McGrady 35 seconds 13 points, Magician rookie FMVP, Chamberlain s 100 points, which is more difficult

On December 9, 2004, the Rockets played against the Spurs at home, and the final stage of the game became a classic microcosm: In the last minute, Toyota Center fans began to leave the court; in 35 seconds, the probability of victory was only 0.4%. But Tracy McGrady, the man wearing the Rockets One jersey, rewrites the ending with "Impossible" - hitting four consecutive three-pointers (including one "three plus one"), scoring 13 points with 100% shooting percentage, helping the Rockets reverse 81-80.

Spurs coach Popovich said bluntly after the game: "I executed the correct tactics, but met God." After that, Murray tried to catch up at 32 seconds and Millsap 28 seconds and 11 seconds, but because of the defensive strength and modern NBA tactical standards (emphasizing free throws and reducing the chance of continuous fast scoring), the "McDy Moment" became an unreplicable miracle. Want to break it? The opponent needs four consecutive defensive mistakes + 100% hit rate + key steals, the right time, place and people are indispensable.

In the NBA, the rookie wins FMVP? Magic Johnson did it. In the 1980 Finals, Lakers core Jabbar was absent. At the age of 20, he topped the center. G6 scored 42 points, 15 rebounds and 7 assists, averaging 21.5 points, 11.2 rebounds, 8.7 assists, 2.7 steals in the series, and 57% shooting percentage was elected as the FMVP.

He is the only rookie FMVP in the NBA and the youngest FMVP (20 years old), with a rookie contract of only $400,000 (about 1.6 million today). This record is difficult to break because it requires "absolute talent + top ball merchandiser + perfect opportunity": the team has a championship lineup, core injury, and dividends of the times (the tactics in the 1980s are different from those now). The superposition of the three is to achieve the "love letter" written by basketball to the Magician.

On March 2, 1962, the Warriors beat the Knicks 169-147, Chamberlain made 36 shots in a single game and 28 free throws with 32 free throws, scoring 100 points. There was no TV broadcast in this game, with only more than 4,000 viewers on the scene. The Knicks' "shark-cutting tactic" in the last 20-year-old (at the time when he was targeting the coach) made him, with a free throw percentage of 50% of the season, and the photos left were only "one hundred points" at the break.

Modern basketball wants to hit this record? The stars need to play for 48 minutes (now due to load management, it is rare for stars to average more than 40 minutes per game), maintaining efficiency and increasing three-point shots. But the reality is that no team will allow opponents to take 60+ shots in a single game, not even Doncic or Jokic. The "percent myth" of the coach is the product of personal ability and specific history. For example, he joked: "Now I don't allow it to play for forty-eight minutes now."

These records are rooted in different eras: McGrady's moment is a microcosm of "star singles victory" in the 2000s; Magician FMVP witnessed the opportunity of "rookies are core" in the 1980s; Chamberlain's 100% points originated from the ancient basketball "loose offense and defense + big shots of stars".

The modern NBA has more complex tactics, stricter load management, and changes in defensive strength and rules, making these records even more "out of reach". But it is this "hard to break" that makes them a classic that fans repeatedly recall and witness the diversity and heaviness of basketball history.
