On March 2, 1962 Wilt Chamberlain and the Philadelphia Warriors hosted the New York Knicks in Hershey, PA. On that night, Chamberlain scored an NBA-record 100 points, a mark that has never been close to being approached. Wilt went 36-63 from the field and 28-32 from the free throw line on the night. The out-of-this-world performance was the highlight of a season in which he went on to average 50.4 points and 25.7 rebounds per game.
