Wilt Chamberlain (D. 1999) - dominated the NBA, holding numerous records. The only player to score 100 points in a single game, he also grabbed a record 55 rebounds. A four-time MVP, he won two NBA championships (1967, 1972) and was a Finals MVP. Chamberlain was a seven-time scoring champion and eleven-time rebounding champion. He averaged an astounding 30.1 points and 22.9 rebounds per game for his career and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1979. He remarkably never fouled out of an NBA game.
Guy Rodgers (d. 2001) was a Hall of Fame point guard inducted in 2014, was a dominant playmaker in the NBA during the 1960s. In his 12 seasons, he led the league in assists twice (1963, 1967) and finished second six times. A four-time NBA All-Star, Rodgers was known for his exceptional ball-handling, passing skills, and speed. He set a then-NBA record with 28 assists in a single game and recorded 20 assists in Wilt Chamberlain's historic 100-point game. Before his NBA career, he was a consensus First-Team All-American at Temple University, leading them to two Final Four appearances. His #5 jersey is retired by Temple.
Both of these Hall of Famers notched double-doubles (Chamberlain 43 pts., 22 rebs.,; Rodgers 11 pts., 13 assts.) in Philadelphia's 136-125 win over Syracuse. Also on the double-header at Philly's Convention Hall were Bill Russell's Boston Celtics vs. the Chicago Packers. Wilt and Rodgers signed the program in bold ballpoint pen adjacent to the picture of Celtic Hall of Famer Tommy Heinsohn. Light to moderate wear overall except for two corner tabs that would need to be professionally removed.
Possibly one of a kind!
