ON THIS DAY - 1962: Wilt rattles in 100 points in NBA

BASKETBALL - Precisely 50 years ago, on 2 March 1962, Wilt Chamberlain set an NBA record by pouring in 100 points for the Philadelphia Warriors against the New York Knicks. Like many of you, I grew up with the Birdman, the Magic and Air Jordan, but ‘Wilt The Stilt’ averaged more than 50 points per game and more than 25 rebounds in that 1961-1962 season. I repeat: ‘AVERAGED’. So, in my humble opinion, that leaves at least a little debate on who the greatest ever player was. His profile can be found here. Click here for a tribute.
