Luka Doncic and Wilt Chamberlain are the only players in NBA history to start a season this way

Luka Doncic joins Wilt Chamberlain as the only NBA players in history to start a season with eight straight games of 30 or more points after pouring 35 on the Toronto Raptors Friday night in a 111-110 victory. Of course, Wilt accomplished this feat twice: once to start the 1959-60 season, and once to start the 1962-63 season. In the 1962-63 season, Chamberlain started the year with 23 straight games of 30 or more points.

So it’s safe to say, we’ll stop covering this specific record simply because were Luka Doncic to match it, he’d have to keep scoring at this rate and play every game between now and the Suns match up on December 5th.
