It’s interesting to note that yesterday was the anniversary of Wilt Chamberlain’s incredible 100 point game — now that is really lighting up the basketball nets!

He had that feat on March 2, 1962 as part of the Philadelphia Warriors team in their defeat of the New York Knicks.

This CNNSI article provides an interesting background on the accomplishment, and the state of basketball at the time.

We’ve also provided a 2 minute video below that shows some clips of Mr. Chamberlain’s performances, including a discussion of the famous 100 point game.
