As we know from the claims in his autobiography, basketball wasn't the only sport Wilt Chamberlain liked to play. An avid golfer and volleyball player off the court, Wilt also once challenged Muhammad Ali to fight him in the ring. Wilt was obviously a man who liked to score,
winning 7 NBA scoring titles and ringing up 31,419 points with a 30.1 point career average, and he tallied a few points on a different hardwood floor, with strikes and spares, using this black AMF Impact KE21 bowling ball that is engraved "Wilt" in white capital letters just above the finger holes and the AMF logo. The ball comes with the original beige leather AMF bag with a darker brown leather design on the front. The ball is in excellent condition and the bag is in good condition, with a piece of patching torn off the exterior leather design If Wilt had an appetite for bowling, it's understandable. After all, the man liked big numbers and he only broke 100 once on a basketball court
