He also twice made All-Defensive First Team. During his NBA career, Chamberlain committed few fouls despite his rugged play in the post, and he never fouled out of a regular-season or playoff game in his 14-year NBA career. His career average was two fouls per game despite having averaged 45.8 minutes per game over his career. He had five seasons in which he committed fewer than two fouls per game, and a career-low of 1.5 fouls during the 1962 season, in which he also averaged 50.4 points per game. His fouls per 36 minutes—a statistic that is used to compare players who average vastly different minutes—was 1.6 per game.<a href="#cite_note-ESPN_1999-9">[9]</a> Chamberlain's game evolved during his playing career. Chamberlain's Lakers coach Bill Sharman said, "First he was a scorer. Then he was a rebounder and assist man.

He then multiplied that number by the number of days he had been alive and subtracted 15 years, giving him the 20,000 number.<a href="#cite_note-246">[220]</a> In response to public backlash regarding his <a href="/wiki/Promiscuity" title="Promiscuity">promiscuity</a>, Chamberlain later said: "the point of using the number was to show that sex was a great part of my life as basketball was a great part of my life.
