NBA All-Time Records: 10 Most Unbreakable NBA Records 

#7. 88 Games Played in a Season - Walt Bellamy

Atlanta Hawks Legend Walt Bellamy

Walt Bellamy set one of the weirdest NBA records in 1968 when he played a total of 88 games in an 82-game season. Weird, right? But not quite impossible.

Bellamy started the season playing 35 games for New York before being traded to Detroit. Detroit had played just 29 games for the season when the trade occurred, and therefore Bellamy had a chance to play in their remaining 53 games to take his season total to 88. He successfully completed his season without missing a game, even in the transition period between changing teams, to set a record that will be nearly impossible to break.

The circumstances under which this record was set are incredibly rare and bizarre. In the modern NBA, players rest less and aren't as inclined to play through minor injuries, so even 82 games in a season is rarely seen anymore.

Combine that with the infrequency of mid-season trades, and the unlikelihood of modern players not missing a game when changing teams, and it's easy to see why this will probably never happen again.
