Did Wilt Chamberlain score 100 points in a single NBA game? It’s a famous story, but there’s a big problem: no video footage exists of the game. This is surprising because we do have game films from the same period. The lack of video makes me wonder if the story is entirely accurate.

To find out, my investigation will focus on a lot of key factors. First, I’m gonna look at the official game stats. I need to see if the number of points scored and how those points were scored (field goals, free throws) fits with what we know about Wilt Chamberlain’s usual performance in game and the typical scoring patterns of that era. Were the stats unusually high, compared to his average scores of other players scores from the same time? Were there any unusual scoring patterns?

Second, I’ll review news reports from that time. I’ll look at the newspaper articles and any other media posts of the game. I want to see if the reports agree with each other and if there’s any hint of disagreement in the original reporting. Were there any inconsistencies or questionable elements in how the game was originally described by the media?

Third, I will look and analyze for any eyewitness.  I’ll try to find what people who were at the game remember.  This is important because their memories can either support or challenge the official story. How reliable are these eyewitnesses? Do they agree with each other, or are there differences in their descriptions of the game?

Finally, I’ll see how the story of the 100-point game has evolved.  Has it changed in any significant way?  Has the focus changed from the details of the game itself to its legendary status?  Has the story been altered over time?

No video exists of Wilt Chamberlain’s supposed 100-point game, unlike other games from that time.  This lack of video, plus the chance that the story has been exaggerated or changed over the years, makes me doubt the story so no I do not believe Wilt Chamberlain Scored over 100 points in an NBA Game.
