Hall of Famer Wilt “The Stilt” Chamberlain (deceased) is easily the most accomplished player in NBA history. The term game changer applies directly to Wilt, forcing the NBA to make rule changes including; widening the lane to keep him and future big men further away from the basket. Even more astounding is Wilt’s regular season point scoring record of 4,029 points. To put that number into perspective, Michael Jordan is the only other NBA player to even break the 3,000 point barrier in the regular season. His accolades are endless, and legend timeless.
