(Boulder-CO) Today's date is March 28th, and on this day:
'44- Rick Barry was born in Elizabeth, New Jersey.
'73- Wilt Chamberlain’s then NBA record streak of 1,045 games without disqualification ended with his retirement. In a career spanning 14 seasons, Chamberlain did not foul out of a single game. Moses Malone, who fouled out of only five games in his NBA career, later had a string of 1,212 games without fouling out.
'82- Kareem Abdul-Jabbar became the 15th man in NBA history to play in 1,000 regular season games, as the Los Angeles Lakers defeated the host Kansas City Kings 109-96.
'87- Dallas Coach Dick Motta became the third coach in NBA history to reach 800 victories as his Mavericks defeated the Washington Bullets 114-107 at Capital Centre.
'90- Chicago’s Michael Jordan scored a regular season career-high 69 points, during the Bulls’ 117-113 road win at Cleveland. Only four players in NBA history had scored more points in a single game up to that point: Wilt Chamberlain, David Thompson, Elgin Baylor and David Robinson. Kobe Bryant joined this elite list with a second best 81 points against the Toronto Raptors in 2006.
'95- Boston’s Dominique Wilkins scored 19 points in a 126-115 win at Miami, moving past Jerry West and into eighth place on the NBA’s all-time scoring list with 25,207 points.
Enjoy your day!
