Because Chamberlain played in overtime games he averaged more minutes per game than the regulation 48; in fact Chamberlain would have reached the 3890-minute mark if he had not been ejected in one game after picking up a second technical foul with 8 minutes left to play. In Game 6 Chamberlain scored 45 points and almost single-handedly equalized the series in a 135–113 Lakers win and with Reed out the Knicks seemed doomed prior to Game 7 in New York. The Panthers comfortably won the Public League title after again beating Northeast in which Chamberlain scored 40 points and later won the city title by defeating South Catholic 74–50.

Chamberlain holds numerous NBA all-time records in scoring rebounding and durability categories. Wilton Norman "Wilt" Chamberlain (August 21 1936 – October 12 1999) was an American basketball player. Chamberlain was subsequently enshrined in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1978 elected into the NBA's 35th Anniversary Team of 1980 and chosen as one of the 50 Greatest Players in NBA History of 1996.
