“8StarMatch has the news on that. We keep the record of it.”
8StarSports · The Records · NBA foundation pack. Compiled October 19, 2026.
As-of basis (applies to every table): NBA regular-season totals through the end of the 2025-26 season. The 2026-27 season is about to begin and no 2026-27 statistics are included. Players still active are marked † and will move; their figures are frozen at the snapshot. Playoffs are excluded everywhere. Categories: the seven commissioned by Jason S. Jackson — Points; Rebounds; Assists; Steals; Blocks; Three-Pointers; Triple-Doubles. Career boards are Top 25 and single-season boards are Top 10 (house depth ruling, Oct 19, 2026). Where a tie sits on the cut line, the full tie group is printed and flagged rather than sliced arbitrarily. ABA basis: ABA statistics are never merged into these NBA boards. Where an ABA-inclusive (combined) total would change a famous ranking, that is printed as a one-line note under the board — never as a merged table. Verification: every total in the main tables was corroborated by two independent sources actually fetched during research. Source pairings per board, the disputes register, and rejected sources are in the companion file
nba-sources-and-notes.md. Disagreements are printed there, never silently resolved here; inline flags (⚠) mark the rows they touch.

First below the cut: Reggie Miller, 25,279; Jerry West, 25,192. ⚠ Moses Malone's 27,409 is his NBA-only total (Basketball-Reference combined 29,580 minus his 2,171 ABA points, 1974-76) — flagged DERIVED in the companion file (D-8); it is also the figure carried by the standard published NBA-only scoring list, where he sits 12th. ABA note (printed, not merged): on a combined NBA+ABA basis, Julius Erving scored 30,026 points — which would rank 9th on this board. His NBA-only total is 18,364 (11,662 came in the ABA), which does not reach the Top 25. The same combined basis would also lift Dan Issel (27,482 combined; 14,659 NBA) and George Gervin (26,595 combined; 20,708 NBA) onto the board's lower half. This board is NBA only, per house basis.

Basis / era note: rebounds have been an official NBA statistic since 1950-51; the offensive/defensive split dates only from 1973-74 and is not used here. No player from the league's first four seasons can appear on this board.

First below the cut: Patrick Ewing, 11,607; Andre Drummond, 11,513. ABA note (printed, not merged): Moses Malone's combined NBA+ABA rebound total is 17,834, which would rank 3rd on a combined basis, between Russell and Abdul-Jabbar. His NBA-only 16,212 (above) ranks 5th. This board is NBA only.
Sources: [S10] iWeblists all-time single-season rebounds table + [S8] StatMuse — exact agreement on all ten rows (the combined-basis source table's top ABA entry, Spencer Haywood's 1,637 in 1969-70, sits far below this cut and does not touch the board).

First below the cut: Jrue Holiday, 6,762. Stockton's lead over No. 2 is 3,254 assists — he also holds the steals record (§4); no other player leads two of these seven boards outright except where noted.
Sources: [S8] StatMuse single-season totals table + [S12] JRANK Stockton biography cross-check ("seven of the nine seasons of 1,000 or more assists in league history" are Stockton's — the nine 1,000-assist seasons are exactly ranks 1–9 of this table, confirming its shape).

| 9 | John Stockton | 1,011 | Utah Jazz | 1994-95 |
| 10 | John Stockton | 987 | Utah Jazz | 1992-93 |
Stockton owns eight of the ten slots and seven of the nine 1,000-assist seasons ever recorded. His 1989-90 entry (1,134) came in only 78 games — it remains the per-game record season at 14.5 assists per game.
Basis / era note (required reading for this board): steals became an official NBA statistic only in 1973-74. Nothing before that season was recorded — the early careers of players who debuted before 1973-74 (and the whole careers of 1950s-60s defenders) are simply absent from this category, through no fault of theirs. The board covers the recorded era only.

Stockton's 3,265 leads No. 2 by 537, and he pairs it with the assists record (§3) — he is the only player who tops two of this pack's seven career boards. Olajuwon (No. 10 here) is the only player in the Top 25 of both the steals and blocks boards.

Robertson holds four of the eleven printed slots, including the record: 301 steals in 1985-86 (3.7 per game), the same season he recorded the NBA's only steals-included quadruple-double. Don Buse's 281 came in 1976-77, Indiana's first NBA season after the merger — an NBA figure, not an ABA one.
Basis / era note (required reading for this board): blocks became an official NBA statistic only in 1973-74, the same season as steals. The blocked shots of Wilt Chamberlain and Bill Russell were never recorded and cannot be listed at any number — any source that prints a career block total for them is inventing it. The board covers the recorded era only. It also short-changes Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: his first four seasons (1969-73) predate the statistic, so his No. 3 total counts only from 1973-74 onward.

Eaton's 456 (5.56 per game) is the record by both total and average. Elmore Smith's 393 came in 1973-74, the very first season blocks were counted — he also blocked 17 shots in one game that October, still the single-game record. Bol's 397 was a rookie season.
Basis / era note (required reading for this board): the NBA three-point line exists only from 1979-80. No earlier player could score a three-pointer in this league, so the board's history begins there. (The ABA used a three-point line from 1967-68; ABA makes are not counted here, per the no-merge basis — and no ABA shooter's combined total would reach this board in any case.)

Curry holds six of the ten slots; his 402 in 2015-16 broke his own record by 116. Only ten 300-three seasons exist in history — this entire table — and the next entry (Harden, 299 in 2019-20) sits one make below both the cut and the 300 mark.
Basis (stated, per house law): a triple-double is double figures in three of the five counting categories — points, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks — in one regular-season game. It is an unofficial statistic: the NBA does not maintain an official triple-double register; the standard count is Basketball-Reference's reconstruction from game logs. Because steals and blocks were not recorded before 1973-74, triple-doubles from before that season can only be built from points/rebounds/assists, and Basketball-Reference itself cautions that a small number of early ones may yet be unaccounted for. Early-career totals (Robertson, Chamberlain, Cousy) should be read with that caveat attached.
