Baylor had the two highs. Who had it before him Joe Fulks?

Wow. That was a really weak era. Before this post I didn't even know who Elgin Baylor is.

Yup with 63 points

Baylor's high game illustrates just how staggering Wilt's domination of his era really was.

Wilt's high game was, of course, 100 points, which just blows away the next best "non-Wilt" game, of Baylor's 71 (BTW, Wilt also had games of 78, 73, and 73 points...one of them against 6-11 HOFer Walt Bellamy.)

Oh, and remove Wilt from those 14 seasons ('59-60 thru '72-73)...and there were a TOTAL of FIVE 60+ point games....combined. How about Wilt? 32 (yes, 32.)

In fact, Chamberlain's 32 equals all of the other 60+ point games in NBA history...COMBINED.
