#2 Wilt Chamberlain, 1961-62
As far as unimaginable seasons go, I humbly submit to you the most statistically eye-popping season in NBA history. Wilt Chamberlain averaged 50.4 points, 25.7 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game in only his 3rd NBA season, and finished only 4th in MVP voting!

(a) Wilt is the only player in NBA history to average over 48 minutes per game while playing every game in the season.
(b) He racked up 4000 points that season. The only other player to crack 3000 points in a season was Michael Jordan in 86-87.
(c) No other player has stacked up 2000 rebounds in a season, ever.
Wilt is truly one-of-a-kind in terms of dominating basketball games on his own. After all, he has 6 70+ point games to his credit.
