Wilt went 0-100 real quick ..

[dantheman9758]

No video cameras present in the small Hershey arena so the game wasn't video taped or televised. But the play by play was broadcast live to Hershey, NY and Philadelphia on the radio. The broadcast wasn't known to have been recorded by anyone until in the late 1980's some dude found an old audio reel in his dad's attic of sports memorabilia or something and by some freak chance it turned out to be the full fourth quarter of Wilt's 100 point game. Here it is, uncut. RIP Bill Campbell, radio broadcaster doing play by play, who just passed 2 days ago, which prompted me to upload this, I been sitting on it a few years.

2:56 "we're just conjecturing here how many can he make he's got 9 minutes and 24 seconds left and the guesses are running as high as 100"



6:19 "he now has 81 points... 81....."



13:36 "Guerrin has 35, Buckner 33 ..When a guys getting 89 you don't notice fellas in the 30's"



22:15 "He has 98 points ... in professional basketball ... that's a lotta points if your playin against grammar school kids isn't it?"

They rushed the floor and stopped the game when he got 100.

With that being said Kobe's 81 is still more impressive

No. But maybe close. Wilt can't be compared to mere mortals. Kobe is iconic but he is still mortal. You never wan't to get into a debate about Wilt's stats. Can't win breh. It's funny how cacs prop up Babe Ruth's records but reduce Wilt to some footnote because of the "times" he played in or the"competition" he played against. Other than maybe Gretsky, Wilt has the most enduring records in all of sports.
