2. Wilt Chamberlain

There’s only one word that comes to mind when trying to describe Wilt Chamberlain, and that word is legendary.

Inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1979, Chamberlain was almost a guaranteed Hall of Fame member from the moment he stepped onto the court. Some consider Chamberlain the best player of all time.

In his rookie season in 1959, Chamberlain stepped out and made an immediate name for himself. Scoring 37.6 points per game, Chamberlain was an absolute beast and helped elevate the sport into a national pastime.

Many won’t like him coming in at No. 2. That said, Chamberlain has many unique records.

Wikipedia says he has 72, 68 of which he is the sole owner. Wilt averaged the most total rebounds in the league in 11 seasons and averaged the most points per game in seven which included one where he notched over 50 per game.

He was a force in his day and easily the reason the Warriors were one of the more successful franchises early on.
