Wilt Chamberlain‘s scoring numbers were completely obnoxious, especially during his career with the Warriors.
Wilt came into the NBA and led the league in scoring with 37.6 points per game as a rookie. Chamberlain went on to lead the league in points per game in each of his first six seasons, and he was wearing a Warriors uniform for five-and-a-half of those years.
Chamberlain also led the NBA in field goal percentage during three out of his six years with the Warriors.
Chamberlain is the Warriors’ all-time leading scorer as he racked up 17,783 points in just 5.5 seasons.
Wilt averaged 41.5 points per game as a Warrior, which is 15.8 points ahead of Kevin Durant who sits at number two on that list.
Chamberlain was probably the most dominant scorer to ever play the game, which puts him on top of the list of all-time great scorers in Warriors history.
