March 2 1962 Wilt Chamberlain scored 100 points in a Warriors win over the Knicks at Hershey Sports Arena with 4 124 attendance. He shot 36 of 63 and 28 32 from the line as New York fouled him relentlessly creating a historic one man scoring record.
In a candid revisit, Wilt Chamberlain credits Philadelphia Warriors teammates for supporting his 100-point night against the New York Knicks on March 2, 1962 in Hershey. He notes Knicks' defense and coach Eddie Donovan’s orders to foul and stop him, while downplaying the feat as part of his high scoring career.
The 1962 Philadelphia Warriors star reportedly scored 100 points against the Knicks with varied accounts of the final basket. Chamberlain himself offers dunk or jumper in different retellings, while reporters recall a dunk or near-dunk as teammates offer differing views.
