This name needs no introduction. Wilt Chamberlain is widely known as one of the greatest NBA players of all-time. Wilt was a 13-time All-Star and known for his unique record of 100 points in an NBA game. Wilt was the Rookie of the year in 1960.

A career filled with accolades, Wilt Chamberlain was a 7-time scoring champion, 11-time rebounding champion.

His jersey No.13 was retired by all the three teams that he had played for in his career.
