Wilt Chamberlain, one of the most dominant players in NBA history, died Tuesday, October 12 at the age of 63. Chamberlain’s stature in the game was as big as he was. He stood 7-1 and towered over foes from high school in Philadelphia through college at the University of Kansas and finally in the NBA, where he played for three teams from 1959 through 1973. Among Chamberlain’s many achievements was the NBA’s only 100-point game, which came March 2, 1962, while playing for Philadelphia against the Knicks. Chamberlain led the NBA in scoring for each of his first seven seasons and finished his career with a 30.1 scoring average. photo gallery career stats the 100-point game wilt chooses kansas ...

The biggest coach of all: Wilt the rebuilt stilt by Doug Smith Newsday November 1973 SAN DIEGO The San Diego Conquistadors held a morning shooting practice before their game with the Nets last Saturday. It was an idea that San Diego coach Wilt Chamberlain borrowed from Los Angeles Lakers coach Bill Sharman. It also was an idea that didn't quite appeal to Chamberlain when he was playing for the Lakers. Billy Paultz, the Nets' 6-11 center, wandered into the practice session, and asked some of the San Diego players, "Is Wilt going to be here?" Tim Bassett, the Conquistadors' 6-8 rookie from Georgia, responded with an incredulous look, then said, "Wilt show up for a shoot around? No way." Stan Albeck, Chamberlain's assistant, directed the half-hour practice. The head coach, it seems, is just another commuter. Wilt flies down to San Diego from his home in Los Angeles when the Conquistadors have a game. He often does the same on practice days. But on game days, the shooting practices are in the morning and they last only 20 or 30 minutes, so Chamberlain stays home and catches a late afternoon flight to San Diego. Perhaps in a few years Chamberlain will write another book that will answer the second question Paultz asked the San Diego players: "What kind of coach is Wilt?"

Scoring 52 points in his 1956 college debut for the University of Kansas, Chamberlain led the Jayhawks to a 24-3 record and the national finals.
