Wilt Chamberlain
Awesome in size, strength, and athletic prowess, Wilt Chamberlain has experienced an unparalleled basketball career. He was the game's most devastating force and, almost befittingly in the turbulent times he dominated, its most controversial subject.
Chamberlain (born August 21, 1936) attended Overbrook High School in Philadelphia, then Kansas University. At Kansas U., he scored 52 points in his varsity debut against Northwestern. In 2 varsity seasons (1957-1958) he averaged 29.9 points and 18.3 rebounds.
The Jayhawks lost to North Carolina (by one point) in the 1957 NCAA finals, and that game has haunted Wilt ever since. It gave birth to his image as a "loser."
Professionally, he played with the Harlem Globetrotters (1959), bypassing his senior year at Kansas U.; Philadelphia-San Francisco Warriors (1960-1964); Philadelphia 76ers (1965-1968); Los Angeles Lakers (1969-1973). He was drafted originally as a 1st round territorial choice of the Warriors.
