The 20 Best Finals Performances of All Time

19. Wilt Chamberlain – NBA Finals 1967

The Philadelphia 76ers were the best team in the NBA in 1967, as Wilt Chamberlain led them to a 68-13 regular season record, which was the best record in NBA history at the time. The Sixers had their hands full in the NBA Finals against the San Francisco Warriors though, as future Hall of Famers Rick Barry and Nate Thurmond both played great. Barry led the series in total points, averaging over 40 points per game and Thurmond averaged 26.7 rebounds.

Unfortunately for the Warriors, Philadelphia had Wilt the Stilt and Chamberlain would not let his team lose the series. Chamberlain controlled the glass, averaging 28.5 rebounds per game. He also took on a distributor role, averaging a team-high 6.8 assists to go along with his 17.7 points per game.
