The Legend of Wilt’s 5×5 Game

On March 18, 1968, Wilt Chamberlain officially recorded a triple-double with 53 points, 32 rebounds, and 14 assists in a dominant win over the Lakers But the myth goes deeper. Legendary statistician Harvey Pollack—who tracked data long before blocks and steals were officially recorded—credited Wilt with an astonishing 24 blocks and 11 steals that night, creating what would be a historically unmatched quintuple-double. Because blocks and steals weren’t officially tallied back then, this performance remains unofficial, yet it’s still the gold standard for “what-if” stat lines in NBA lore. #WiltChamberlain #NBAHistory #QuintupleDouble #BasketballLegends #BasketballStats #NBAHistory #Sports
