On 2 March 1962 a match became legend: “The night before I had an appointment with a woman: I didn’t sleep much …”
It is such a resounding record that it is unlikely to ever be beaten. A record at Wilt Chamberlain, one of the most incredible scorers the NBA has ever had. On March 2, 1962, exactly 60 years ago, he scored 100 points in a single game. “When I read it in the paper, I thought it was a typo,” admitted Nate Thurmond, one of the opponents trying to stand up to Wilt. The reality is that it was impossible to do this, especially that day for the New York Knicks.
