Wilt Chamberlain rookie home jersey sold at auction for $1.79 million
Posted : 18 June 2023
Wilt Chamberlain broke Bob Pettit's previous regular-season points record in his debut NBA season with a total of 2,707 points, but he also did it 56 games into his professional career. One of just two players (Wes Unseld being the other) to earn both NBA MVP and ROY awards in the same season was Chamberlain, who concluded 1959–60 as the league's MVP and Rookie of the Year.
In terms of dominance, it was possibly the best inaugural season in American sports history.
A Chamberlain outfit from that year's campaign set a new record late on Saturday night for the most expensive game-used vintage (pre-1980) NBA item ever auctioned.
