2023 World Cup – Accessible for some, probably untouchable for others: here are the individual records to beat in the World Cup, three days before the start of the 2023 edition.
More rooted in the American culture of the NBA, individual records are nonetheless numerous in basketball more broadly international, and in particular in the World Cup, created in 1950 for basketball.
Three days before the start of the 2023 edition, the 19th in history to take place in the Philippines, Japan and Indonesia, here is a small summary of the main individual records in the history of the World Cup, theater, over the years , some memorable performances by players of very high caliber, of all nationalities.
It should also be noted that no one has yet achieved a triple-double in competition. In 2019 in China, Joe Ingles (17 points, 10 rebounds and 9 assists) and Dennis Schroeder (21 points, 10 rebounds and 9 assists) had come close to it, and the Australian winger and the German leader will be in Asia again at the end of the week. To achieve this first triple-double in history, we will rely instead on Luka Doncic ou Josh Giddey.

These are averages from another time with two of the greatest attackers in the history of international basketball.
