I'm curious about why you picked this year, rather than the 61-62 season when he averaged 48.5 minutes and 50.4 points?Wilt Chamberlain, 1959-60
NBA Photo Library/Getty Images
Statistics: 37.6 PPG, 2.3 APG, 27.0 RPG
PER: 28.0
Wilt Chamberlain has posted some of the gaudiest statistics the NBA has ever witnessed. And he wasted no time doing it.
His 1959-60 campaign was his first season in the NBA, yet he went on to break eight separate records, including points per game (37.6) and rebounds per game (27.0).
The former Kansas Jayhawk dominated in a way never seen before.
He poured in an astounding 43 points and 28 rebounds in his inaugural NBA game and showed no signs of his youth. The rookie also led the league in minutes per game, PER and finished second in free throws made.
Additionally, he immediately helped lead the Philadelphia Warriors to a 49-26 record.
His rare combination of size, skill and athleticism was completely foreign to the NBA at the time, despite his relative similarity to Celtics great Bill Russell. In comparison, Chamberlain stood three inches taller and was nearly 60 pounds heavier than Russell

Wilt is the most amazing athlete the NBA has ever seen.
He tested with a 48 inch vertical at Kansas
He ran the 220 hurdles at Kansas
He was freakishly strong. He benched over 500 pounds.
He once dunked the ball so hard through the hoop that it broke the other center's toe.
After retired and was 50+, most considered him the greatest volleyball player alive.
Wilt was an absolute beast.

lol at the benchpress. Listen, Wilt was a freak no doubt. But many if not most of Wilt’s accomplishments are from his mouth and unproven.

He ran his mouth a lot, but please don't disrespect the man. He was in an athletic class all his own.

"In the '60s and early '70s, there was a player in the NBA by the name of Gus Johnson— he was kind of like the Charles Barkley of the 60s—very strong, quick, and a great leaper. Johnson was listed at about 6'6" and about 230 lbs, but he didn't have as much fat on him as Barkley did.
Anyway, one day, late in the 1967 season (the year Wilt's 76ers won the NBA title and went 68-13 in the regular season), Gus Johnson (who was playing for the Bullets), drove to the basket and was able to dunk over Wilt, which not a lot of guys could do. Wilt wasn't exactly pleased.
Later in that same game, Gus got the ball on a fast break, and the only guy back was Wilt. Gus was going to try to dunk it again. He had a perfect 45 degree angle toward the basket to try for the slam.
This time, when Gus reached the peak of his leap, Wilt went up and, with one hand, caught the ball cleanly.
All Wilt did was get his hand on the ball. Gus's forward motion immediately stopped, and he felt something pop in his shoulder. He hit the floor, and when they examined him, he became the first and only player ever to suffer a dislocated shoulder on a blocked shot.
Wilt didn't even foul him on the play, all he did was block the dunk. He never even touched him, he got all ball."

Lol. Thanks buddy.
I find it funny how people don't understand how much Wilt dominated the game. They called him selfish, then we went and led the entire league in assists. Still the only center in league history to accomplish the feat.
The NBA literally changed the rules to stop him from dominating so much. In the last 40 years, the NBA actually makes it easier for guys like Jordan and everybody since.
Wilt used to dominate pickup games against Magic and Worthy in the 80’s. He was in his late 40’s early 50’s. I have no doubt he would have been able to dominate in any era but some of the stuff he has said in the past is greatly exaggerated for sure.
