The record for the most fouls in an NBA game is held by Tom Borwinkel who fouled out with 10 fouls. However, there is no official record for the most fouls in a career as players often retire before reaching such a high number. Additionally, different leagues and levels of play may have their own records for most fouls in a game or season.
As of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, the record for the most personal fouls in basketball is held by Karl Malone. Throughout his NBA career, Malone accumulated a total of 4,524 personal fouls. Malone, a Hall of Fame power forward, was known for his physical style of play and his longevity in the league, resulting in a high number of fouls.
