Wilt Norman Chamberlain's career averages are a thing of beauty. One can only marvel at the sheer supremacy this player governed during his team on an NBA court.

To outline a few, he averaged 30.1 points and 22.9 rebounds per game during his career. He had an unforgettable 100-point game and an insurmountable 50.4 points per game average during the 1961-62 season. Also, he won NBA's regular season MVP award for three consecutive seasons from 1966-68. One of his many unconventional feats was never being fouled out of a game.
