Top 10 Scorers in Golden State Warriors' History 

#2 Wilt Chamberlain- 17,783 Points

If one ignores contextual factors and looks at the pure numbers, Wilt Chamberlain’s spell at the Warriors saw the greatest scoring in NBA history. In the present day, scoring 50 points in a single game is a remarkable achievement, very few players achieve the feat.

Yet throughout his career, Chamberlain made scoring 50 points look like a nightly chore as he managed that feat on 118 occasions.

For comparison, the next player in NBA history is Michael Jordan who only scored more than 50 points, 32 times. In fact, Chamberlain averaged 37.6 points per game in his rookie season for the Warriors, again remarkable regardless of the context.

He even got better over the next two seasons, as he averaged 38.4 points and 50.4 points respectively. The latter season is arguably the most impressive in NBA history (earning him an MVP award), including that famous 100-point performance.

While Chamberlain’s time for the Warriors ended on a sour note (he requested a trade back to Philadelphia after the Warriors moved to San Francisco), his success for the franchise was and remains unparalleled.
