Fiftieth anniversary of the day .... - Leftcoast - 03-02-2012
Today is the 50th anniversary of the day Ca.l's Darrell Imhoff gave up 100 pts in an all time great 59er performance. I know I'll be celebrating!

Imhoff's dismal performance was not without weenie whining. As Gary Pomerantz notes in his book Wilt, 1962, Imhoff was in foul trouble soon enough:
After one foul, he snapped at the referee, "Well, why don't you just give the guy a hundred now and we'll all go home!"
The Knicks traded Imhoff to Detroit that same year.

I'm surprised Chamberlain gets all the buzz for that game. Look at the box score -- Al Attles had 17 points and was PERFECT from the line AND the field!

I grew up in Pasadena. The basketball coach at Blair High School was Cleveland Buckner. He was one of the guys who tried to guard Wilt that night. Blair wasn't very good in hoops. :)
