For every unbelievably great NBA record, there's also one that's unbelievably embarrassing. These are the best versus worst NBA records. At first up, we got Rudy Gobert with an absolutely wild record. Because for a guy known for protecting the rim, he just straight violated it for the entire year. Back to Gobert, take it up, big man.
**SPEAKER_2** (0:20)
Oh, hammer down.
**SPEAKER_3** (0:22)
They're handling the ball okay.
**SPEAKER_4** (0:23)
Oh, inside Gobert and a foul.
**SPEAKER_1** (0:27)
Some of those are just magic, but nowhere near as magical as the record itself. 306 dunks in a single year. Gobert was looking like he was supposed to be on the Globetrotters, but he's not the only player who put on a show for his record. Because even though Lebron's one of the greatest all time, he's given up the ball more than anyone else in history. Sometimes because he went for a quarterback slide out of nowhere. Sometimes because he got lost in the sauce. But sometimes, it's just him straight up choking.
And with those awful giveaways taken into account, Lebron sits at 5,000 career turnovers and counting. But to be clear, as bad as this stat is, most guys never even get enough minutes to even get that many turnovers. And some guys spend their time differently anyway. Like when Draymond Green posted one of the strangest triple doubles ever. Because during the Lakers game against the Grizzlies, he only hit 4 points. But despite scoring less than Ben Simmons, he still hit 12 rebounds, 10 steals, 10 assists, and 5 blocks.
**SPEAKER_6** (1:31)
Draymond's done it. There's the new Warrior franchise record. The first triple double in franchise history, not including points.
**SPEAKER_1** (1:37)
Draymond was straight up hacking the game that night, unlike James Harden, who looked like he was the one getting hacked in 2016
**SPEAKER_6** (1:45)
Harden's lost the ball again.
**SPEAKER_1** (1:47)
Although Harden once set a record for the most turnovers in a playoff game, somehow, that's not even his worst record. In the 2016-17 season, he coughed up the ball 464 times. And yet, the crazy part, he was the MVP finalist that year. They really just be giving nominations to anyone these days, but someone who definitely got the vote they deserved was Dwight Howard. As you can see, Dwight Howard was the kind of big where you didn't guard him, you raced for impact. Broga turned every missed shot into a second chance and every lobbed into domination. But Dwight wasn't just flashy for the camera. He owns the record for 2,950 career dunks. Shaq is obviously the next closest, and even he is off by over 300 To be fair though, when you watch Dwight hit him, it just hit different.
My man was out there playing NBA Jam in real life, which is something that is seriously rare, cuz scoring in the NBA is hard, and assists are like brain surgery. But steals are basically a gamble. Blocks are just jumping at the right time and rebounds, but that pretty much just go wherever who wants it more. And yet, during the Heat's game against the Trail Blazers in 2011, my man Joel Anthony, he couldn't get anything for a record 28 minutes and 46 seconds.
**SPEAKER_2** (3:06)
Oh my, nobody home. Joel Anthony just threw it into the seats.
**SPEAKER_1** (3:10)
You know how hard going 0, 0, 0, is? Anthony could have blocked the shot with his face, and he would have gotten at least something. It's even hard to show how bad it was. I mean, this vid is literally titled, Joel Anthony's First Half Highlights, and the only thing to see is him running. What? But you never guess who holds this next record. I mean, everyone thinks they know who the youngest player ever is. But Andrew Bynum is actually the youngest NBA player of all time. And at just 18 years and six days old, he was forced to face the Diesel himself.
**SPEAKER_2** (3:39)
Passed out of three, kicks the two.
Oh, and Shaquille O'Neal. Bynum will remember for the rest of his life. Yes, he will.
**SPEAKER_1** (3:52)
Shaquille was out here practically bullying a 17-year-old, but not every young player can get psyched out that easily. And this is the one that everyone actually knows. Kobe Bryant, the youngest all-star starter ever.
**SPEAKER_5** (4:03)
They might be only 18 years and five months old, but this guy can do everything that the veterans can do and do it better perhaps.
**SPEAKER_1** (4:09)
The fact that they already are saying he was better than veterans at 18 is seriously unreal. Ronnie just turned 21 and he ain't hitting veteran level in 50 lifetimes, but I'd rather have Ronnie's life than whatever has happened to Jalen Brown, because he's got one of the weirdest bad records of all time, the league leader in hairline turnovers.
