Half-century on, Chamberlain's NBA century lives on

 
Posted by Picasa
Fifty years on, Wilt Chamberlain's 100-point game remains the stuff of legend in the NBA. 

On March 2, 1962, before a crowd of 4,124 in out-of-the-way Hershey, Pennsylvania, Chamberlain made 36 of 63 shots from the field and 28 of 32 from the free throw line to score 100 points for the Philadelphia Warriors against the New York Knicks, a feat whose mythic status has only been enhanced by the lack of film or photographic record of the contest.

P.S. The article doesn't mention that Wilt slept with over 20,000 women. Allegedly, that is.
