The internet loves a good “lost footage” moment, and NBA fans thought they finally struck gold. Over the weekend, X lit up with a viral clip claiming to show Wilt Chamberlain’s legendary 100-point game. And with that came the reactions, the debates, and most heavily, the nostalgia. This drops right after Nikola Jokic posted the most efficient 50-point game, closing in on Wilt’s historic feat.

However, as the hype continued to climb, doubt began to set in. Longtime hoops fans remembered the old stories. Historians remembered the facts. Pretty soon, everyone started asking the same question: Wait… did someone actually find this tape?

That leads us straight to the truth. As of the reported date, the NBA and multiple fact-check sources confirm that no video footage exists of Chamberlain’s 100-point masterpiece. The game wasn’t televised or filmed.

The viral clip making the rounds is actually from his 73-point performance on November 16, 1962, also against the Knicks. A fact-check note under the post even flags the mislabeling.

For context, Chamberlain’s 100-point explosion remains the greatest single-game scoring feat in league history, backed by official NBA records and box-score documentation, just not by film.

Wilt Chamberlain’s Great-Nephew Joins Temple

In Philadelphia, the name “Chamberlain” still hits different. It carries history, weight, and a story that feels stitched into the fabric of the city. However, a new chapter is being written on North Broad, and it bears the same last name, but with a different mission.

Temple fans already know the headline. Wilt Chamberlain’s great-nephew, Olin Chamberlain Jr., is suiting up for the Owls. And while the family legacy looms large, his focus is sharper – carving out his own lane while honoring the one that came before him.

Per Temple’s program sources, Chamberlain Jr. chose to stay home after a standout run at St. Joseph’s Prep, joining the Owls as a walk-on. He said, “My great uncle is why I’m here. But being a bigger and better person — being a great person — that’s more important to me than being the best basketball player that I could possibly be.”

“My great uncle is why I’m here. But being a bigger and better person — being a great person — that’s more important to me than being the best basketball player that I could possibly be.”

And now, Chamberlain Jr. is doing exactly that – embracing the name, rewriting the pressure, and building a legacy that stands on its own.
