A couple more Wilt tidbits:
-He was the only NBA player to score 4,000 points in a season. He set NBA single-game records for most points (100), most consecutive field goals (18) and most rebounds (55). He averaged 50.4 points per game during the 1961-62 season, and also averaged 48.5 minutes in that same year.
-He is tops in rebounds with 23,924. He led the NBA in scoring seven years in a row. He was the league's top rebounder in 11 of his 14 seasons. He averaged 27.2 rebounds a game in 1960, 25.4 in '61, 24.3 in '62. He also lead the league in assists in 1967-68 with 8.6. (I'm not sure this is correct, but I read it in a bio. I thought Oscar averaged over 9 that year.)
-Most games with 50+ points, 118; Most consecutive games with 40+ points, 14; Most consecutive games with 30+ points: 65; Most consecutive games with 20+ points: 126; Highest rookie scoring average: 37.6 ppg; Highest field goal percentage in a season: .727.
-His dominance precipitated many rules changes. These rules changed included widening the lane, instituting offensive goaltending and revising rules governing inbounding the ball and shooting free throws (Chamberlain would leap with the ball from behind the foul line to deposit the ball in the basket).
No player ever has, or ever will come close to these numbers. Remember that even in his later years, playing against the likes of Kareem, Willis, Unseld, Thurmond, etc., Wilt still managed to average over 19 boards a game, and was voted to the NBA All-Defensive team. He was a player of unmatched talent. During his first 7 years in the league he averaged 39.4 points. In his last 7 his production reduced to 20.7. Age was definitely a factor but Chamberlain was also asked to not shoot as much and get his team mates more involved. If he had chosen to keep shooting, it's likely he could have still been 3rd on the list playing fewer seasons and fewer games than his counterparts.
There, my nearly frightening Wilt 'lovefest' is over. Sorry to go over board, but like the Big O said when asked if Wilt was the greatest ever, 'The books don't lie'.
