(WHSV) – Sixty-four years ago, on March 2, 1962, Wilt Chamberlain set an NBA scoring record that, to this day, continues to stand the test of time.
Chamberlain dropped 100 points for the Philadelphia Warriors in a game against the New York Knicks. The competition itself was not televised and just over 4,000 fans were in attendance to see it live.
This is a single-game scoring record that stands to this day, and “Wilt the Stilt” also held the second spot on this list until January 2006. That’s when Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers scored 81 points in an offensive outburst against Vince Carter’s Toronto Raptors.
