Standing Reach: 9-6.25 (3/4 inch shoe adjusted) I would have thought Wilt's feet were bigger so I checked and found this titbit of some pretty good centers/forwards. He bought 1,500 of them from the Alaskan bounty hunters eight years ago The spread is made from soft fur muzzles of Arctic wolves. One of the Wilt's three Great Danes sleeps on his master's bed beneath a sliding roof. On a cantilevered balcony, Chamberlain overlooks his pyramidic living room When not in use, Wilt's size 14 sneakers and his number 13 Lakers' uniform shirt hang in a 25圆 cedar wardrobe closet tended by his housekeeperĪ 16-foot Venetian glass chandelier dominates the dining room and $17,000 worth of custom-made chairsĪmong the concessions made specifically to Wilt's height are a wine rack high off the floor, an oversized shower, and a 14-foot-high front door Wilt's "X-rated room" is paneled in mirrors, upholstered with sofas, and dominated by a fur-covered waterbed There is no right-angled corner anywhere in the houseīasketball legend Wilt Chamberlain swimming in his pool The stone-walled pool room reflects Wilt's taste for color and for triangles.

It’s fitting because Wilt was larger than life - this is a guy who scored 100 points in a game, averaged 50.4 points a night in 1961-62, who averaged more than 30 points a game for nine seasons and more than 20 rebounds a game for a dozen seasons, whose career averages were 30.1 points and 22.9 rebounds a game, a man who dished out more assists than anyone in the league in 1968 just to show he could.
They will be available through the Postal Service or the Web site, so you’ll be able to get them in time to put on all those Christmas cards your wife buys, addresses and does all the work on for you (well, that’s how it goes at my house). eight) the new Wilt Chamberlain commemorative stamps will go on sale and they are larger than even the average commemorative stamp - two inches tall.
