Wilt Chamberlain is one of the legends in the history of the NBA. The only player to score 100 points in a game and with career averages of 30.1 points and 22.9 rebounds, Chamberlain is one of those players who one had to see to believe.
Chamberlain spent 3.5 seasons with the Philadelphia 76ers and averaged 27.6 points and 23.9 rebounds while winning three MVPs and guiding the Sixers to the championship in 1967. The legendary big man was unbelievable and has his No. 13 jersey hanging from the rafters at the Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia.
HoopsHype ranked the top 20 centers in the history of the NBA and Chamberlain comes in ranked No. 3 on the list:
The most dominant big man offensively in NBA history, though that partially had to do with the level of competition Wilt Chamberlain faced in his era. Still, when you dominate at the level Chamberlain did, who cares who he did it against?
Chamberlain did come a little short in the team success department as he was usually better in the regular season than in the playoffs, something that many believe had to do with an unwillingness to get fouled late in close games due to his unreliable free throw.
Chamberlain is one of the best players in Sixers history and will always have the respect of the NBA world. The only centers ranked ahead of him were fellow legends Bill Russell and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
