Introduction:
It wasn’t televised. There’s no video footage. But the legend of Wilt Chamberlain scoring 100 points in a single game remains one of the most iconic moments in sports history.

Main Content:

• Date: March 2, 1962
• Game: Philadelphia Warriors vs. New York Knicks
• Final Score: 169–147
• Wilt: 100 points, 36 field goals, 28/32 from the free-throw line
• Played all 48 minutes — the crowd chanted “Give it to Wilt!” every possession

Why This Record Still Stands:

• Closest anyone got was Kobe’s 81 in 2006
• Modern games involve more substitutions, defensive schemes, and less usage per player
• No player since has been able to dominate with the same volume and freedom

Closing Thought:
It’s not just a record — it’s a ghost story from a time before highlight reels… but it really happened.
