For decades, a controversial debate has lingered within NBA circles: did Wilt Chamberlain really score 100 points in a single game back in 1962? Some firmly believe in what the larger than life center accomplished that night. Others, however, have long treated the story like a basketball creepypasta, though they may now have to reconsider that skepticism, thanks to Bam Adebayo.

Adebayo created history on Tuesday, scoring 83 in a single game. He passed Kobe Bryant’s 81, and is now #2 in the list of players with the most points in a single game. Chamberlain holds that #1 spot, but many refuse to give importance to that, simply because there’s absolutely no footage from that game.

But after watching Adebayo drop 83 in 4K, Tyrese Haliburton for one is now convinced what Chamberlain did was real.

On a stream, the injured Indiana Pacers star admitted openly, “Wilt Chamberlain 100… I ain’t know if I believed it… but after what I watched yesterday… Wilt had 100”


Haliburton, like many, was in utter disbelief watching what Adebayo did. There were those claiming it was stat-padding, considering the fact that the Miami Heat were playing a Washington Wizards side that had their minds set on tanking. There were also those who kept pointing at the number of free throws Adebayo took (43).

The truth, however, cannot be changed. It was a historic night, that has to be celebrated, just like Bryant’s 81 against the Raptors, two decades ago.

There’s no footage of Chamberlain’s monstrous 100-point night. However, it has to be taken into account that in the 1960s, not every game was televised. Chamberlain’s Philadelphia Warriors vs. the New York Knicks on the evening took place in Hersey, PA. No one predicted anything special, considering both teams were mediocre.

If Adebayo’s Heat vs. Wizards performance was held in the ’60s, it’s almost certain that it would receive no broadcast. So, let’s come to a conclusion — Chamberlain did score 100. Why so certain? Because we saw Adebayo do something similar just two days ago, proving that it’s possible.
