| | Wilt Chamberlain |
 | | Wilton Norman Chamberlain (August 21, 1936 – October 12, 1999) is regarded as one of the greatest basketball players of all time, though he played on only two NBA championship teams. |
 | | Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Chamberlain drew national attention playing at Overbrook High School in the city, played two years for the University of Kansas, where he earned All-American honors twice (losing a national championship in triple overtime), and went professional in 1958. |
 | | Chamberlain always wore a rubber band around his wrist, due to a superstition, and was fond of saying that "Nobody roots for Goliath." He died unexpectedly of a heart attack in his sleep in his Los Angeles, California home. |
