76ers honor Wilt Chamberlain with a sculpture

Wilt Chamberlain became the latest 76ers Hall of Famer to be honored with a sculpture at the team's practice facility in Camden.

The Sixers unveiled the sculpture of Chamberlain on Saturday, and it is situated with those of Hal Greer and Billy Cunningham.

The 7-foot-1 Chamberlain, a product of Philadelphia's Overbrook High, was always a larger-than-life figure. Whether it was his 100-point game while with the Philadelphia Warriors in 1962 or his other legendary feats - such as averaging more than 50 points, 25 rebounds, and 48 minutes per game in that 1961-62 season or grabbing an NBA career-record 23,924 rebounds - Chamberlain's accomplishments seemed so much bigger than everyone else's.
