On March 2, 1962, Wilt Chamberlain of the Philadelphia Warriors achieved one of the most remarkable feats in sports history by scoring 100 points in a single NBA game against the New York Knicks. Played at the Hershey Sports Arena in Pennsylvania, the game saw Chamberlain dominate the court, shooting 36-of-63 from the field and an unusually efficient 28-of-32 from the free-throw line. The Warriors won the game 169–147, but the final score was secondary to Chamberlain’s individual achievement, which shattered his own previous record of 78 points. The 100-point performance remains the highest single-game scoring total in NBA history and is widely considered one of basketball’s “unbreakable” records. Despite the lack of televised footage—only a few grainy radio recordings and photographs exist—the game solidified Chamberlain’s status as a legendary figure in professional sports. The iconic photo of Chamberlain holding a white piece of paper with the number “100” scrawled on it has become the definitive image of that historic night, symbolizing a level of dominance that has never been matched in the decades since.
