I just listened to an interview with Bill Campbell, the announcer who broadcast Wilt's 100 point game 50 years ago. He said that nobody made a big deal about it. He said there is more of a big deal about the 50 year anniversary of the feat than there was about the feat itself.

By the way, here is an audio file of the 4th quarter of that game March, 2, 1962-

The closest anyone has come to Wilt's 100 point record is 81 points by Kobe Bryant against the Toronto Raptors on 1/22/06. Here are all the players who have scored more than 50 points in a game.-

Wilt has 5 of the top 7 all time highest number of points in a game, and 15 of the top 22. Wilt scored 50 points or more 109 times. Michael Jordan did it 31 times, and Kobe is next with 17.
