Any NBA list where you are forced to leave Kobe Bryant out is blasphemous, but this time around it has to be done in regards to who holds the NBA crown for their respective state and that's exactly what Wilt does for Pennsylvania. There is a good argument for the two being interchangeable or considered 'Pennsylvania 1A' and 'Pennsylvania 1B,' but we'll leave up to you to debate. Wilt Chamberlain was simply an anomaly for being 7'1 during his era of professional basketball. Prior to ever dunking a basketball in the NBA, he spent stints at the University of Kansas and as a member of the Harlem Globetrotters before being claimed as a territorial pick by the Philadelphia Warriors in the 1959 NBA Draft.
Instantaneously, Wilt 'The Stilt' became a force becoming the only NBA player to average 40 and 50 points per game during a regular season, scoring an NBA's highest 100 points in a single game, and becoming the only NBA player to average 30 points and 20 rebounds a game in a single season. The Philadelphia-bred Chamberlain surprisingly only won two NBA titles in his career, one with the 76ers in 1967 and one with Lakers in 1972. With four MVP Awards and one Finals MVP (1972) under his belt, Chamberlain defined what it meant to dominate in the NBA.
