Did you know Wilt Chamberlain never fouled out of an NBA Basketball game?

Not one time?

Never saw him play but heard the streak was very important to him and if he got to 5 fouls he would basically stop playing.

Saw him play tons of times...he was a man among boys....the rap on him was that he wasn't aggressive enough....Wilt was the man, but Bill Russell was the ultimate team player....(and I hated the Celtics growing up) Wilt won the statistics but Russell won the rings...

Had a coach in HS that always said if you are not fouling then you are not playing hard enough lol

yeah, i'd heard that before, and it is just crazy.

game was very very very different back then.

basically one big long 48 min run and gun fast break

Congrats James

Harden recorded his 19th straight 30-point game. The only other player in NBA history to score at least 30 points in 19 consecutive games is Hall of Famer Wilt Chamberlain.

That’s not the game I remember back then. Half court grind much of the time. Hard fouls through the lane. Players are pussies now.
