During his two seasons, Chamberlain averaged an astounding 29.9 points and 18.3 rebounds per game, leading the Jayhawks to the 1957 Big Seven Championship. His performance in the 1957 NCAA Championship game, where he scored 23 points and secured 14 rebounds, remains etched in basketball lore, despite Kansas’s narrow loss to the UNC Tar Heels in a triple-overtime thriller.
