Michael Jordan And Company Discuss Who The GOAT Is

Imagine a player such as Anthony Davis recording a 50/25/9 stat line, the media would go absolutely bonkers. ESPN would share the highlights of that game for at least a week, maybe more. Chamberlain did it on a daily basis. It was a natural average for him.

During the 1967-68 season, Chamberlain got mad and grew tired of fans and other players calling him a ball hog. So, he went on to lead the league in assists per game, averaging 8.6. In that year, he averaged 24.3 points, 23.7 rebounds and 8.6 assists per game. Not to mention his 8.8 blocks per game.

In league history, there have been 447 50+ point games, and Chamberlain accounts for 26.4% of them. Chamberlain holds more records than we can list, but among them, there are some quite interesting ones.
