Known as ``Wilt the Stilt'' and ``The Big Dipper,'' the 7-foot-1 Chamberlain dominated the NBA from 1959 through 1973, when he played for the Philadelphia (later the San Francisco) Warriors, the 76ers and the Lakers. He scored 31,419 points during his career, averaging 30.1 points for his career. He also led the league in career rebounding with 23,924. One of only two men named MVP and rookie of the year in the same season (1959), he was also MVP in 1966 through 1968. He led the NBA in scoring seven straight seasons, 1960 to 1966, and led the league in rebounding 11 of his 14 seasons. One of his most famous records is the 100 points he scored in a single game in the Philadelphia Warriors' 169-147 defeat of the New York Knicks on March 2, 1962, in Hershey, Pa.
