NBA Record Holders: 10 of the most unbreakable NBA records

#1 Wilt Chamberlain - Most Points in a single Game

Wilt Chamberlain scored 100 points against the New York Knicks

It seems like Wilt Chamberlain has records everywhere possible in the NBA. Leading the team in a game through points in the biggest contribution by a player to his team and Wilt did that uncountable time. In the 1961-62 NBA season, something happened which took the basketball or we can say the whole sporting world by a storm, Chamberlin scored 100 points in a single game against the New York Knicks on March 2, 1962. If we have to get a 100-point play in today's games by a player, then not a single player but we have to combine more than 3 players' points of a team in a game in order to sum-up 100 points.

Chamberlain scored 100 points in a game by shooting 36 field goals out of 63 field goal attempts with a percentage of 57.14% of field goals, 28 made free-throws, 28 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 personal fouls on that night. That was a long and historic night for Wilt and for the Philadelphia Warriors, but a tough one for the New York Knicks. The Philadelphia Warriors won that game by 169-147, and Chamberlain contributed more than half of those points, those are so many points on the board by a single player, Wow!

No one has ever reached up to this mark of points in a single game. Kobe Bryant is on No.2 in scoring the most points in a single game with 81 points.
