Philadelphia 76ers WILT CHAMBERLAIN jersey 2XL 1967 CHAMPS Hardwood Classics

Description: Philadelphia 76ers WILT CHAMBERLAIN jersey XXL 1967 CHAMPS Hardwood Classics. USED, some fading in lettering/numbering, but the solidly stitched fabric is in very good shape. A great slice of Philly sports history! In the 1967 NBA Finals, the Sixers were pitted against Chamberlain's old team, the San Francisco Warriors of Nate Thurmond, his one-time backup and fellow future Hall-of-Fame center, and star forward Rick Barry. The Sixers won the first two games, with Chamberlain and Greer taking credit for defensive dominance and clutch shooting, respectively, but San Francisco won two of the next three games, so Philadelphia was up 3–2 prior to Game 6. In Game 6, the Warriors were trailing 123–122 with 15 seconds left. For the last play, Thurmond and Barry were assigned to do a pick and roll against Chamberlain and whoever would guard Barry; however, the Sixers foiled it because when Barry ran past Thurmond's pick and drove to the basket, he was picked up by Walker, making it impossible to shoot, while Thurmond was covered by Chamberlain, which made it impossible to pass. Barry botched his shot attempt and the Sixers won the championship. Chamberlain, who contributed with 17.7 points and 28.7 rebounds per game against Thurmond, never failing to snare at least 23 rebounds in the six games, said: "It is wonderful to be a part of the greatest team in basketball ... being a champion is like having a big round glow inside of you."
