Wilton Norman Chamberlain (August 21, 1936 – October 12, 1999) was an American basketball player. A 7'1" center, Chamberlain played for the Kansas Jayhawks, Harlem Globetrotters, Philadelphia/San Francisco Warriors, Philadelphia 76ers, and Los Angeles Lakers. He holds numerous NBA records such as averaging 50 points per game in a season and scoring 100 points in a single game. Chamberlain is widely considered the most dominant player of his era (alongside rival Bill Russell) and among the greatest players in basketball history.
