Is Wilt Chamberlain's 100 Point Game All A Lie? | Pat McAfee Show 

I love AJ’s little comments throughout the show. So funny.

I don’t think AJ understands how fractions work

​@@trevortheclever2738he knew exactly how fractions worked that's why he asked if it was a 8 quarter game

Did Kobe play an 8 quarter game when he scored 81? Wilt also scored a 79 point game and had a total of 32 sixty+ points games. Kobe is in second place with 6. Not even in the double digits. Wilt averaged 50.4 points the season that he scored 100 in a game

Exactly

@Jordan Armes oh, cool story. Nerd.

Not to mention it's 25 points a quarter. How many players today get hot and get 25+ a quarter? In that era and his size.. COME ON ITS SO EASILY POSSIBLE

@Jordan Armes it’s a fake name cuz I actually did something with my life ya nerd

@@chrisgeorge84ur embarrassing 🤓🤣

Nba wasn't as popular, so they didn't televise it. When gamest weren't being televised, they didn't record the games. Like why record it? To show highlights on Sportscenter? That didn't exist back then either. They kept track of stats though. Heck they didn't even record assists, and blocks.

they have maybe 2 percent of all of Wilts game play on film, the Networks did not make basketball a priority and there were only 6 stations back then if you were lucky.

they had 120 rebounds between both teams.

O kids

1 woman per inch is the rumor

More like 100,000 men

Including yo momma

Bro is the Genghis Khan of basketball

The fact that this was a debate, and I think everyone was genuine worries me about younger sports fan. They either don’t care about the history of sports or they think that era is so inferior, they thumb their noses at it. They think the NBA started with Bird/Magic and the NFL started with Superbowl 1.

@@chrisolivo6591 In the same way, I doubt if there’s any athletes from the 1920s that you hold in high esteem.

@@TP-pq9xx 1920’s? Ever heard of Babe Ruth? He was kind of a big deal back then.

@@chrisolivo6591I’ve read a few of your comments and I agree, this shouldn’t be up for debate. The broadcast of the game exists. And I agree with fans today not respecting the history of the game. I’m a millennial on the younger end of the spectrum yet I understand the significance of a Wilt, Kareem, Oscar, Bill, Jerry West, guys who played well before I was born. If it isn’t anyone playing the game today or not named MJ then they don’t care. Some do and I don’t want to generalize but predominantly most don’t appear to.

@@RyanCT89 I’ve heard of him but you can’t seriously think he compares to modern baseball players. I mean look at him.

you are aware that ppl do lie. you are aware that most of our history is fake.

Yes he would

The other team started fouling him on purpose so he could get to 100 and his teammates gave him the ball every single time down the court even if they were open. He was going against a rookie 6th round pick from Cleveland state who was 6’8 210 pounds, imagine a rookie from low level basketball at Cleveland state to guarding wilt chamberlain an nba level talent freak. the Knicks the team they were playing were missing their best players. This was absolutely one of the most fabricated moments in nba history. They tried so hard to create it

I don’t know maybe you didn’t see the clickbait headline. It was made up

Lol man shut up. No one is above lying to the public

Fr the man been dead for 24 years and people still doubt his greatness most underappreciated legend ever rip big dipper

​@@KingBeckwood😅

WILT WOULD BE LISTED AT 7 FT 3 300 POUNDS IN TODAYS GAME AS PLAYERS BACK THEN WERE MEASURED WITHOUT SHOES the average height of the nba back then was 6 ft 5 without shoes now its 6 ft 6 with shoes on the average height of a center back then was 6 ft 10 without shoes the average height now is 6 ft 10 with shoes so take that into consideration wilt would be listed at 7 ft 3, 300 pounds in his prime today , hed be the biggest, when taking into his height and weight Wilt played in a league with 8-12 teams at a time while still having an 82 game schedule with about 80% of the teams having a hof center this means wilt played a hof center just about every night +30-40 exhibition games between February and march C-Bill Russell: 6’11” 235 ibs HOF (143 games played in 9 seasons) (up to 14 times in the regular season) C-Kareem Abdul Jabbar: 240 ibs 7'4" HOF(27 games played in 4 seasons) (up to 5 times in the regular season) C-Willis Reed: 6,10.5” 255 ibs HOF(72 games played in 8 seasons) (up to 10 times a season) C-Walt Bellamy: 7, 0" 270 ibs HOF(100 games played in 11 seasons) (up to 10 times a season) C-Artis Gilmore: 7'3" HOF - 260 ibs- C-Bob Lanier: 7'0" HOF(17 games played in 3 seasons) (up to 7 times a season) 280 ibs C-Nate Thurmond: 7'1" HOF(47 games played in 4 seasons) (up to 7 times a season) 240 ibs C-Bob McAdoo: 6’10” HOF (5 games played in 1 season) C-ZELMO BAETY -55 games C-WAYNE EMBRY 84 (Wes Unseld is also a HOF center but he is 6’9 -270 ibs-) (26 times in 5 seasons) (Dave Cowens is also a HOF Center/Forward but he is 6”9)(17 games played in 3 seasons) (Connie Hawkins is also a HOF Forward/ center but he is 6”9)(31 games played in 4 seasons) (please note there are more HOF PF who guarded and were guarded by wilt chamberlain but the majority of them are about 6’9) 624 out of 1045 60% of his games ALL STARS AND OTHERS: Dennis Awtrey: 7'0" Tom Boerwinkle: 7'2" Nate Bowmen: 7,0" Mel Counts: 7'1" Walter Dukes: 7'1" Jim Eakins: 6'11" Ray Felix: 6'11" Hank Finkel: 7'0" Swede Halbrook: 7'5" (look at his highlights) Reggie Harding: 7'0" Jim McDaniels: 7'0" Otto Moore: 6'11" Dave Newmark: 7'0" Rich Niemann: 7'0" Billy Paultz: 6'11" Craig Raymond: 6'11" Elmore Smith: 7'0" Chuck Share: 7,0 " Ronald Taylor: 7'1" Walt Wesley: 7,0" TOM PAYNE 7'4 " GREG FILLMORE 7'1 CRAIG SPITZER 7'0 LARUE MARTIN 6'11 VIC BARTOLOME 7'1 GEORGE JOHNSON 6'11 WILLIAM SMITH 7'1 (the heights are with the added 1 1/2 inches to take into consideration the fact that players in this "era" were measured without shoes)

@@JohnnyRodgers3 and Shaq was 7 foot 2 inch with shoes on so 7 foot or 7 foot 1 inch for Shaq.

@@caseysmith544 if Shaq is 7ft2 inches with shoes on that would make wilt 7ft4 and Kareem 7ft 5...Shaq said himself that he was Abt a quarter inch shy of 7ft barefoot...

Many people saw Wilt score a ton of points *

Hey, thanks for clearing that up. If you say so, it must have happened. Alright, he did it..... nice.

@Tyler Holt So what caused the big bag? Lots of people have seen and felt the love from god. Even drugs prove different dimensions are real. To think this is only universe is insane.

@@duanebailey6253 just because other universes are real doesn’t mean god is? They’re two completely separate things. I believe we are not the only universe or beings but I don’t believe in god/religion.

@@duanebailey6253 You can't prove a negative. That's why all these arguments get real silly really fast.

With no 3s though. Got to take that into account

kobe did it against a weak raptors team.

@@Jjj-fl3cv yeah but he's 7'1 against dudes in the 50s. They were full court throwing him the ball for sure

@@MovieGuy666 yeah imagine a team in the 50s-60s. Way weaker than that raptors team.

@RR he only played one year in the 50's, and had 55 rebounds against Bill Russell. Don't discount the man's achievements because they SEEM impossible

Sadly, I see this more and more with young sports fans towards the history of respective sports. They’ve grown up in the ESPN ‘First Take’ era so they have this naive attitude towards older generations. They think the NBA started with Bird/Magic, they think the NFL started with Superbowl 1, etc. Guys like Wilt, Jim Brown, and Kareem are forgotten these days. What bothered me most about the debate on this show is how nobody here knew anything about Wilt’s 100 point game. Not one of them ever looked up the box score out of curiosity? It’s a generational thing as they simply don’t care about sports history before modern times.

@@chrisolivo6591 I can say that I’m only in my late 20s, but I’m glad I did the research on Wilt to truly learn how unbelievable he truly was

Trained with Bruce Lee a short period of time

Wilt was 7 feet tall, he was nowhere near the strongest. There is also ZERO proof of his bench press outside of his personal claims.

@@chrisolivo6591 how can Kareem be forgotten if modern fans felt the nba started with magic? He played with Kareem lol

not even 10, 3-to 6 depending on the city.

@@softjones3128 AYOOOO!!! Catch em on the Rebound

Taking peoples word for it.. we have no clue if he had 100..

You didn't see it

​@@NotKD35 it's audio recordings and stats for that game we don't need footage it definitely happened why nobody from back then came out and said it was a lie? Not ever liked wilt most people hated him actually lol

So

Nah, that was after the 1000th woman he banged.

Insane pace. Running back and forth the court in 48 minutes

Also wilt was fouled a ton of time. They can only stop wilt by fouling him lmao

From what I have read through the years, Wilt started taking running starts at the FT line in college and they quickly changed the rule in 1955. I can’t believe the NBA wouldn’t have changed that rule then too anticipating Wilt eventually going pro?

He was a horrible free throw shooter. That was not a rule when he played in the NBA. Look at some of his 60+ point games, this was like the only one where he shot well from the free throw line. He could have had a few 90 point games if he could actually shoot a decent free throw percentage.

@@vd5564 You're right, I mixed the timelines up. The NBA outlawed the free throw dunk in 1960, which was Wilt's 2nd year in the league. The 100 point game was in 1962. He must have just had a crazy lucky free throw shooting night to facilitate 100 points.

​​@bryankong3522 or the refs rigged it in his favor, I mean the league has a history of rigging games.

He was a 50% free throw shooter. 28 for 32 counted for 1/4th his points. Probably why he never scored 100 again.

And philthadumpia the worst city.

@@lagodifuoco313 we carried the union in every war! We saved the nation mutiple times

@@salvatoreregalbuto5444 And still a trashy city.

You have no idea if he really scored 100 lol. That’s why it’s up for debate and this clip exists

They are joking stupid.

it’s for the views lol

and it’s also just a good conversation

Most sports (even mega popular ones like Baseball) weren't televising most games then.

What’s the clickbait

@@steelz2k119 he just wants something to complain about

Lol ya it’s not even click bait.

this guys fun at parties lmao

Fake fans aren’t welcome

Lol, I don't know, because minutes played was not recorded then, but if he DIDN'T play , would his stats be zeros? or not even listed?

That would make it less clear

@@charlesbliss4860 Don't quote me but if I remember correctly, the team played a big part in talking him into trying for it. They viewed it as a team accomplishment. Can't blame them either.

Wilt was a hell of an athlete but the league he played in was pathetic compared to what it is now. His completion was a joke. Like a rec league at your local YMCA

@@NotKD35 That's far from unique. Athletes can only be compared to their competition at their time. Would Jim Brown, in his size & weight then, be as dominant now as then? Probably not. That said though, people like that drive themselves to be that much better than those around them, so my guess is that he'd have been much more muscular today. Same goes for Wilt. I stand by my comment that he might well be the most dominant athlete ever, being compared the only way one can; against his or her contemporaries. Nobody can play against those that don't exist (at their time).

Kobe's 81 game was against a bad raptors team and his teammates were also feeding him the ball.

@@MovieGuy666 Kobe's team was garbage. They were losing for most of the game. Feeding him the ball on normal possessions is different than creating additional possessions by intentionally not playing correctly. Not sure how you missed that.
