Be honest.
Until “Linsanity,” did you know that there was a National Basketball Association record for the most points scored in a player’s first five career starts?
If you didn’t, join the crowd. That’s the kind of record that is buried in the statistical weeds. Until someone like Jeremy Lin, the latest New York Knicks phenom, comes along, such records and “firsts” are so esoteric as to be invisible.
By contrast, there are iconic records that fans can recite in their sleep. One of the greatest of these – Wilt Chamberlain’s 100-point game – celebrates its golden anniversary Friday (March 2).
Wilt’s mega scoring outburst is right up there with Joe DiMaggio’s 56-game hitting streak when it comes to its presumed unbreakability.
While impressive, Lin’s five-game, 136-point run, which broke Shaquille O’Neal’s 20-year-old record of 129 points, doesn’t feel nearly as invincible. And certainly it’s not as appealingly simple as the memorable round number Wilt attained in a single game.
The golden anniversary of Chamberlain’s 100-point effort, therefore, seems the perfect opportunity to examine 10 NBA firsts, starting, naturally, with Wilt’s game for the ages.
