“Wilt the Stilt,” Chamberlain gets record rebounds

Back in 1960, the basketball game against the Philadelphia Warriors and Boston Celtics was not only electric but historical as well.  Wilt Chamberlain of the Warriors scored a record of 55 rebounds, the most in a single game. 

According to history.com, “The seven-foot-one-inch Chamberlain--often called "Wilt the Stilt," a nickname he detested, or "The Big Dipper," because he was so tall that he had to dip his head to get through the doorway--was, sportswriters and fans agree, one of the best offensive basketball players of his era. He broke more than 70 NBA records. In his 14-year career in the NBA, he scored 31,419 points. (The only player with a higher tally is Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who played six seasons--514 games--longer than Chamberlain did.) He was the highest scorer in the NBA from 1960-1966, and led the league in rebounding for 11 of his 14 seasons.”
