Crazy Stat of the Day.

Michael Jordan and Stephen Curry currently have the EXACT SAME career winning percentage (.659).

MJ: 825/1251 = 65.9%
Steph: 658/998 = 65.9%

This is both regular season and playoffs combined.

On this date in 1962, Wilt Chamberlain scored an NBA-record 100 points in a 169-147 Philadelphia Warriors win over the Knicks in Hershey, PA. He went 36-of-63 from the field and 28-of-32 from the line, which remain NBA records for most field goals and free throws made in a game.
