In no way did the Knicks back off to let Wilt score. That is something you are making up. They were doing everything to stop him. The Warriors were fouling at the end of the game to get Wilt to 100, but that only resulted in 5 more FG attempts that the previous quarter. At Wilt's shooting percentage for the game it would account for ~6 points and that is ignoring the time on left when he hit 100. The real reason for his scoring total was 28-32 on free throws. Even without the effort to hit the magic number, Wilt scores 94+ and has the greatest game in NBA history.

Some good points but seriously if the Lakers fouled whoever they were playing while LEADING in the fourth quarter there would have been outrage if he hit 101. Wilt Chamberlain even said he wasnt comfortable with it. Did you peek at the article at all?

I'm sure there would have. At the time Wilt was breaking his own record. I did read the article, but my point is that they were doing that to hit 100, not break a record. Wilt sets the record, it doesn't matter if it is 94 or 100 or something between.

As far as competition, this game might be against inferior competition, but his 55 rebounds against Bill Russell is not. Overall I don't see him as playing against lesser because as was said before, there were fewer teams. All the games played against Russell, Thurmond, etc. more than make for games against bums.

although all of those feats on the list are amazing, nothing beats Rickey Henderson's 1,406 regular season career stolen bases. The next best (any era) was Lou Brock with 938. That's 50% more than Brock!!! That's Gresky-esque!

Even more mind-boggling to me is that Henderson is 2nd all-time in Bases on Balls w/ 2,190. This is a guy who opposing pitchers absolutely did NOT want to have on base, yet he walked more times than Babe Ruth, Ted Williams, and all the stars before him. He was only eclipsed by Barry Bonds after those ridiculous "inflated" years (statistical and head inflation, I mean).

Henderson owns a few more records, like career runs scored (w/ 2,295) and career lead-off home runs (w/ 81), but the SB record seems absolutely unbreakable, in my opinion.
