Hall of Famer Wilt “The Stilt” Chamberlain (deceased) is easily the most accomplished player in NBA history. The 7 foot 1 inch Goliath, as he was often known, was a towering presence in the league for 14 years and remains the best early specimen of the super-sized NBA to come. His in-game dominance equaled his giant-like size—37 years after his retirement, Chamberlain is still the NBA’s single game point scoring king. He accomplished that feat in 1962 with an astonishing 100 point performance against the New York Knicks. Even more astounding is Wilt’s regular season point scoring record of 4,029 points. To put that number into perspective, Michael Jordan is the only other NBA player to even break the 3,000 point barrier in the regular season. Chamberlain is also the only player in NBA history to average more than 40 points per game in a season, but his untouchable mark remains his 50.4 points per game in the 1961-1962 season. These numbers would land “The Big Dipper” seven NBA scoring titles in his career. He also won nine field goal percentage and 11 rebounding titles, once even leading the league in assists. Had NBA statisticians recorded blocks during Wilt’s professional tenure, he surely would hold untouchable marks in that department as well. In all, 72 NBA records bear Chamberlain’s name, 63 of which he holds alone. So much of a game changer was Wilt that the NBA was forced to make a number of rule changes in his wake, including widening the lane to keep him and future big men further away from the basket. Not to be forgotten however, is Chamberlain’s legacy as a winner. In 1967, the Philadelphia native would achieve the ultimate of NBA prizes, a championship with his hometown 76ers. As was customary for Chamberlain, he delivered the title in dominating fashion. In the Eastern Conference Finals, Chamberlain faced his arch nemesis in Celtic Bill Russell, whom he thoroughly dismantled in the Sixers’ quick five game series victory. Next up in the Finals were the San Francisco Warriors, Wilt’s former team. Though the series did go six games, Chamberlain sealed the deal in the waning seconds of Game 6 when he thwarted the Warriors crafty pick and roll attempt off the inbound. Of the win Chamberlain said, “being a champion is like having a big round glow inside of you”. He would reignite that glow five years later with a second NBA Championship, this time with the LA Lakers, where he had earlier set an NBA record for the size of his contract, securing $250,000 post tax dollars from the team in 1968. He would prove the value of that initial contract when he was named the 1972 NBA Finals MVP. Chamberlain wore this jersey during his 1965-1966 campaign with the 76ers when he averaged 33.5 points per game and 24.6 rebounds per game. On the inside back left tail is the "Pearson" manufacturer’s tag. Next to this is the “40 65 13” embroidered felt strip tag. Across the front and on back is "PHILA." Above on front and back is the player number "13." All of the lettering and numbering is done in red tackle twill. The jersey shows excellent game-use and there appear to be no alterations of any kind.
