The 100 pt. game has to be up there though for me. The greatest fib in the history of sports, the moon landing of sports.

When was this disproven?!

 

[PortCityProphet]

honestly no. ALL-Pro of course future HOF yes. But in football I don't consider too many defenders at all superstars. QB, RB, WR generally.

When was this disproven?!

I think he's referring to the fact that its never really been proven either. No video proof, not saying I believe dude.

"The game was not televised, and no video footage of the game exists; there are only audio recordings of the game's fourth quarter. The NBA was not yet a major sports league and struggled to compete against college basketball. The attendance at this game was over half of capacity, and there were no members of the New York press at the game."

who said this?

 

[holidayinn21]

that is true, not a myth.

this has already been disproven.

the hornets needed a big man after zo left, jerry west wanted him, and they didn't want a project for rookie coach dave cowens.

Steve Nash somehow being a result of D'Antoni's imaginary system

That was a myth spread by Houston911. The same houston who NOW uses nash's testicles to blow his nose while crying over kobe and durant losing in the same season.

It's just simple logic and examining the circumstances and context.

NBA was in dire straits, a mess. They needed a publicity stunt to garner attention, what better than to have some massive man-giant score 100 points.

Moreover, Wilt was a notoriously bad free throw shooter, no ocular proof, no video proof, barely any radio, all we have is Wilt with a piece of paper with 100 written on it

And it's tough to believe Wilt anyway because of his lying about the number of women he slept with, so his account of really anything in his life could be held up to scrutiny.

And even if he did do it, the achievement is decidedly not that special. He was playing a gaggle of part time chancers who had no business being on an NBA court.
