LOS ANGELES (AP) — Wilt
Chamberlain, the mighty 7-foot-
1 center who dominated basket
ball — once scoring 100 points
in a single game — and later
stirred controversy with boasts
of his sexual exploits, was
found dead yesterday. He was
63.
He was discovered by res
cuers called to his home in Bel-
Air shortly after noon, and a
Fire Department spokesman
said Chamberlain might have
suffered a heart attack.
Chamberlain was hospitalized
with an irregular heart beat in
1992.
Known as “Wilt the Stilt”
and “The Big Dipper,”
Chamberlain towered over the
National Basketball
Association from 1959 through
1973, when he played for the
Philadelphia (later San
Francisco) Warriors, the
Philadelphia 76ers and the Los
Angeles Lakers.
He scored 31,419 points during
his career, a record until Kareem
Abdul-Jabbar broke it in 1984.
Chamberlain, who never fouled
out in his 1,205 regular-season
and playoff games, still holds the
record for career rebounds with
23,924.
“Wilt was one of the greatest
ever, and we will never see
another one like him,” Abdul-
Jabbar said.
Chamberlain, who began his
professional career with the
Harlem Globetrotters in 1958,
was one of only two men to win
the MVP and rookie of the year
awards in the same season
(1959).
He was also MVP from 1966
through 1968. He led the NBA
in scoring seven straight sea
sons, 1960-66, and led the
league in rebounding 11 of his
14 seasons.
One of his most famous
records is the 100 points he
scored in a single game in the
Philadelphia Warriors’ 169-147
defeat of the New York Knicks on
Mafch 2, 1962, in Hershey, Pa.
The record has not even been
threatened.
In the 1961-62 season with
Philadelphia, he averaged a
record 50.4 points a game, and
averaged 30.1 for his career.
He also was one of the most
versatile big men ever, leading
the league in assists with 702 in
1967-68.
Chamberlain led his team into
the playoffs 13 times, winning
two world championships. The
first came in 1966-67 with the
76ers, the second in 1971-72 with
the Lakers.
His teams lost in the
four other times and were bj
en in the conference imal]
times.
Bill Russell and the Bt
Celtics almost alwaysseens
be the nemesis of Chambe:
led teams, beating them
in the championship serie;
five times in the confe
finals.
Three times, a senes

women.
“The women who 1 i
been the most attracted tc
most iriji love with, I’ve pc

Chamberlain said in a
interview with the Assoc:
Press. “There are about
women I can think of let
have married. I cared for lb

commitment.”

Chamberlain was on theci
country team in high sclic®
Philadelphia and was an

putter at the Universib'

He had remained active;

asked him to return as a bad
He also was considered an
standing volleyball player, 0
the Honolulu marathon rece:
and competed in a 50-mile raC
Canada.
In January
Chamberlain made his firsto
cial visit to his alma mater si'
his abbreviated college can
ended in 1958.
In 1957, he led the Jayha"'
to the NCAA tournament fini
where Kansas lost to unbea:
North Carolina in triple oV'
time.
After his jersey was raised
the rafters of Allen Fieldhoif 1
Chamberlain told the cro" ;
“Forty years ago I lost a hei;
breaking battle, losing to
Carolina by one point in
overtime. It was a devastate
thing for me because 1 fe
let the university down, I let^
down.”
The crowd interrupted, yell
“No, no,” before resuming am
er standing ovation. His h
hand brushed his cheek as
paused again, drowned out
more applause.
