When it comes to putting up numbers unlike anyone else in the history of basketball, no one did that more than former Los Angeles Lakers center Wilt Chamberlain. Whether it was his 100-point game, or averaging 50 points and 25 rebounds in a single season, Wilt was a one-of-a-kind phenomenon.
The 1972 season was a special one for Chamberlain and the Lakers. The team went on an NBA-record 33-game winning streak and would ultimately go on to win its first championship in Los Angeles. Chamberlain also marked himself in the history books forever on Feb. 16, 1972.
Even though the Lakers fell to the Phoenix Suns, 110-109, Chamberlain became the first player in NBA history to score 30,000 points in his career.
