Wilt Chamberlain left his mark on the NBA
At his time, Wilt Chamberlain marked the history of the league. The old pivot of Lakersof the 76ers and Warriors made short work of his opponents. While he retired in 1973, he still holds some of the most impressive records. Nowadays, Wilt Chamberlain is still the only player to have achieved the feat of scoring 100 points on his own in one game. The ex-pivot is also the best all-time rebounder with 23,924 rebounds taken during his career. The player still active closest to beating him is named Dwight Howardand it is very far since it has just under 15,000 career rebounds.
Bill Russell, the most successful man in the NBA
Bill Russellthe eternal rival of Wilt Chamberlainalso marked the NBA of his imprint. The legend of Boston Celtics contributed greatly to the dominance of his franchise between the late 1950s and the 1960s. In 13 seasons in the American League, Bill Russell was crowned champion 11 times. He remains today the most successful player in history, ahead of Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant.
Skiles, Stockton… The art of the decisive pass
If the points record in a game of Wilt Chamberlain is incredible, that of assists from Scott Skiles so is it. It front of Denver Nuggets in 1990, the playmaker who played for the Orlando Magic provided 30 assists. No other player has done better since. Some came close, but none beat it. John Stockton is one of the players who almost knocked down Scott Skiles. In 1991, the former leader of the utah jazz offered 28 baskets to his teammates against the Spurs. However, the latter does not have to be ashamed of his performance since he entered the history of the NBA as the best all-time passer. With his 15,806 assists, John Stockton shouldn’t be dethroned for quite a while.
