Some notes on the 61-62 Season
• The Chicago Packers enter the league, bringing the number of teams to 9.
• The NBA All-Star Game was played in St. Louis, Missouri, with the West beating
the East 150-130.
Local favorite Bob Pettit wins the game's MVP award.
• In a game played in Hershey, Pennsylvania, Wilt Chamberlain makes history by
scoring 100 points in
the Philadelphia Warriors 169-147 win over the New York Knicks. It still stands
as one of the greatest
individual feats in sports history. Chamberlain would go on to average 50 points
per game this season,
another record.
• This year witnessed the first and only occurrence of a player averaging a
triple-double throughout a
season when Oscar Robertson averaged 30.8 points, 11.4 assists, and 12.5
rebounds per game.
