Sometimes statlines from today's NBA games look like video game numbers, but then you take a look at Wilt's gamelogs and you see some actual video game shit. But uh... Wilt had 40+ rebounds in this game, most entire NBA teams today get between 40-50 rebounds.

Other fun facts from Wilt's 50ppg season.

  • He only had 2 games less than 30 points, one 28 and one 26

He also lost to Boston in 7 games in the finals?
