As you can see, Wilt had more 60 point games (32) than everyone else in the history of the NBA combined (25). And he retired in 1973. The league STILL hasn't caught up with him.
For the record, Wilt had 45 fifty-point games in one season, which is more than anyone else had in a career (Jordan had fewer than 40 fifty point games in his career, but does rank 2nd to Wilt in this category. Wilt had 122 fifty point games)..
