The legendary scoresheet containing Wilt Chamberlain's mythical 100-point game will go up for auction in the near future, according to ESPN's Darren Rovell. The scoresheet, which is signed by the late Chamberlain after becoming the first man to reach triple digits scoring as a member of the Philadelphia Warriors, is expected to fetch around $100,000 or more, per Rovell.

Wilt Chamberlain would have a rousing start to his night with a 25-point quarter, netting 41 points at the half and giving the Warriors an 11-point lead heading into the third quarter. His scoring barrage wouldn't be done just yet — pouring in 28 more in the third and a whopping 31 in the fourth to reach the century mark — a performance that is now legendary to every basketball fan and historian.
It's only suiting that this signed scoresheet would net $100,000 or more, as the price is just as fabled as the stories that have come out since this March 2, 1962 night that forever changed the history of the league.
