So here’s Wilt Chamberlain’s season averages for the 1961-1962 season: 48.5 minutes per game, 50.4 points per game, 25.7 rebounds per game, 2.4 assists per game.

He also averaged 25.7 rebounds in 1961-1962, winning his third consecutive rebounding title. Chamberlain scored 3,586 points for a 44.8 average in 1962-1963.īut Wilt Chamberlain wasn’t all about scoring points. Jordan ranks third on the all-time single-season list behind Wilt and…well, Wilt. To put that in perspective, the most points that Michael Jordan ever scored in a single season was 3,041, which he did in 1986-1987 when he averaged a career-high 37.1 points per game. In those 80 games for the Warriors in 1961-1962, Chamberlain scored a total of 4,029 points, which averages out to 50.4 points per game (50.3625 to be exact), both of which are easily NBA records. But it’s likely that nobody could have expected what he actually did. With as dominant as Wilt Chamberlain was - many still believe he’s the most dominant player in NBA history and there’s a very strong argument for that - he was naturally going to put up some crazy stats playing that many minutes.

The season before, he’d averaged 47.76 minutes per game and in 1962-1963, he averaged 47.58 minutes per game. ![]() Divide that by 80 games and you get 48.525 minutes per game. With Wilt playing every second, he racked up a total of 3,882 minutes. Outside of that, Chamberlain played every minute of every game, which included seven that went to overtime, one of which went two OTs and another that went three. And that was because he was ejected after getting a second technical foul in a game against the Los Angeles Lakers, with whom he’d later win a championship, on January 3, 1962. Wilt played all 80 games for the Warriors that season (the NBA went to an 82-game schedule in 1967-1968) and only missed eight minutes and 33 seconds of the entire season. ![]() In 1961-1962, Wilt Chamberlain actually managed to average 48.5 minutes per game, which seems impossible, right? But here’s how he did it. To put that in perspective, Shaquille O’Neal never averaged that many minutes per game and only ever reached 40 (which he hit right on the number) one time during his 19-year career. And in those 14 seasons, Chamberlain led the league in minutes played nine times, never averaging less than 42.1 minutes per game. Over the course of his 14-year career, the 13-time All-Star played less than 73 games just once and played 80 or more games nine times. #TYSON BEEM PRO#Internal applications, then our B2B based Bizapedia Pro API™ might be the answer for you.Wilt Chamberlain is easily one of the most durable superstars in NBA history.
