Very scarce Wilt Chamberlain ROOKIE Unscored program.

February 23, 1960 Madison Square Garden Doubleheader.

New York Knickerbockers vs Minneapolis Lakers.

Boston Celtics vs Philadelphia Warriors.

Wilt Chamberlain ROOKIE year.

In his first NBA season, Chamberlain averaged 37.6 points and 27 rebounds, breaking the previous regular-season records. He needed only 56 games to score 2,102 points, breaking the all-time regular-season scoring record of Bob Pettit, who needed 72 games to score 2,101 points. Chamberlain broke eight NBA records and he was named both Rookie of the Year and MVP that season.

Chamberlain outscored Russell with 53 points against Russell's 22 points, but Boston won the game and the Chamberlain-Russell rivalry would grow to become one of the NBA's greatest of all time.
