Wilt "The Stilt" Chamberlain re-wrote the record books on individual accomplishments, but NBA titles were harder to come by. That is why Wilt's championship with the 1972 Lakers was so satisfying, as this May 15, 1972 SPORTS ILLUSTRATED cover proclaims... Los Angeles Champions At Last! Wilt is shown in his Lakers #13 bright gold home uniform "finger-rolling" a shot over the New York Knicks Jerry Lucas.
The signature is strong in vintage black ballpoint. What better way to celebrate the Lakers first NBA championship in Los Angeles than this classic signed SI image of Wilt? The photo has Beckett Encapsulation and is from the Tim Gallagher Collection.
NOTE: The shine of the image shown here is due to the scan after Beckett encapsulation. Rest assured knowing the colors of this SI cover are bold and true. We have included an image of the signed photo prior to encapsulation.
