Arch 2,1987 19ss the warriors a the enl Clit his teammates helped him score by Bill Barnard associated Pressw it Chamberlain was Humble i could t have come close without my teammates help because Iho Kunicka did t want me to Mako 100 " he waa contemptuous they were willing to do anything to Slop me.". And he was supremely arrogant scoring 100 Points is a Tot but. I maybe could Havo scored 140 if they had played straight up  once the Goliath of basketball Chamberlain May be an Enigma As a Man but As a player a was one of Iho greatest Ever to Wear an Aba uniform. His record of 100 Points in one game Lor the Philadelphia warriors against Iho new Vork kicks May stand braver. When discussing the subject the 7-foot-1 Chamberlain gives Muffi of the credit to hrs teammates who rallied to his support As the kicks held he baft swarmed around him defensively and committed repeated fouls to try to Slop him the Warrior won the game 169-147. La was a Challenge to my teammates to help a Chamberlain said in a Dalphone interview on the 25th anniversary of his remarkable game. Once we were Lar ahead the kicks disregarded trying to win the Gama and conceal rated on slopping me ii they had l just triad to Stop me without regard to whether hey would win or not t could have scored a lot More Chamberlain said two or three kicks told him later that they Ware ordered to play defense that Way by choir coach Eddie Donovan. It just was t right tha Way they were behind by 25 Points and than they re told to hold the Ball Chamberlain said. They must have considered it a stigma to Tel me score 100." according to Donovan however the touring worked both ways. They would Loul in and we would foul them Donovan said. The game became a farce but you try to keep anyone from scoring the Best you can Chamberlain said that what his Leam Roales did for him during the game was Way beyond the Call of duty. They were so Clever finding ways to get me the Ball. They had to do More than just give up open shots. They had to avoid Louls and pass me the Ball in  while unflagging in Praise of his teammates there is a Side of Chamberlain that shrugs off the feat As not particularly significant for someone like him. As outstanding As it May seem it s really a Normal thing thai did it he said. Coo have to remember that i averaged so Points a game that year. Players thai average 16 or 17 Points usually have at least one game during a season when they score 35. Thai s just what i did i doubled my average he bristles at suggestions hat scoring 100 Points in a game might be called the ultimate Salish act by a basketball player. Lota of people look at scoring As  Chamberlain said when you go out there and do the things you re supposed to do people View you As selfish. They Don t look at you that Way if yol re . Simpson or Eric Dickerson or Waller Payton and you re trying to gel As Many Yards As you can every Lime you touch the football. But when you in a scorer m basketball you can get labelled a gunner or a selfish  Chamberlain realizes that although he is More proud of averaging 50 Points for an entire season he is More remembered Tor 100 Points m a single game. I get constant reminders from fans who equate that game and my career As one and the  he said. People Don t talk about the 50-Pomt average the 69 13 lakers championship team i played Lor. They talk about the night i scored 100, that s my lag whether i like it or nol " the stars and stripes Page 15
