Wilt Chamberlain scored 41 points on Feb. 14, 1966 and became the NBA’s all-time scoring leader (20,884 points), passing Bob Pettit.
That wasn’t even his best Valentine’s Day game.
On Feb. 14, 1962:
— 42 PTS
— 27 REB
Wilt is one of just three players in NBA history with multiple 40-point games on Valentine’s Day
(Bob McAdoo, Kevin Durant)
Very fitting that the man rumored to have thousands of “partners” is also one of the greatest Valentine’s Day performers ever.
