Wilt Chamberlain is regarded as one of the most dominant players in the history of the sport. His iconic 100-point game was not televised or recorded as the NBA was not yet a major sports league. That very season, Chamberlain averaged a record 50.4 points per game. The closest anybody has ever come to this mammoth scoreline is Kobe Bryant when he dropped 81 against the Toronto Raptors in 2006.

In just 1,045 games, Wilt piled up a mountain made of 31,419 points and had an impact on the game way beyond the stat sheets. As a 4-time MVP and 2-time Champion, he set in motion several rule changes such as widening the lane, instituting offensive goaltending etc.

Standing at a little above 7 feet, Wilt displayed superhuman agility on the court, serving San Francisco Warriors, the Philadelphia 76ers, and the Los Angeles Lakers before playing his last season in 1973.
