There is NO chance for The Stilt to score 100 points. Back then he was one of the rare 7 footers. Rival Bill Russell, who wasn't even 7 feet (6'10" actually), often gave the Big Dipper trouble. Just think of all the great centers or power forwards today. Kareem who played against Chamberlain went on to pass him in scoring. Wilt wouldn't be able to compete against Shaq, Duncan, Garnett, Alonzo, Amare, or Ben Wallace. Players now are more athletic and versatile than before. Even if he was taller than those mentioned above, like Yao, he still wouldn't score 100. In the lane he would be clumsy and wouldn't be able to put up 70 shots with all the traffic and quick guards. There is a lot more contact now and Wilt would be shoved aside to the bench.

Yes, i think so. He is tall, he can shoot and he played with his heart. if he was still playing he would make a hundred points or more. Wilt Chamberlain is The highest scorer in The NBA wiTh 100 Points. He is the third Highest scoring player with 76 points and also the 4th, 5th, and 6th so i think he can more than 100 points or more.

if he had the exact same skill and dedication to his game he would probably average 15 pts 8 rebs.....he's an atrocious free throw shooter w/c means he would not average as much mins as back then and certainly not achieve franchise player status...he doesnt have a modern go to move...his finger rolls would be sent back to the 5th row by guys like camby and kirilenko...his career high would most probably be 37 pts...in this generation, a guy like josh smith would simply obliterate chamberlain...and smith is not even among the nba's elite....i have seen some espn classic games of wilt...he looks awkward sometimes and would be pushed out of the paint by any modern power forward in the nba...mid level talent players like reggie evans, haslem, jason collins would just rough him up...someone like olajuwon or duncan would just toy with him...i would probably think of him as a stronger version of lamarcus aldridge or tyson chandler...he would simply be overmatched in today's game...the game has evolved so much that any mediocre nba player would be a star in the old nba....

No, not beacuse of the players he would go against but the rules have now changed. You can't stand in the lane for more than 3 seconds anymore. Too many little ticy tac fouls on rebounds now a days.

depends on what team he plays for. if he plays on a horrible team then maybe- kobe scored 81 pts. in one game in like 3 quarters or something like that- chamberlain probably would shoot at a higher percentage- he shoots closer to the basket

In his prime against todays players NOWAY! The only competition he had back then was Bill Russell. Today he would average maybe 18pts a game.

I don't think he would be able to score 100 points today. I do think he would have a crazy PPG average though.

no if he cant score 100 point again that was luck and his team wants him to score 100 so they can win the game and that wasnt team work ok

No. There are more people that would be able to defend him than there used to be.
