  So he’s the youngest…..don’t forget he came to the NBA from high school as did Bryant. Age doesn’t mean anything.
  How many games did it take someone is a better measuring stick for the accomplishment.That said he’s not close….

  wilt chamberlain dit it in a nba where there were only few black players and with almost no real centers, 6’6 centers and he had problems to score against a 6’9 center named bill russel.

  You can add he did it in a nba where there were only 8 teams.

  M.J. is still the most impressive.

  Which is another reason why Jordan is never rated the Number one basketball player all time. Wilt has over 100 records that can never be broken, and the line is always the myth that there were no other seven footers in his era. He played with several, and nate Thurmond, 6’11 1/2 was on his team.

  Some people think they know pro basketball. I really hate it when people talk about pro ball, when they only started watching it in the 1990′s. Please Look at the stats put up against Bill Russell. Please read and learn.

  Chamberlain averaged exactly 28.7 points and 28.7 rebounds a game during those 142 games, the point totals brought down a bit by his late-in-career transformation from relentless scoring machine to more well-rounded player. In the early years Wilt scored 50 or more points seven times against Russell, including a high of 62 on January 14, 1962. By the time we could start referring to these men as “aging warriors,” the numbers were a bit more back to earth. Wilt’s high game in their final year was 35, and three times he scored in single figures.

  Russell’s totals against Wilt were 14.5 points and 23.7 rebounds per game. His highest-scoring game against his arch rival was 37.

  However, you need to understand that Chamberlain is also the greatest individual athlete in the history of sports, in terms of a physical specimen. In his prime, he was 7’1″, 275 lb (Dwight Howard but taller basically), could run a 10.7 100 meter, 48 inch vertical (roughly Michael Jordans) and had a 500 lb bench press (more than Shaq). He also was extremely skilled. He had a deadly fadeaway and tons of post moves. He lead the league in assists because he wanted to show people he could.

  Jordan never lead the NBA in assist.

  Actually the argument against wilt is very strong he did do amazing things but the players he was playing we far less compared to even the late 70′s which if you pay attention when guys like kareem and others began to join wilts stats plumited whitch is why michals career ppg is higher was he great yes but if he played today he wouldent be in the hall
