Former NBA star Ron Artest, known as Metta World Peace, has made a bold prediction on social media, stating that Victor Wembanyama will break Wilt Chamberlain‘s iconic record of scoring 100 points in a single NBA game.
Chamberlain achieved this feat in a game where his team, the Philadelphia Warriors, beat the New York Knicks 169-147 back in 1962.
