Dominating the game as few players in any sport have done, Wilt Chamberlain scored and rebounded at will despite being double- and triple-teamed. "Wilt the Stilt" re-wrote the NBA scoring records. Among his career accomplishments are the records for most 50+ point games, consecutive 40+ point and 30+ point and 20+ point games, and most points in a single game (100 in 1962 vs. the Knicks). Wilt is one of only two players to be named league MVP, All-Star Game MVP and NBA Rookie of the Year (1960). He was first in total points (31,419) until passed by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and in scoring (30.1 points per game) until passed by Michael Jordan. Wilt still holds the NBA career records for rebounds (23,924 total and 22.9 rebounds per game) and minutes played per game (45.8). In the 1962-63 season with the Warriors, Wilt led the league in minutes, field goals attempted, field goals made and field goal percentage, rebounds (total and per game), points, and scoring (44.8 points per game). A 13-time All-Star, he was named one of the 50 greatest players in NBA history in 1996. Chamberlain was elected to the Basketball HoF in 1978. On the inside back collar of the jersey is a small manufacturers tag with the jersey size "44" on it. Across the front of the jersey is "SAN FRANCISCO." Below that and on the back of the jersey is the player number "13." All lettering and numbering is done in yellow on blue tackle twill. The jersey shows good game use with worn letters and some loose threads. The jersey appears to have no alterations of any kind. The jersey is accompanied by a letter from the team ball boy stating Wilt removed the manufacturers tags in his jerseys
