Wilt Chamberlain was simply an unstoppable force. He could score and rebound at will, which led to later NBA rule changes because Chamberlain's opponents didn't have a chance against him. Chamberlain's imposing presence was clear to anyone who watched him play, but his numbers make his dominance even clearer. One hundred points in a game, 55 rebounds in a game, a 50.4 points per game average in 1961-62; the list goes on and on. Unsurprisingly, Chamberlain played in 13 NBA All-Star Games, and he wore this West All-Stars white durene jersey during the 1971 NBA All-Star Game in San Diego. On the left front tail is the "Wilson" manufacturer's tag with the size "46", under which "13" and "+ 4"" have been added in black ink to denote the player number and the four inches of extra length, respectively. The team name "West" has been sewn across the front of the jersey in blue on red tackle twill and the player name "Chamberlain" has been sewn across the back in red tackle twill. The player number "13" appears on the front and back of the jersey in red on blue tackle twill. The jersey shows game use and appears to have no alterations of any kind. A true blazer!
