For sale is an awesome 1961-62 TYPE 1 Original Photo of Wilt Chamberlain. In this outstanding action shot you see Wilt as the powerhouse player that he was. You see Wilt with a full Syracuse Nats around him as if it was one against three. He would put on a clinic there in New Jersey that night by putting up a monster 44 point game. This is something we would normally celebrate but with Walt it was a down night. Sounds crazy but he was averaging 50 points a game that season. He had already put up a 100 point game against the Knicks setting a all-time record along with scoring 4,029 points for this season. Even with the 72 records that he had set over his career these two scoring records from this 1961-62 season held the test of time!
