Wilt Chamberlain scored 66 points as the Lakers defeated the Suns,
134-116. That’s a career night for most people, but not Wilt. After
all, this was the guy who once scored 100 in a game and already had a
60-point game earlier in the season.
"I don’t get any extra thrill out of scoring that many points, but I
do to the extent that not every guy in the world can do the same
thing," Chamberlain told The Times’ Mal Florence.
Anyone reading old Lakers stories has to be struck by the complexity
of Chamberlain’s comments from game to game. Not many athletes would
compliment the Forum crowd but add a twist that "fans are funny, you
can’t give ’em enough. If you get 50. they want 60, then 70."
