The Sixers are celebrating the 50th anniversary of Wilt Chamberlain's 100-point game tonight. A few years before that accomplishment he was a teen sensation at Overbrook High School who worked summers as a bellhop.
one of the all time greats, how cool was it that he spent a majority of his career here between the warriors and sixers/ its too bad the national media associates him with those dirty lakers.
still trying to figure out why he went to kansas in lieu of a local school...
Paul and I were just talking about this.
ReplyDeleteMy Dad was Overbrook class of 52' and has fond memories of Wilt. He no doubt changed the game more than any other player.
ReplyDeleteI think he still has 72 basketball records to his name. His sisters called him Dippy!! Who knows why??
