We Have PROOF Wilt Chamberlain Actually Scored 100 Points

PABLO TORRE FINDS OUT

THROWBACK CLIP

On March 2, 1962, Wilt Chamberlain conjured the supernatural. Why do so many people now think it was fake news, instead of real sports history? Our quest for irrefutable proof (and poetry) unpacks boxes that you won't find in the Hall of Fame: The tapes from an author who interviewed 56 people in attendance. The radio highlights, which we unearthed from a basement closet and a vault in Hershey, Pennsylvania. Plus: the last witness left standing to check the facts — and shake a fist at the naysayers.

I can see why ESPN fired Pablo. He’s a real journalist.

Who didn't vote for Ichiro to enter the hall of fame? That's what we need to know

If I owned a big media company this is the sort of podcast id pick up for 7 figures.

What I love about PTFO, is the true reimagining of the investigative reporter. I adore how each topic is never shelved, like this 100 point game topic, which is why we all keep coming back, we know you won’t quit.
Your new partnership is well deserved.

The crazy thing is that Wilt Chamberlain (with the Philadelphia Warriors) lived in New York City at the time and hitched a ride back to NYC with the Knicks players. Not a crazy idea. JJ Redick lived in Brooklyn when he played on the Sixers.

14:05 Bro is name dropping everyone that got buckets against their team. Wilt getting 100 seems way more realistic. 😂

Interesting that Ruklick who spoke against the game actually is the one who assisted Wilt on his last basket. It was Ruklick's only assist (ff to 19:44).

Keep findin out, don’t let the money play with what you do and how you are. You, Stewart, and Oliver are our hope for the future of truth and accountability.

This is the type of sports journalism that we need more of today. Great job!

Joe Ruklick is the Alex Jones of the NBA

I wasn’t aware this record was ever in question.

Now I'd love to see and confirm the "Quintuple Double" game on 3/18/68.

This is exactly how I thought it probably went down, just an amateur radio enthusiast being in the right place at the right time with the proper equipment... It's still wild to me that the entire conspiracy theory is based around the fact that a an NBA game from 1962 wasn't filmed. There were only 11 regular season games broadcast on television that year. The finals weren't even aired live in 62, they were filmed and edited into a Saturday afternoon Wide World of Sports special. Hell, there is a reason it's so hard to find actual game footage from this era, most of the historical b-roll in any modern video made about this subject are just stills.
