Wilt Chamberlain has some of the craziest stats in NBA history. Now, some people will claim that these numbers are inflated due to high pace. While there certainly is some truth to this, straight pace adjustments fail to account for changes in rules and efficiency.

As you can see, he dips in scoring(though not by much) and rebounding while gaining in assists and efficiency.

This is counter to the narrative that his stats are only that good due to the high paced era he played in.
