10 Craziest Stat Lines of Wilt Chamberlain's Career
One thing people fail to realize is if he’s averaging 50 and has an off game of 30 then he has to score 70 the next game to get it back to 50. Insane
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
@@09shelby15 of that’s true then that’s just ridiculous.
@@ziginaigra With today's lack of rules... please, he would smoke the fools out there today for 50 every night...
wilt is literally so underrated. he isn’t talked about enough in goat talk. he was insane 🐐
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
@@anmkbaketball6452 I agree
@@anmkbaketball6452 No they changed the rules to make him less dominant. He still was dominant and he got bored so he tuned it down.
MYS_Games -Mystery Man- but the had to change just imagine shack throwing a lob to him self at free throws also he played 48 minutes which is just absured
@@anmkbaketball6452 you mean jordon
That was the most casual “he finished the season with 50 points on average” I’ve ever heard
55
The season averages that season for multiple players was insane. Wilt led with 50 ppg, but iirc, Oscar Robertson wasn't that far behind
PIEMAN106 Oscar averaged 30 points that season. wdym he wasn't far behind

Imagine how many records Wilt would have if they had kept blocks and steals as stats during his career.
Philideplphia kept track of blocks. According to their stats department over 120 games Wilt averaged 8.8 blocks per game
@@samueljackson5303 he was in his prime during Philly?
@@Goldenlevel555 in philly warriors not 76ers
He is calculated at 10k blocks 3 times 2nd place

If you see Nikola Jokic get 53 Points 32 Boards and 14 Assists he would be hailed as one of the greatest centers of all-time.
But when you see Wilt with that statline that’s just a good night for him.
Not me.

Blocks were not an "official" stat for the NBA during Wilt's career, but they were an internal stat for a number of teams. In the 150-odd games he played for organizations that kept track, he averaged 8.8 Blocks Per Game.
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.
All while wearing converse with little to no cushion
MY FAV STATS
49 MPG IN CONVERSE
It might be just me, but I bought Chuck Taylors for playing pick up games, until I was in my 50s. I preferred them, because they were light and cool, and had enough padding and arch support to suit me, except they could have used some more ankle support.
chuck taylors
That means very little

Wilt is not underrated and he doesn't need to be in Goat conversation because is over Goat conversation he's simply UNMATCHED.
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.

Most dominant player ever. And it's not close.
I’ve always wondered why the NBA thought an assist was a significant stat but not a block. deflecting someone’s shot attempt is much more impressive and noticeable than passing the ball to someone who makes a shot
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!
Craziest stat of his career is that he fouled out of the game 0 times. And he was playing some real defense. Best player ever.
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.

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.
@@wiltchamberlaingodofnba2072 Peace! Yes Wilt is literally the Predator no doubt……he’s as storing as the P
His quintuple double is the best game in NBA history by a mile. 53 points, 32 rebounds, 14 assists, 24 fucking blocks, and 11 steals. Every single one of those numbers are insane. On any night, if a player reached any one of these, it would be a great game. Hell if you got 24 blocks I would be impressed beyond belief. Even if I saw the footage I would still probably believe you faked it. 11 steals is insane. Actually ridiculous. Even assists, the stat of his that's the least insane, is still amazing. The only game that's even ony the discussion as the greatest game is his 100 point game, but I don't feel like it's particularly close. You could feasibly, given the right circumstances, get to 100. It would be crazy difficult, but it would be possible. No way in a million years could you ever reach either 32 rebounds or 24 blocks, let alone together. It's just not possible. 11 steals is just barely possible, but stretching it a little bit. 14 assist could be consistently done if you're someone like Stockton or Magic, but is otherwise an outlier for any player. 50 points can't be consistently done, other then Wilt. Not even Jordan or Kobe could average even 40 for a season, let alone 50. To combine them all is truly ridiculous. There will never be a game better then that. The universe will end before that game is beaten.
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.
Wilt Chamberlain is NOT ‘one of the most dominant players to ever play the game of basketball’.
Wilt Chamberlain is THE most dominant player to ever play the game of basketball. Period. He is in a class by himself. There is no second place.

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!
If you put wilt Chamberlain now with New Age sport science he would literally be a different breed
Wilt would be unfair today. Imagine if he had a jumper like KD. They would literally have to put Wilt in a different league.
Wouldn't even make it out of hs. He would be so busy slaying the Instagram thotties
@@coachwane he found a way to balance it back then
@@goatgk9945 That also made him great
@@AcousticOlli Clearly you missed the word "imagine".
Some people seem to forget this about Wilt but in his 40's he blocked all of a prime magic johnson shots in a pickup game (Magic was said to be taking every game as serious as an nba playoff game) cause he thought the goal-tending foul called by magic was a bad call, Wilt was an absolute beast.
Funny how Wilt is routinely left out of the conversation when discussing the GOAT. Ridiculous.
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.

For career, 30 pts a game, 22 boards, averaged 46 min per game!! Even today he has total rebounding record! 50 yrs later. What he did, can never be again!! Best player ever in history!! Not even close!!
Yes apparently Wilt did absolutely everything that night including working the concessions stand, selling tickets, doing Security, selling popcorn and helping sweep and lock the place up after the game. Was there ever a greater individual player in the NBA's history? I don't see how...

As a true basketball fan the NBA has set certain people to be forgotten. If Bill Russell didn't have 11 rings he would of been forgotten. This man wilt is a icon for big man but yet he is not been any shown love by the NBA for the hard work an amazing things he has done.
Hell anymore no centers are
Again I say”Wilt is THE GOAT”.
Thanks, Wilt Chamberlain statistics are not human. He did that to an entire league. Don’t know if it could ever be repeated. Words can’t describe his game.
This man's whole career was a crazy statline
I watched Wilt towards the end of his career and I have to say you did one of the finest tributes to him that I have seen. Great job 👍👍👍
You can say that again.
...And this is why Wilt is the true GOAT.
True GOAT?…..is there another kind?
In the 2 games prior to the 1962 All-Star Game, Wilt scored 73 points, grabbed 36 rebounds, and shot 29-48 from the floor against HOF center Walt Bellamy. Chamberlain followed that up with a 62 point, 28 rebound, 27-48 from the floor effort against HOF center Bill Russell. In the 1962 All-Star Game, Wilt scored a then All-Star record 42 points, he grabbed 24 rebounds, and shot 17-23 from the floor. These performances were against the greatest winner (e.g., Bill Russell) in NBA history, and the most underrated center (e.g., Walt Bellamy) in NBA history. If the 6'11" 250 pound Bellamy played in today's game, he would be the NBA's best center and 1 of the 5 highest paid players in the league.
Nice!!
Don't know if Bellamy was the most underrated, but he was very good. Him and Thurmond, along with Chamberlain would have (in my opinion) been the three best centers today, and pretty much dominated.
Imagine owning Wilt if there's fantasy basketball that time. 🤯
bro would carry
They'd have split Wilt into PTS and REB/AST like fantasy hockey would split Wayne Gretzky into just his goals and assists.
And just like Gretzky, the two Wilts would be #1 and #2
Averaged 48 mins 50 points 25 rebounds 100 point game 13,000 rebounds career total HE. IS. THE. GOAT…
When i finish building the time machine im gonna go watch wilt score 100. Man he is one of the greats
Don't forget to record down the blocks and steals. Also bring a camera
Bring a couple friends too, I’m tryna see that no cap
Make sure you record that game before you kill Hitler, so time wonkiness doesn't happen and ruin the game.
@@c99kfm he needs to save MLK too
Wilt played against great centers in the 60's like Nate Thurmand, Walt Bellamy, Wes Unseld, Bill Russell, Jerry Lucas, Willis Reed, and a guy named Kareem (then Lew Alcindor), just to name a few! Which makes Wilt's stats even more impressive!
Thanks for pointing out that Wilt's 55 rebound game came against Bill Russell. A lot of people don't realize that.
One of the most underrated player in NBA history and he doesn’t get the respect when it comes to the goat conversation.

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!

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.
The NBA needs to have their statisticians to go back during an off-season and count up all of Wilt's stats.

I get this noti while I’m looking at craziest stat lines in nba history
Many people would thinks the 60's is a very weak era in the 60's sometimes if you throw a punch ,kick,elbow it wouldnt be called a foul to Chamberlain unlike today you can just flop for a freethrow but still unable to break wilts records.
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!
He freakin scored 50 PPG IN 1962
and 25.6 RPG
Yeah
Wilt did all that while Oscar Robertson averaged a triple double that season. They both lost out on league MVP to Bill Russell who averaged 18 ppg and 23 rpg. Go figure 🤷🏾♂️
In conclusion: wilt chamberlain is a myplayer
People don't understand how good wilt was.. imagine someone built like Dwight, runs like LeBron, jumps almost like Jordan.. and can hold the ball with two fingers on both of his hands.. and have a crazy ass wingspan... He be dominating today
Built like Dwight except over 7'2" with shoes on like Dwight was!
Wilt's vertical leap was better than MJ's...48"..at 7'1". GOAT doesn't even describe the man.
@@tooldaddy828 wilt is a true beast .. if you seen his videos he can run down the court making everyone looks like they were walking jump high.. imagine twight Howard runs faster and quicker and jumps higher and more strength not to mention wilt has a really soft floater that has high accuracy
why is it never mentioned that Wilt, while playing 47 and 48 minutes a game some years, that he never once fouled out in an NBA game in his career! not once! never fouled out. can you imagine what it takes to do what he did and play like he played against the brutal beatings he would take each game and never retaliate. such control and strength. G.o.a.t
Now that's the real Goat. A legend and an icon.
although unofficial Wilt is listed as having block shot games of 26, 24 and 23, just incredible.

@Hacks. org yeah he definitely had more than that he was literally just a god
@@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.
People say he played against plumbers, but the one record that can't deny his greatness is 48.5 minutes per game. His stamina was through the roof! He can definitely destroy some records in today's game
He is the Real GOAT
Wilt was a complete stud. Years ago I read a very interesting article about Wilt's 100 point game. The game was against, I think Kansas City, they were an expansion team. Their center was sick, their back up center guarded him, but fouled out in the first half. A forward guarded him the remainder of the game. Al Attles who later coached the Warriors didn't miss a single shot in the game.
Believe that game was against the Knicks, in Hershey, PA.
Wilt was and still is a Legend 👑👑👑👑

The best athlete we've ever seen. Verified 40" vertical for a man of his size; he was a complete athlete in the NCAA (shot put, triple jump, high jump, 100 yards dash *they run the yards dash back then), etc.
The sad thing about his career. The false claims surrounding his career : 20, 000 women; 50 inches vertical; 600 pounds on the bench; etc. Chamberlain don't need those myths to be bigger than life. His basketball credentials were insanely impressive.
Also, there was a phenomenon back then explaining why Chamberlain's team (or any one man heavy scoring load) were coming short in the playoffs : "The Wilt Chamberlain Paradox". It wasn't because his team's weren't talented. Thinking Basketball explicitly tackled this subject lately.
Sorry for that aside, but Alex Hannum explained this situation in his book : "The Wilt Chamberlain Paradox". It wasn't an easy change for neither Chamberlain or his team; Wilt Chamberlain was constantly complaining to reporters about his new roles after games... Until Alex Hannum almost fought Chamberlain in the locker room! After this incident, Chamberlain accepted completely his roles and became a MVP & the best version of himself in 1967!
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 UA-camrs 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.
Imo there's no such thing as stat padding if there's 5 dudes on the other team to stop you
Al Attles, Chamberlain’s teammate with the Warriors that memorable night in Hershey Pa. and the team’s coach for its first championship in 1975, used to brag about the game he and Wilt lit it up for 116 points.
117 points, actually! ;)
@@phillipschuman4307 Either Attles mis-told it, or I stand corrected. 😆 Actually he had a perfect line, made all eight of his shots and his only free throw.
While he talked about Wilt's playing time I didn't hear him mention that Wilt averaged over 48 minutes a game one season with all the OT games. Something else I heard about him but, didn't witness personally was that before games, during warm-ups, somebody would put quarters on TOP of the backboard and he would jump up and pull them off!
Actually, Wilt averaged over 48 min per game for his career!
OT games put him over the 48.
Goat!
@@sonofrobert Not true. Wilt averaged 45.8 mpg over his pro career. It was only in 1961 when he was with the Warriors that he topped the 48 mpg mark.

Oh okay.

Man had stats like mycareer
Easily the goat
Wilt's most overlooked record is that he is the only player in NBA history to record a 30-30 in a playoff series. In the 1965 East Finals, Chamberlain dominated Russell to the tune of 30.1 points and 31.4 rebounds. In Game 7 of that series, Wilt scored the last 6 points of the game to put the 76ers within 1 point of the heavily favored Celtics. Russell then hit one of the basket support wires on an inbounds pass, so the 76ers had the ball with only 5 seconds left in the game. Unfortunately, Greer's inbounds pass was stolen by Havlicek and the rest is history. Chamberlain also had the greatest playoff run (e.g., 1967 playoffs) in NBA history. In 15 playoff games, Wilt averaged 21.7 points, 29.1 rebounds, 9.0 assists, and 9.2 blocked shots. If the award existed at the time, Wilt would have been named the Finals MVP as the record breaking 1966-1967 76ers (e.g., 68-13 record after blasting out of the gate with a 46-4 record) won their first NBA title.
Why do they talk about the old-time greats in MLB, NHL, and NFL, but Wilt is ignored? What are people afraid of? As I kid I loved Wilt. I was too young to see him play, but I saw the films and read a few books on him. He's a fascinating athlete. He beat Jim Brown in a footrace, excelled in track and field, was even drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs, holds some 70s records that are literally untouchable, and played professional vollyball in his 40s. He had a vertical leap of 48 inches, benched 600 pounds, and could fly and leap like no other. For sports fans, I really suggest you watch more videos of him actually playing as well as read up on who he was. Amazing athlete and man.
Try hype & hate for a couple of reasons!
Wilt was the greatest athlete in human history. No one else is even close and no one has come close to this day. They had to change the rules and the courts dimensions after he showed up. He actually averaged a triple double for his entire career if blocks had been counted in those days. Kind of puts to rest everyone trying to claim that athleticism wasn't invented until james came into the league.
Thanks. I'm too young to have ever watched Wilt play, but I want the younger people to realize. They say, "He played against plumbers and electricians ". It's sad really. Wilt died relatively young in 1999. He was possibly the greatest athlete ever, but the new gen Z's want to cancel everything that doesn't apply to them. There world is 2000+
No they cancel people who are usually pieces of garbage.
There is never going to be another Wilt due to our culture today. When someone like Wilt, Bo, Mike Tyson was growing up, they played outside at a young age and developed their strength Naturally. Where as kids today grow up playing video games indoor more than playing outside.
This is why he is the best of all time
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.
@@leedani9279 if he played in 80s or 90s he would have probably 0 records😃
@@leedani9279 ❤️ wilt too: block jabber skyhook shot bunch of times:: wilt owns NBA records books 📚 in wilt casket
Wilt rebounding:;NBA scoring records. Great at checkers:: cards::
@@ziginaigrayou mean every record, Right. Wilt was better condition than any center to play the game,please understand that. Take into consideration the trash talking that goes on,which would give Wilt mote motivation. The only way to put it is GAME OVER, WILT WOULD BREAK EVERY RECORD.
My favorite stat is he had more 50 point games in one season than all other NBA centers have in their careers combined. More 50 point games than like the next 7 or 8 guys behind him combined for his career.
Correction: Wilt Chamberlain IS the most dominant player to ever play basketball.
Wilt's one of the few players from his day who'd be every bit as dominant if he came into the league today. Bill Russell was a super athlete, Wilt was basically a force of nature.
Does you guys think he’s the greatest scorer of all time?
You look at his scoring numbers in his first 12 years hard to put anybody else ahead of him as a scorer...all the scores who are ahead of wilt on the all time list played longer than the big dipper
Yes and MJ no. 2; anything after than can be debated
LeBron Jame NBA career scoring king:: wilt 50: 40:: points per games average NBA: rebounding? :::wilt has the record NBA books 📚 in wilt casket
Imagine if Wilt, Lebron and MJ played on 1 team. With Chris Paul @ PG and Dirk @ PF. Most unstoppable shit
Holy cow! That first stat alone just closes the deal. God lee!!!
Fun fact: wilt did not want to score 100 points
How much?
Greatest athlete ever, and is not even close
At second i have a close tie between Lebron and Bo Jackson
Wilt is getting bored. He always beat his previous record like its nothing. I think Wilt is time traveler 😂
My favorite quote from Chamberlain on why Jordan couldn't be the NBA goat was this one, “The difference between you and me is that they had to change the rules for me so I couldn't dominate. They changed the rules so that you could.”
