bellissimo…. That was how the 20,000 number came into existence. [91] But in Game 5, the Lakers center scored 13 points and grabbed 31 rebounds, leading Los Angeles to a 117–104 win. Ci sono golfisti e giocatori di baseball, pugili e star del football, più un solo tennista (l’immenso Arthur Ashe) ma, fino a oggi, nessun giocatore di basket. Una frase che è divenuta a suo modo storica nel mondo del basket e che potremmo tradurre con un minaccioso “da questo momento non ne metterai più uno.” [80] In Game 3, Chamberlain grabbed 41 rebounds and helped the Sixers win 115–104. E stavolta Wilt vide sul serio piovere un’offerta sulla scrivania del proprio agente. La differenza dei valori fra le due squadre faceva decisamente pendere l’ago della bilancia dalla parte di Boston, ma Chamberlain veniva considerato in grado di sovvertire qualsiasi pronostico, tanto più considerando che durante le partite di Regular Season era emerso lampante che Russell, pur essendo l’unico giocatore al mondo in grado di contenerlo, non poteva certo arginarlo completamente. "[90], Chamberlain experienced a problematic and often frustrating season. I Philadelphia Warriors e i Boston Celtics incrociarono successivamente le armi nella finale della Eastern Division, in una sfida che tutta l’America sportiva attendeva e che poneva di fronte il miglior realizzatore e il miglior difensore della lega.

Si creano tanti piccoli capannelli, non sempre eterogenei. [74] Prior to Game 5, Chamberlain was nowhere to be found, skipping practice and being non-accessible. In that Game 7, the Sixers could not get their act together: 15,202 stunned Philadelphia fans witnessed a historic 100–96 defeat, making it the first time in NBA history a team lost a series after leading three games to one.

If Wilt Chamberlain only averaged 4 BPG for his career, he would have 5220 total blocks and be the all-time leader in blocked shots (Hakeem Olajuwon holds that record with 3830). [91] Cherry comments that according to some journalists, that Game 7 "destroyed two careers: Wilt's because he wouldn't take over and Van Breda Kolff because he wouldn't give in".[91].

E mai come in quegli anni il paragone con il suo eterno rivale Russell risultò assolutamente impietoso. Per mantenere il suo fisico tonico e bello, per continuare ad eccellere negli sport. Ma tornando alle nostre questioni di sport, nella stagione successiva, la 1964-65, Wilt saltò le prime partite per infortunio e i Warriors partirono con un pessimo record di 4 sconfitte consecutive. [46], In the 1962–63 NBA season, Gottlieb sold the Warriors franchise for $850,000 (equal to about $7.18 million today)[note 1] to a group of businessmen led by Marty Simmons from San Francisco, and the team relocated to become the San Francisco Warriors under a new coach, Bob Feerick. [5] With their fixation on Chamberlain, the Jayhawks shot only 27% from the field, as opposed to 64% of the Tar Heels, and trailed 22–29 at halftime. [5] Chamberlain was so dominant on the team that he scored almost 32% of his team's points and collected 30.4% of their rebounds. E difatti dopo quell’eliminazione, in accordo con i suoi atteggiamenti da divo guascone e molto spesso teatrale, Wilt dichiarò pubblicamente di essere intenzionato ad abbandonare la pallacanestro, ormai stanco del trattamento che anche in NBA riceveva da parte degli avversari. L’arrivo al draft del 1963 di un giovane Nate Thurmond e soprattutto quello del nuovo allenatore Alex Hannum sulla panchina dei Warriors, diede però sin dalla stagione successiva  i ben sperati frutti. In gara 3 Russell riuscì a compiere un autentico miracolo, mantenendo Chamberlain a solo due canestri dal campo nei primi tre quarti di gioco. [31] Teammate Bob Billings commented: "It was not fun basketball ... we were just out chasing people throwing the basketball back and forth. Agli occhi dei più apparve come un vero e proprio tradimento, un’onta di cui render conto a tempo debito.

Erano 210 in più quelli che Chamberlain portava a spasso con una disinvoltura unica per i campi Ncaa prima (a Kansas) e Nba poi (con Warriors, Sixers e Lakers), in una carriera leggendaria, definita meglio di tutto dal suo record più famoso – l’aver segnato 100 punti in una singola partita (con la maglia di Philadelphia, il 3 marzo 1962, contro New York). Chamberlain became a member of the Globetrotters team that made history by playing in Moscow in 1959; the team enjoyed a sold-out tour of the Soviet Union.

Gli allenamenti in palestra, ad esempio, il beach-volley dove si stava distinguendo come uno dei migliori giocatori del circuito, e soprattutto le donne. Era una costruzione immensa, completamente priva di angoli retti, abbellita da enormi lampadari di cristallo realizzati a Venezia, camini delle dimensioni di un palazzo, tavoli da biliardo, piscine olimpioniche, palestre, campi da basket, da tennis e da pallavolo. For the final play, Dick Harp called for Ron Loneski to pass the ball into Chamberlain in the low post. Chamberlain è stato un uomo cui la vita ha sempre arriso, baciato da un talento per lo sport non solo fuori dal comune, ma persino da ogni logica. [94], In the 1970–71 NBA season, the Lakers made a notable move by signing future Hall-of-Fame guard Gail Goodrich, who came back from the Phoenix Suns after playing for L.A. until 1968.

[167] Chamberlain later commented that he could see in hindsight how the interview could have been instrumental in hurting his public image. "He was more inquisitive than anybody I ever knew. Il grande Paul Arizin, ormai trentatreenne e prossimo al ritiro, non più valida spalla per Wilt, diede ragione al proprio coach, sottolineando come la differenza di valori fra Celtics e Warriors fosse così netta che neanche Chamberlain poteva alcunché. He preferred "The Big Dipper", which was inspired by his friends who saw him dip his head as he walked through doorways.

Wilt esordì dunque fra i professionisti nella sua città natale alla corte dei Warriors. The Sixers would post a 55–25 regular season record, and for his strong play, Chamberlain won his second MVP award. [note 1], The following season, Chamberlain started it with a 42-point and 31-rebound performance in a 133-123 road win against the Syracuse Nationals. Chamberlain war den Gegenspielern seiner Zeit weit überlegen und wird zu de… Ancor più comico fu l’episodio che vide protagonista Paul Silas il giorno in cui la forzuta power forward in maglia Celtics venne alle mani con Happy Hairston, all’epoca ala dei Lakers. È questo il motivo per cui non esistono registrazioni di quella partita e tutto ciò che rimane è un box-score scolorito e qualche vecchia foto che ha fatto epoca.

Solo un’ultima richiesta (già espressa da altri): non fateci aspettare troppo per il prossimo articolo…, che fame di wilt avevo…..come dice t-mac, non farci aspettare la primavera inoltrata per farci godere la second part…, Grazie a tutti. He later admitted that this loss was the most painful of his life. Per nulla intimorito, Wilt l’aveva affrontato, riuscendo infine ad afferrarlo per la coda e lanciarlo lontano, fra i cespugli.

It is notable as one of the few full-action images of Wilt Chamberlain as most of the other cards feature single-color backgrounds, filled in around him.

Dal canto loro i Jayhawks chiusero l’annata con 18 vittorie, 5 sconfitte e il mancato accesso al torneo NCAA. [71] Chamberlain later commented that he could see in hindsight how the interview was instrumental in damaging his public image.

If you lose, everybody says, 'How could he lose, a guy that size?' [24] In the end, after visiting the University of Kansas and conferring with the school's renowned college coach Phog Allen, Chamberlain proclaimed that he was going to play college basketball at Kansas.[24]. Quella del 1965 fu forse l’eliminazione più sofferta e frustrante per lui, la sconfitta che con ogni probabilità diede il via al profondo cambiamento che avverrà nel suo gioco, un cambiamento che nel giro di un paio d’anni lo porterà finalmente a mettere da parte le tanto adorate statistiche per avvicinarsi alla concezione di pallacanestro del suo eterno amico e avversario Russell. Post was not sent - check your email addresses! "[54], In Chamberlain's third season, the Warriors were coached by Frank McGuire, the coach who had masterminded Chamberlain's painful NCAA loss against the Tar Heels. Si arrivò dunque alla settima e decisiva partita. At the ages of 16 and 17, Chamberlain played several professional games under the pseudonym "George Marcus". [29] By this time, he had developed several offensive weapons that became his trademarks: his finger roll, his fade-away jump shot, which he could also hit as a bank shot, his passing and his shot-blocking.

When Abdul-Jabbar published his autobiography in 1990, he retaliated by writing a paper titled "To Wilt Chumperlane [sic]" in which he stated "Now that I am done playing, history will remember me as someone who helped teammates to win, while you will be remembered as a crybaby, a loser, and a quitter." Philadelphia vinse 49 partite, passando dall’ultimo al secondo posto nella Eastern Division e piazzandosi alle spalle dei soli Boston Celtics, campioni in carica. A dispetto di un supporting cast tecnicamente piuttosto rivedibile, in meno di un anno portò inoltre i suoi Warriors a guidare la Western Division e dunque a disputare le finali NBA.
