March 2, 1962

46 years ago Wilt Chamberlain made history.

There are a couple huge records in sports, Barry Bonds holds two of them, Cal Ripken holds another, Wil Chamberlain holds one as well.

Wilt 'The Stilt' dropped 100 points on the New York Knickerbockers in a 169-147 victory. Talk about dominance.

Records set in that game by Wilt.

Most field goals (36), free throws (28 of 32), most points in a quarter (31) and most points in a half (59).

Can you imagine seeing a game go into halftime and a player has 59 points?!?! It's rare to see a team go into halftime with that many points, let alone one man.

Props to Wilt Chamberlain, the guy was incredible.
