10 Craziest Stat Lines of Wilt Chamberlain's Career 

Not necessarily, he could just score 55 points the next 4 games to get his average back. But either way, averaging over 50 PPG is ludicrous

avg 50 is only possible in that era

@@sir_sack just fyi wilt in his 50.4 ppg season thr last 15 games ge averaged 75 ppg

@@ziginaigra With today's lack of rules... please, he would smoke the fools out there today for 50 every night...

But his stats are also not as good because he played in a different era where a bunch of rules made him dominant that’s why with lakers he was not that good like for the warriors because of the rule changes

That's nuts

If it was an official stat, Wilt and Russell would easily be as far ahead of the rest of the pack as they are in rebounding.

@AnAverage2KMobilePlayer Mark Eaton currently holds the NBA record for blocks per game at 3.5. So that means even if Wilt did average what you think he would still hold that record and almost double it. And not only that but Mark Eaton owes his NBA career to Wilt Chamberlain. Because Wilt saw him play and talked to him afterwards. This was what happened: “Look young fella, you’re never going to catch that guy,’ Eaton remembered, “And more importantly, it’s not really your job. He said come here, so he grabbed me and he took me out on the court and he put me right in front of the basket and he said you see this basket behind you, your job is to stand here and block shots, your job is to stop the other players from getting to the basket, collect the rebound and then throw it up to the guard, let them go down to the other end and score it and then your job is to kind of cruise up to half court and see what’s going on.”

Thanks !

Actually that 8.8 blocks is for games on film that was preserved. If you look at the stat sheets from the games it would be double digits easy. The stat guy who did the quint game was an official stat keeper for the NBA, and he was tracking blocks and assists (many teams did), but the NBA just did not ingest these stats and keep them in their official records.

He's in the Gods conversation.

I know fans won't credit his stats today bc of changing rules of nba bc of him, but his 48.5 mins per game in 1961-62 is unbreakable and his resiliency is very high than modern stars played

The greatest athlete who ever lived. Period.

Simply a FacT.

@@jameskeller3547 What do you consider research then?

If you get 43 reb then I'm sorry your *ERA IS WEAK* and you're eliminated from the goat convo. That means there were so many missed shots or not enough good competition to grab the boards 🤦🏾 that stat line contradicts Wilts career.

Yes and he only got kicked out of games for ejections.

Block shots and dunking were originally illegal. It's like.... *no fair!* 🤣

Yes, who's the retard in pro basketball that didn't want to record blocks which is very hard thing to do, but record assists, that is simply passing the ball to a player that scores on the play..lol

@@summertyme5748 actually it was never illegal in the NBA to dunk that's just a myth this rule was never in the NBA note I said NBA not NCAA

Might have just simply not crossed their minds to try and record defensive stats.

Wilt's shot blocking ability was insane. Wilt wouldn't just block the ball when the ball was released, he'd often times wait until the ball was on it's way to the hoop then go up and get it at it's apex. To do that you'd have to be not only 7'2" with a crazy wing span, you'd have to be a great leaper to get that high up to be able to block the shot. I've never seen any other center do that as well or as often as Wilt. What Wilt was able to do is just ridiculous!

I LOVE EVERY OF HIS STATS AND RECORDS BUT 49 MPG IN CONVERSE SHOES ONLY ALIEN OR GOD CAN MANAGE TO DO THAT

funniest thing about that game is that Wilt recorded the only 70pts/40reb game and Baylor recorded the only 60pts/30reb/5as game ever. That is how you make a 30 point tripe_double look pedestrian

@@pablogonzalo3330 There is a very good chance that Wilt had 10 or more blocks in that game too.

steals ? you must be joking.

@@williamlawlor5969 wdym?

I wish I could watch Wilt in person, the man was unstoppable. I personally think he is the best player from a playing aspect in terms of what he put up, and could see why people would have him in their GOAT talks.

The 7ers announcer used to count blocks and there were SEASONS where he average 12 and 13 blocks per GAME! 8.8 BLOCKS PER GAME CAREER if you check all those the tapes of the games he played (more of the recordings were towards the end of his career). Unreal.

Only 24 blocks? I still can’t believe these stats. One thing too, Wilt didn’t lie.

U dum wilt could have won 10 championships in a row if he tried but he wanted to be more versatile than dunking

To say MJ is the GOAT is insane when you consider what Wilt did in the '60s year in and year out!

Totally agree... I cannot watch now... hotdogging, traveling, no defense in the lane, carrying the ball, stars protected. the game has been wrecked!

That's a great point in reference to the current all star games but that game in 72 was arguably the best all star game and Chamberlain anchor that 72 laker team with defense, rebounding, outlet passes, picks, and when he had too scoring

In the 70's in all sports it meant something to play in the all-star game and perform. In the last few years the Basketball all-Star game is a joke. Players getting out of the way so the other team could dunk. RIDICULOUS, and not worth my time to watch.

cuz when he's in the conversation he's literally quite simply unmatched

Wilt is simultaneous the greatest and most underrated of all time, fits in with his tendency to make normal what seems impossible.

2 championships with 2 different teams. Michael and Bill won their titles with the same team.

You can say that again.

I am 64 so got to see him play after he moved to join the Lakers. That year the Lakers won 33 in a row and the championship.

Same thing with his head coach in 1962. Chamberlain had already been averaging 40 points a game is first two seasons. His head coach told and that's not enough. We don't have any scores on our team. I'm going to need you to average at least 50 if we're going to have a chance to win. Then Wilt Chamberlain went out and averaged over 50 points a game that season. It still wasn't enough.

When Wilt traveled with the Harlem Globetrotters in '59 waiting for the NBA season to start Wlit would hit a half dozen hook shots from deep in the corner or from mid court, dribble the ball up like a guard, no look passes etc, the guy was a phenom, back then in the early sixties the Harlem Globetrotters were the top entertainment show on TV.

I loved Wilt my best player but he might .not make 3 points at all. So he would score less. He was under the basket. Everybody only shoots 3 pointers like Steve Curry

@@GeorgeYoung-uh5by I have a DVD that shows Wilt making four 3 point shots in a row. He had a fade away jump shot, also he made baskets from mid court. He was simply the Best EVER!

Yes he was also a college track and field athlete, competing in 200 and 400 meters and the triple jump and high jump. There are no official records of his strength but anecdotally he was immensely strong as well. He was probably the greatest athlete of all time.

@@Charon58 his bench pressed 500 pounds at 50 he’s in pretty strokg

Honestly had he went to boston for a college and such he could have been picked since i think they did it based off regions then and just imagine wilt and russell playing on the same team with all those other hof's bro they could have won at least 10 and above.

Please understand, and Wilt played afraid to hurt others, so probably left points and rebounds on the floor.

Believe that game was against the Knicks, in Hershey, PA.

Nah

Yeah and the average nba height was practically the same but just an inch shorter and wilt played against a whole fuck ton of talent. It's a shame that most people have been essentially brainwashed into believing false slanderous narratives.

TRUE🐐🐐🐐🐐

The average height of NBA players has basically stayed static from ‘50’s to The ‘20’s. That was always a BS knock on Wilt. And I always hear there weren’t as many teams?????? If that is your mj argument do the math, dudes mj was beating all those years would have had to buy a ticket to see Wilt play, because that talent pool was not NBA caliber and would not have been on a rooster.and folks talk about a certain player from chicago didn’t sit out games! Wilt didn’t sit out minutes!

@@shaunphillips9693 lol yeah. More insane though to average it tbh. Anyways, still insane how someone can put up numbers like that

@@imthegoat3195 a lot of it just has to do with the fact that Chamberlain had fantastic endurance, and was able to play All 48 minutes a game. If you look at his numbers as per 36, he's averaging 37 points and 19 rebounds a game. That's a little more easy to grasp. Scoring-wise, it wouldn't be much different than one of the best seasons for Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant or James Harden.

@@shaunphillips9693 oh yeah. He did play lots of minutes

Blocks shot probably. But he'd not get many. Most NBA games now are just jack up 60+ 3's a game.

🤣

Yeah thinking basketball take is interesting but lack substance. I don't think he was well informed. Like for one why he was scoring alot, the owner Eddie instructed he wanted him to drop buckets every night. Far as his 20k women, who to say it didn't happen. Fidel Castro claims 35k and no one bats a eye. Also Wilt won his first mvp as a rookie.

@@coachwane Lacked substance? He used footage and advance metrics in order to paint a picture or dress a profile of said player. Most of the times, he is right on the target, despite other RU-vidrs or TV analysts barely scratching the surface. The Jordan's analysis was the perfect example. He talked about a lot of things older fans like me were saying about Jordan's game. Nowadays, his fans and ESPN are basically saying Jordan is perfect, which is a lie. On another note, scoring a lot of points was flattering Chamberlain's ego too. In the book : "Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell and the Golden Era of Basketball", page 192 : Chamberlain was unyielding to his coach demands : Hannum asked Wilt to take fewer shots, set a few shots for his teammates (passing out of the blocks), running to protect his own basket (on some possessions, Chamberlain was just trotting on defense). The coach ask Chamberlain to change and despite Philadelphia incredible season (they were winning more games), Chamberlain was often complaining to reporters about his new role after a win : team efficiency was through the roof, they were playing better defensively, etc. So, yes... Chamberlain high scoring inputs wasn't the best options for his teams. When Chamberlain finally changed in his mindset in 1967 after the Hannum-Chamberlain incident I've talked about, Chamberlain became the best version of himself. Guy Rodgers talked about that change and how it impacted his teammates game.

@@tyfooncheki You're absolutely correct, he did have more than 36; several times, not just once either, I'm quite certain of. I DID find an article from a Boston paper about a year and a half ago where on Nov. 5, 1960 vs Detroit(neutral game in Boston), the reporter estimated Wilt "must've blocked 50 shots." So far this is the highest total I've found, from either him or Russell, but there might even be a higher total.

No they cancel people who are usually pieces of garbage.

I watched Wilt play. Totally agree. To this day he holds 72 NBA records and is top 2 or 3 in countless more. Never fouled out of a game. Averaged more than 48 minutes per game one year and over 46+ for his career. He averaged more rebounds per game for his career than most get in a single game now. If Jordan’s 3 point baskets were changed to 2 pointers than Wilt is the all time leader. He was one hell of an athlete and could dominate in today’s game. Don’t ANYONE tell me otherwise. He was a a hell of a physical specimen.
