NBA's Longest Winning Streaks

Before the Lakers won 33 in a row, the Bucks held the NBA record thanks in large part to second-year center Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (then named Lew Alcindor) and Oscar Robertson, who was acquired from the Cincinnati Royals before the 1970-71 season. Abdul-Jabbar averaged a league-leading 31.7 points in the regular season, and then claimed the first of his six NBA titles.
