Iconic basketball player Wilt Chamberlain will soon be immortalized on two
larger-than-usual stamps. The stamps, just over 2 inches tall each, are about a
third taller than a typical stamp.
The stamps will be dedicated Dec. 5 during the halftime of a Philadelphia
76ers home game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Chamberlain played with the
76ers from 1965-1968.
The 7-foot-1-inch center was a trailblazer, setting multiple records. He
scored a record-setting 100 points in a single game, won two NBA championships,
and was named an NBA all-star 13 times. Chamberlain was inducted into the
Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1979.
