Some would be surprised to see the only player who averaged 50 points a game, and the only player who ever lead the NBA in rebounds, scoring and assists in his career only seventh in the rankings.
The thing is, Chamberlain's numbers really tailed off at the end of his career. Some falsely tie this in with the widening of the lanes. The truth is, his scoring in 1963, the last year the lanes were 12 feet, was 44.8. His scoring in 64 was 36.0. So yes, there was a drop off, but nowhere nearly as dramatic as some have made out.
Still, no matter what you make of him, he was one of the great scorers in history, and the fact that he led the league in assists as a center is mind-boggling.
