From The Big Dipper's second season at Overbrook High School, when Wilt Chamberlain played against mortal sized men, he averaged 34 points a game and scored a high school-record 71 points in this game vs. Northeast High School at the Palestra in Philadelphia. This is a magnificent and super-rare photo of possibly the best player in the history of basketball. The Overbrook High School Type I photo is stamped "Hamilton Mar 2 - 1954" on the back (exactly eight years prior to his legendary 100-point game in the NBA), measures 8x10" and is is in EX-MT condition.
