Wilt the Stilt

50 years ago today,  Wilt Chamberlain set the 2nd Most Impressive record of his career.

Facing the New York Knicks at Hershey Sports Arena, Wilt Chamberlain scored 100 points, shattering the previous record, his own, of 78.  The Philadelphia Warriors,won that game by a fairly narrow margin (169-147), so Wilt's team needed every one of his 36 FGM to clinch the victory.

This was just one of many records to be set in Wilt Chamberlain's Hall of Fame career.  That same 1961-62 season, Chamberlain also averaged 50.2 PPG and 25.7 Rebounds, both current records.

Let's take a look at some of the record setting numbers Wilt the Stilt produced:

Wilt's Records & Achievements
  • Points In A Game (100)
  • Rebounds In A Game (55)
  • 50-Point Games In A Season (45) 
  • Consecutive Triple-Doubles (9)
  • Most PPG In A Season (50.2)
  • Most RPG In A Season (25.7)
  • Most MPG In A Season (48.5)

During Chamberlain's time, defensive statistics like blocks and steals had not been recorded yet. However, according to Jack Ramsay:

"Harvey said he used to tell one of his statisticians to keep track of Wilt's blocks in big games...One night, they got up to 25."
