On November 4, 1959 the Philadelphia Warriors would beat the Syracuse Nationals 124-113 to go 3-0 for the season in Philadelphia. In Wilt Chamberlain’s 3rd NBA career game, he put up 41 points with 40 rebounds. This took him to 120 points and 102 rebounds in his first 3 NBA games. How crazy is that?
Paul Arizin, Woody Sauldsberry, Tom Gola, Andy Johnson, and Guy Rodgers all hit double figures in points, while the Nats’ Johnny Kerr had 20 points in a losing effort.
Wilt’s debut was on October 24, 1959 vs the NY Knicks in New York and his second game was at home vs. the Detroit Pistons.
Offered is this gorgeous game program from his 3rd Career NBA game that has all pages intact, no rips, tears, scored, tight binding. There are two staple marks at the top righthand corner of the cover and two-hole punches from being in a binder (this may have come from a sportswriter’s collection). Two articles/stats taped inside program.
