Record Holders
3 marks since 1967| Year | Player | RPG | Stood for |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1969 | Spencer Haywood | 19.5 | still standing |
| 1968 | Mel Daniels | 16.5 | 1 year |
| 1967 | Mel Daniels | 15.6 | 1 year |
The earliest marks here are records only in the sense that nobody had done better yet. Season length, schedule and the rules themselves have all changed, so a figure from the 1870s is not comparable with a modern one and is not offered as though it were.
