Wilt Chamberlain

[Big164]

Has more NBA records than Kareem , Lebron, MJ combined.


Thanks for playing.

[1987_Lakers]

Does he have the all-time scoring record?

[Axe]

What kinds of records? Like many historic playoff chokes in the dinosaur era?

[SouBeachTalents]

All those records and only title titles :(

[SaltyMeatballs]

Y'all talk about how we're in the inflated stats era but the era that Wilt played in was the most inflated era of stats in the history of any sport

This. Plus the fact that there wasn't even a three-point line bt. :confusedshrug:

It should be noted that if you take Wilt out of the equation there have only been 30 to 45 games of 60+ points in Nba history

as (Wilt had 32 by himself.)


Or only 28 30-30 games (Chamberlain had 103 on his own.)

Or only six 40-30 games (Chamberlain had 55.)

And If you take Wilt and his four highest-scoring seasons out from Nba history then MJ's 37.1 ppg would be the all-time record, and James Harden who plays today would be next at 36.1 ppg along with Rick Barry at 35.6 ppg then Kobe at 35.4 ppg.

BTW, Kareem's 34.8 ppg in '72 (also in the Chamberlain-era), is 10th all-time, and Baylor's 60-61 season of 34.8 ppg is 11th.


Furthermore.

Most 50-point games in a decade:

5 Wilt, 4 Mikan (1947-60)

113 Wilt, 14 Baylor (1961-70)

9 Kareem, 7 Barry (1971-80)

20 Jordan, 6 King, 6 Wilkins (1981-90)

10 Jordan, 3 Shaq, 3 D Rob (1991-2000)

24 Kobe, 9 Iverson, 8 LeBron (2001-10)

23 Harden, 12 Lillard, 10 Curry (2011-22)



strike Chamberlain from the record book, and the numbers are far more normal across all eras.


Here is also a fun fact.



It took everyone combined in NBA history 43 years after Wilt's retirement in 1973 to match the number of 60-point games Wilt had in his career.


Also, Wilt has 15 games over 65 points compared to everybody else in NBA history just having 8.

[Full Court]

True OP. That's why Wilt is a top three player of all time.

:cheers:

[ImKobe]

It's crazy how many records he has, and they didn't even count his blocks! His resume gets more impressive as you dig through his history. He didn't win enough like Bran though so that's why he can't be in the GOAT convo.

[Jasper]

laugh at these threads : Wilt and Kareem had taken 1 3 point made , while bron was jacking 3's all day long.

50 Point Games:

Wilt Chamberlain = 118

Jordan(31)Kobe(24)Lebron(14)Steph(11)Kareem(10)KD( 9) = 100

A singular player does not an era meet.
