What's more impressive: scoring 100 points in a single game or scoring 60-plus points in three straight games twice in the span of a month and a half?
Wilt Chamberlain accomplished both during a dominant stretch of the 1961-62 NBA season.
Reigning NBA MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is in pursuit of one of Chamberlain's many other NBA scoring records. The Oklahoma City Thunder guard scored 35 points in a 114-100 win against the Memphis Grizzlies on Nov. 9, marking his 83rd consecutive game with 20-plus points. It's the third-longest streak of scoring at least 20 points in NBA history, trailing Chamberlain's streaks of 126 games (1961-63) and 92 games (1963-64).
