Wilt Chamberlain, the great dominator of the NBA

If you ask fans of the NBA to who the most dominant player in history, probably all agree on the name: Wilt Chamberlain, the only player who has scored 100 points in a game.

Wilt Chamberlain reached the NBA in 1960 with 2.16 meters, which already foresaw a future of record in the league, in addition to his tenure in the University of Kansas and the team of the Harlem Globetrotters, where we will not see anyone wear the number 13 because I have retired in their honor.

His first NBA team was the Philadelphia Warriors, and already in the first season made it clear that dominate the league like no one has done and nobody will. He led in scoring with 37.6 points and grabbed 27 rebounds per game and was named, logically, MVP and rookie of the year. The pity was that the Warriors always fell defeated before reaching the NBA Finals Boston Celtics, Celtics who got those 11 championships in 13 seasons.

It was a wonder of nature. Chamberlain is the only player who has scored 4,000 points in a season, 100 in a game, get 55 rebounds in one game and scored 18 consecutive field goals, record that nobody could overcome. In the second pro season he averaged 50.4 points that season and played 48.5 minutes per game. Given that the parties in the NBA last 48, is a real craze.

However, Wilt Chamberlain is the player who has scored more points over his career, if not surpass him players like Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Karl Malone or Michael Jordan, though it is the highest all-time rebounder. And the score is because they did not play as many seasons as the others (Jabbar played 20, while Chamberlain only 14).

If we were to recount all the individual achievements that got the player would never end. Just say that's got 100 points in a game against the Knicks that ended in a 169-147 triple-overtime after. In addition, Wilt Chamberlain was never sent off for fouling. Perhaps the only negative was that only get two championship rings.

Needless to say, Wilt Chamberlain, who died almost 10 years ago, is in the Hall of Fame in the NBA. As a curious note, we emphasize that appeared in the film Conan the Destroyer and claimed he had sex with 20,000 women, although all unmarried, he said.
