  • Fourth Quarter Radio Coverage of Wilt Chamberlin's 100-Point Game (Philadelphia Warriors Vs
    Fourth quarter radio coverage of Wilt Chamberlin's 100-point game (Philadelphia Warriors vs. New York Knicks)--Bill Campbell, announcer (March 2, 1962) Added to the National Registry: 2015 Essay by Robert Cherry (guest post)* Wilt Chamberlin Bill Campbell “If you know anybody not listening, call them up. A little history you’re sitting in on tonight,” said Bill Campbell, broadcasting a professional basketball game in 1962. Campbell, whose career spanned 70 years, never spoke truer words, for he was describing the game in which Wilt Chamberlain scored 100 points. It remains one of the greatest individual achievements in any sport--not just in basketball. Wilt Chamberlain (1936–1999) was a larger than life athlete whose magnetic personality and dominating physical presence transcended the sport that made him rich and famous. Wilt was 7’ 1 and 1/16th” with broad, muscular shoulders and a narrow waist, a frame that created the optical illusion that he was even taller. He was also graceful and athletic: many people consider him the strongest athlete who ever lived. Even his fellow professionals marveled at his strength: he moved 6’8,” 220-pound men like cups of coffee and his endurance was legendary. Wilt was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, into a close-knit, large (he had eight siblings), hard- working, lower middle-class family. Eight to ten inches taller than other kids by the fourth grade and gawked at from an early age, Wilt was never like anyone else. From childhood he was eager to make his mark and to supplement his family’s modest income.
