ash.  I've been trying to keep the sim interesting by coming up with gimmicky teams that still have a measure of success, and it seems to have worked with my Kobe squad. 

Detlef has a good point about minutes though.  If I played Kobe 48 and rested him every so often, he might have been able to get to that 50 point mark.  But since the squad was winning, I didn't want to get too carried away.

That strategy did work on the Stockton assist record though <wink/smile>, and it's giving me a triple-double average for Kidd in another league.

trevor - I sincerely doubt you can even sniff 1000 rebounds on any Oscar season with the current engine.

I hear ya, abrondon.  I've been doing the same thing with OLs recently.  The wilt trip-dub attempt (did it 4 times... 3x with 67-68 Wilt and once with 66-67 Wilt just to see how close I got to the other).  Then I started doing the double Barkley thing... Coincidental that my double barkley crossed over with your huge kobe.  speaking of the wilt trip-dub, i need to post the new stats there...

I respectfully disagree and might give this a go. Might not be the best team, but...

good luck.  His barely over-20% creb% isn't going to get it done.  You might get a triple double, though.  Might.

Not that this needs to be said, but I err on the side of being a stubborn *** thus I'll believe I can do something until it's proven that I cannot. With that said, the odds are probably in your favor, but if anyone is going to eek this out of the Big O, you're looking at him...or reading what he types at least lol.

I won't take a challenge that I can't win with... so that's my thinking.  If you have nobody on your team with more than 20% creb% other than Oscar... then yeah, you might pull it off.  I'm talking like putting Oscar at SF with the worst rebounding guards you can imagine... and bad rebounding big men, too... but then you're not gonna win.

Either way, I wish you luck!  I'd like to see it done.
