Funko has announced an exclusive Wilt Chamberlain NBA Basketball Funko Pop! vinyl figure inspired by his legendary record-breaking 1962 100-point game with the Philadelphia Warriors.
New Wilt Chamberlain 100-Point Game Funko Pop! figure
On March 2, 1962, Wilt Chamberlain broke the NBA single-game scoring record by scoring 100 points for the Philadelphia Warriors in a 169–147 win over the New York Knicks at the Hershey Sports Arena in Hershey, Pennsylvania.
By scoring 100 points, he broke his own previous record of 71 points, which he had set in December 1961. Chamberlain set five other league records that game and both teams broke the record for most combined points in a game (316).
The game was not televised and no video footage of the game has been recovered since. There are only audio recordings of the game’s fourth quarter.
Chamberlain’s 100 points are widely considered as one of the greatest records in the history of the sport. The closest player to 100 points was Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers, who scored 81 in a 122–104 win over the Toronto Raptors on January 22, 2006.
Funko has given Wilt Chamberlain, the legendary record holder, a Funko Pop! makeover and transformed him into a Funko Pop! vinyl figure. The new Funko Pop! Wilt Chamberlain figure is depicted in his 1962 Philadelphia Warriors uniform and holding up a sheet of paper with the iconic text “100” on it, symbolizing his record-breaking 100-point game.
The newly announced Wilt Chamberlain (1962 Philadelphia Warriors) 100-Point Game Funko Pop! NBA Basketball figure is a Funko Shop Exclusive and the latest release of the Pop! NBA Basketball series.
