Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid has been dominating the NBA with historic performances. He is the first player since Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in 1972 to record at least 12 consecutive games with 30+ points and 10+ rebounds. Embiid has also set a franchise record with a 13-game 30-point streak, joining the likes of Kobe Bryant and James Harden for 13-game 30-point streaks since the NBA-ABA merger. In his latest achievement, Embiid scored a '51 burger', marking his twelfth straight game with at least 30 points and 10 rebounds, tying Wilt Chamberlain's record and trailing only behind Abdul-Jabbar's 16-game streak. Embiid now has the seventh-most 50/10 games in NBA history, surpassing Bob Pettit. His Rolling Player Rating has reached a career-high of 34.77. He is also the third player since the NBA-ABA merger to average 35+ PPG over the first 24 games of a season, joining James Harden and Michael Jordan. Embiid's 35.1 PPG this season are the most by a center since Wilt Chamberlain in 1964, and he is on pace to become the 2nd player since 1954-55 to finish a season with more points than minutes played (34.1 MPG), a record currently only held by Chamberlain.
