There are 100 reasons why Wilt is in the conversation.

Not only did he set numerous NBA records that would probably not ever be broken, Wilt Chamberlain truly dominated the game offensively during his time. Aside from scoring 100 points and 55 rebounds, this one-man wrecking crew who played for Philadelphia/San Francisco Warriors (1959-65), Philadelphia 76ers (1965-68), and Los Angeles Lakers (1968-73) is forever known as the only player who were able to have season averages of over 50 points, 22 rebounds, and mind-boggling 48.5 minutes per game.

One of the best bigs of all time, Wilt stood out in his era with his unique speed, athleticism, and brute strength. Towards the latter part of his career, Chamberlain blossomed into a team player who contributed greatly to his Los Angeles Lakers team in establishing the longest winning streak in the NBA at 33, en route to winning his second championship ring.
