3. Wilt Chamberlain
Wilt Chamberlain quite possibly has the most individual accolades in league history.
From his record 100-point game to boasting the league’s highest points per game average (50.4), Chamberlain has a host of records. Standing at 7-foot-1, Chamberlain even led the NBA in total assists (702) during the 1967-68 season.
But for all his individual success, Chamberlain still was a winner.
He played the last five seasons of his career with the Lakers, winning a title with the team in 1972. His other championship came during the midst of his career in 1967, when he was with the Philadelphia 76ers.

Though Chamberlain was on the back end of his career with the Lakers, he still was a quality big man. During the 1968-69 season, his first with the Lakers, he scored 20.5 points a game and grabbed 21.5 rebounds. While with the franchise, he scored 17.7 points per game and grabbed 19.2 rebounds.
Much like Abdul-Jabbar and O’Neal, Chamberlain is arguably a top 10 player ever. According to NBA.com stats, he is the league’s all-time leading rebounder, and he’s also seventh all-time in points.
