The two-week pursuit ended with a telegram to the Spectrum addressed to Harold Katz, the 76ers owner who had flown across the country a week earlier to chase an idea that 40 years later seems like a fantasy.
“Thanks for the beautiful offer to come out and play, but I decided that this is not the time,” the message said.
In February of 1982, the Sixers — similar to the current team — were in the market for a backup center, someone to log limited minutes and fill the void left by Darryl Dawkins’ fractured fibula. But Katz did not have a buy-out market or G League to use the way Daryl Morey has this season in his search for a suitable backup for Joel Embiid after trading Andre Drummond to Brooklyn.
So Katz crafted the lofty proposal of luring 45-year-old Wilt Chamberlain out of retirement after being out of the league for nine seasons.

If Katz had his wish, it would have been a dream pairing of the player who led the Sixers to the 1967 title with the group of players — Julius Erving, Maurice Cheeks, Bobby Jones, and Andrew Toney — who would win the championship in 1983.
Chamberlain lived in a Bel Air mountain-top mansion in Los Angeles and stayed in shape by playing volleyball, racquetball and pickup basketball. It had been 20 years since his 100-point game and only one player — 46-year-old coach Nat Hickey, who played two games in 1948 for the Providence Steamrollers — played in the league at an older age.
But the 7-foot-1 Chamberlain was as long on confidence as he was on height.
“There’s no doubt in my mind that if I wanted to come back, I could come back,” he told The Inquirer 10 days before sending that telegram to Katz. “I led the league in blocked shots and rebounding when I quit, so I wasn’t exactly a dog then. I quit on top. I led the league in three of the top five offensive categories that year and there is no doubt I would lead the league in rebounding and blocked shots right now. If that sounds egotistical, well, that’s the way it is.”
But not everyone was as confident in Chamberlain as he was. Erving, the team’s captain and reigning league MVP, said in 1982 that the move could have been “counterproductive” and wondered if a legend like Chamberlain could assimilate into the Sixers.
Coach Billy Cunningham, who played three seasons with Chamberlain and won the ‘67 title with him, wasn’t buying it, either.
“Harold was more serious than I was,” Cunningham said last week by phone. “It was tough because of my relationship with Wilt as friends. I just didn’t see at that point that he was going to be able to take us to the promised land. I know he was upset with me initially, but it was the best for both parties.”
Chamberlain said he scrimmaged with UCLA and played in a Los Angeles summer league that featured NBA stars. His play there, Chamberlain thought, was proof that he could still play.
“I know who controlled the boards in those games,” he said. “They all wanted to try and dunk on Wilt Chamberlain. I took three or four of those young boys from UCLA and played some of the pros. You ask them if I’m an old man.”
Michael Richman, one of Chamberlain’s longtime attorneys, said Chamberlain loved playing dominoes and cards, anything that could scratch his competitive itch during his retirement.
“I think that’s probably why he wanted to get back into professional basketball,” Richman said last week. “He always stayed in great shape. One day, we were going to a doctor’s office and I’ll never forget this. I was following him up the steps and I hit his leg for some reason, and it was like hitting a telephone pole. It was solid as can be.”
Cunningham agreed that his old friend loved a challenge — and was perhaps drawn to the money being made by the stars of the 1980s — but the NBA was a different animal than the pickup games he found in L.A.
“Being away from something for nine years, not in that basketball shape, it would be pretty tough,” Cunningham said. “It appears that Ben Simmons is 25 and he’s having a tough time coming back right now.”
Cunningham told Katz that bringing in Chamberlain would create a media circus and cause a distraction in the final months of a season that would end with the Sixers falling to the Lakers in the NBA Finals.
“If Wilt didn’t retire and kept playing, I think physically he might have been able to play at 45 if he kept the same regimen,” Cunningham said.
“If there wasn’t that nine-year space and he kept playing, it might have been quite a different story. Because he really didn’t have many injuries. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar went into his 40s [42]. But he kept playing. That was the biggest downside to Wilt coming back.”
Chamberlain wrote in his 1992 autobiography, A View From Above, that at least six teams tried to lure him out of retirement. He said none of the offers — from the likes of the Suns, Bulls, Knicks, and Nets — was as strong as the one made by Katz.
The owner said money would not be an issue and he would help him in land endorsements. Katz, who bought the team in 1981, even considered offering Chamberlain a contract to play just home games. Pursuing Chamberlain, Katz said, was not for “hype and nonsense.”
“It created a hubbub,” Pat Williams, the team’s general manager, said last week. “Harold enjoyed all that kind of stuff. Harold, in his own way, was a showman, and that was a big-time show.”
Chamberlain ultimately declined Katz’s proposal, squashing any dreams of The Big Dipper playing alongside Dr.
J. The Sixers found their new center seven months later by trading for Moses Malone, who proved to be the missing piece of the team’s title aspirations. Dawkins was traded to the Nets after the 1981-82 season and played just two more full seasons as injuries derailed his career.
“Would I like to be in Detroit and Cleveland again? Would I like to go back to eating at 12 midnight, watching TV in the room, catching all those early flights? Hell, no,” Chamberlain said. “I don’t know how I could deal with all the mental pressures again. Physically, I know I could still do it.”
The Sixers’ pursuit of Chamberlain was not yet finished. Years later, the team floated the idea of signing Chamberlain before the 1989-90 season so he could have played in five decades. This move, former GM John Nash said last week, was probably more of a publicity stunt than the offer Katz had made.
There were no recruiting visits to Los Angeles or a telegram to the Spectrum this time; instead, a quick reply from Chamberlain’s attorney that the former Overbrook High star wasn’t interested.
Even Chamberlain, who started his NBA career in 1959, wasn’t bullish enough to think he could play in the NBA at 53.
“My mother called,” Chamberlain told the Daily News after sending his telegram to Katz in 1981. “And she told me not to. She said, ‘Son, you’ve done what you had to do in that part of your life. It was enough. It’s time to live the rest of your life and enjoy it.’”
Wilt Chamberlain (born Wilton Norman Chamberlain) was an American basketball star who played for several NBA teams. Chamberlain was born on August 21, 1936 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He studied at Overbrook High School where he played on his school’s team for three years, scoring more than 2200 points. During high school, he measured 6 feet, 11 inches tall, and after finishing school he grew a further 2 inches to reach an astonishing height of 7 feet, 1 inch. He was a popular member of his team and was given a number of nicknames by teammates, media reporters and fans such as “Wilt the Stilt” and “The Big Dipper”.
After a successful high school career, Chamberlain was sought out by many of the top universities on a basketball scholarship. He finally chose to join the University of Kansas where he began to play for their team, the Jayhawks in 1956. He led his team to the NCAA finals the following year, but they lost the game to North Carolina. Nevertheless, Chamberlain had made his mark and was given the title of “Most Outstanding Player” of the tournament. The very next season, he made it to the all-America and all-conference teams. He left college without graduating in 1958 but had to wait for one season before going pro because of NBA prohibitions regarding recruitment of seniors who hadn’t finished college. In the meantime, he decided to play for the Harlem Globetrotters for a sum of $50,000.
He turned pro in 1959, starting his professional career with the Philadelphia Warriors. In his first game, the Warriors played the Knicks, and Chamberlain scored 43 points. For that season, he was named NBA Rookie of the Year and NBA Most Valuable Player.
In 1962, he made history by becoming the first NBA player to score 100 points in a game, a record which stands to date. He also became the first NBA player to score more than 4000 points in a season. His average score was 50.4 points per game. During this time, he was selected for the All-NBA first team for three consecutive years. Chamberlain had a long standing on-court rivalry with a Boston Celtics player Bill Russell. Despite their professional rivalry, the two became and remained great friends off the court.
In 1965, Chamberlain left the Warriors to join the Philadelphia 76ers, where he helped his team to win the NBA championships against the Warriors and the Eastern Division Finals against the Boston Celtics. In 1968, Chamberlain moved to the Los Angeles Lakers and helped them win the 1972 NBA championship against the New York Knicks. He was named the NBA Finals Most Valuable Player. He retired in 1973 at the age of 38. He had extremely impressive career statistics, with 1045 games and a career average of 30.
1 points per game. This record stood was 25 years, when it was broken by Michael Jordan in 1998. After his retirement, Chamberlain coached successfully for a while and pursued other interests such as acting, making an appearance in the 1984 action film “Conan the Destroyer” starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. He published his autobiography in 1973, titled “Wilt: Just Like Any Other 7-Foot Black Millionaire Who Lives Next Door” as well as the book “A View from Above” in 1991.
To this day, Wilt Chamberlain remains one of the all time greats of basketball. He was named one of the 50 best all time NBA players in 1996. He died in October 1999 at the age of 63. His unparalleled records ensure his position as one of the most respected players of all time. His death was lamented by the basketball community of fans and critics such as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bill Russell and Michael Jordan.
Wilt Chamberlain was a record nut.
In total, he still owns 72 historical achievements.
He scored 100 points or 55 rebounds in one game.
Over 50 points 118 more times - he still has 15 top 20 scoring matches.
Averaged over 30 points and 20 rebounds in his career.
Gave out a season in which he averaged 48.5 minutes.
Never sent off for too many fouls.
And, of course, his most discussed success is 20,000 women. (Although this is not quite a record: Fidel Castro seems to have slept with 35,000 women).
Chamberlain cited him in the book "View from Above" (not related to Nikita Zagday), published in 1991. He was 55 at the time.
It has an entire chapter devoted to the delights of an NBA superstar's sex life and all the wisdom that the center himself has gleaned from that life. It begins with the words “Does sex rule the world? I think that's the way it is." nine0005
The number is used in this context.
“I have always believed that anyone can find true love with more than one person,” Chamberlain writes. – In general, it seems to me that desire is a more natural part for us than love, because it visits us constantly. There are few among us who manage to satisfy all their desires . I am one of those. So don't be surprised if I had to count my sexual encounters, I'd say I've slept with twenty thousand women. Yes, yes, that's right, twenty thousand different women. If you take into account my age, it turns out that I have had 1.2 women every day since I was 15 years old. nine0005
I have a feeling that many of you are now saying, "Come on, Wilt, stop hanging noodles on our ears." I will answer you that those who are well acquainted with me understand that I am not deceiving. I am not boasting, for me there is no feat in all this. Just wanting to say that I love spending time with women, people are very interested in my sex life and most would be blown away if they knew how many women have passed through my bedroom (and hotel rooms across the country).
I'm not giving this number to impress anyone. I do this because it's like basketball: the numbers I put up on the court are unbelievably high and a lot of people brush them off or think they're being scammed. Hell, I've done a lot that's hard to believe. Does this mean I don't need to talk about it? Or that I have to worry about whether they will believe me or not? I think you yourself know the answer.
So the number "20 thousand" has an explanation. nine0005
Chamberlain's friend Rod Roddevig recalled vacationing at Wilt's in Honolulu in the mid-80s.
“That's where it all started. Wilt invited me to his penthouse in Honolulu. We stayed there ten days. And I recorded all the details in my organizer. Every time he went to the bedroom with a new girl, I ticked the box. After 10 days, 23 ticks have accumulated. That is 2.3 girls per day. I showed him, and he took this number 2.3, divided it in half to estimate the minimum values. Then he subtracted 15 years from his age, multiplied it by 1.
2 women a day - and that’s how those “twenty thousand” appeared. nine0005
If you do all these manipulations, then you really get 17520 women. By the most conservative estimates.
Friends are convinced that the editors forced the Chamberlain number to be inserted into the book. To boost sales.
“Wilt called me and read passages from the book,” said photographer Jessica Burstein. He wanted to show people that he was also very smart. He always felt that people underestimated his intelligence. And at the last moment, this phrase about 20 thousand appeared in the book. I tried to dissuade him, saying that it was a mistake. First, this is a big exaggeration. We met in Vienna, he followed me for four days, and nothing happened. Secondly, even if this number were more or less plausible, both critics and readers were more focused on his sex life - and did not notice everything else that was contained there. That is exactly what happened.
I was terribly worried. He was used and I told him that." nine0005
The problem, in fact, was not so much in the phrase, but in the time of the appearance of the book.
Chamberlain traveled the country on promotional tours in the fall of '91. And in one of them, he was caught by the news that Magic Johnson was ending his career because of HIV. After that, the Lakers star was forced to explain how he acquired the disease and share the details of the life of NBA players off the court.
Johnson contracted HIV and was married. Chamberlain had no illnesses and was unmarried. But the excited public did not care: their stories were mixed together, and the center had to make excuses for advertising the unbridled sex life of athletes. nine0005
Chamberlain has been accused of disrespecting women, of promoting promiscuity during the hard times of the AIDS epidemic, and generally of inappropriate boasting.
But the most poignant comment came from tennis star Arthur Ashe.
« African Americans have been trying for decades to get away from the image of primitive beings who live only for sex, to get away from the stereotypes that have been hung on us since the very first days of slavery . And here are two college-educated, wealthy, and world-famous black men who are struggling to confirm all these stereotypes.” nine0005
Chamberlain lost dozens of advertising contracts because of the book scandal. Throughout the 90s and until his death, he tried to make amends for this whole situation, urged to read the book in its entirety, and not to single out only one number from it, said that the “20 thousand” themselves were abstract and should not be taken so literally.
Chamberlain's book itself leads to the following: “Men would think it would be a huge achievement if they could sleep with a thousand different women. But I came to the conclusion that a much greater achievement is to make love to one woman a thousand times ".
Nobody heard him anymore.
Chamberlain went down in history as the guy who scored 100 points in one match and slept with 20,000 women.
Close friends do say that the reported figures are close to the truth, and they cite various cases that demonstrate Chamberlain's uncanny charm.
The Lakers were playing on the road, and Wilt and I were sitting in his room,” said author David Shaw, with whom Chamberlain wrote his first book. - Around 11 pm, a woman calls, wants to come. Wilt says to her: “Listen, well, I already slept with you, why should I see you again? Maybe if you find a girlfriend, I'll see you again." nine0005
A little later, another woman calls and says she wants to come too. “OK, but now I have a meeting. Come at 12 o'clock."
After that, the first woman calls again. She says she found a friend. Wilt explains to her: "Okay, but I have a meeting at 12 now. Come then at 3 o'clock."
A few minutes before 12 Chamberlain kicked me out of the room.
I go down to the lobby, I see a pretty girl pushing Wilt's floor button. I sit downstairs and keep watching. At 3 o'clock the first woman still hasn't come down, then the other two come in, press the button for Wilt's floor. Then I went to my place. nine0005
As far as I remember, the phone rang around 5 am. It was Wilt. He says: "Hey, buddy, all three are still here, I need help."
I tell him: "Wilt, I told you from the very beginning of our work that I will not carry your suitcases and sleep with your women."
“It's incredible,” said businessman Tracey Sandlan, who met Wilt in the 1970s. Let's say we were in a restaurant. He went to the toilet, returned in five minutes and threw a dozen pieces of paper with telephones on the table ... "
“He enjoyed life. Enjoyed the people. Enjoyed the conversation, - explained coach Fluke Fluker. And he enjoyed women. He would freeze in the middle of a conversation when a beautiful woman passed by. He either looked at her or said something about her.
And in these words there was nothing vulgar, no rudeness, nothing disrespectful. He could call a woman and say something nice to her. He said, “I just want you to know that you look great today. And it's important that someone tells you that." He wasn't some shark chasing people. He just said what he thought. And if a woman answered him, then it could go to another level. If not, no problem." nine0005
“We had dinner with Wilt at his favorite restaurant, Carmine's,” recalled journalist Dick Schaap. “And then a girl and a guy come up to us. He tells us that he is filming a new SWAT series, which is very popular, and hands Wilt a phone number. Right in front of the guy. That was wild."
“I think Wilt threw himself at everything that was moving,” said Swedish track and field athlete Annette Tonnander. - He tried to look after me and my friend Lena at the same time. It was such a game for him. He looked to see if people would agree or not. Not rude, nothing like that.
It was such a flirtation - I was looking to see if there would be an answer to it. If not, then he didn't continue. Sometimes he would say, "Why don't we spend the night together?" And we said, “No, we have to go. We need to be at home." He molested me and Lena, and it seems that Linda Huey (one of the most famous Chamberlain girls) was sitting there. nine0005
“At some point I needed to go to the bathroom, Wilt said: “I'll see you, son,” said Tommy Kearns, the son of one of Chamberlain's friends. - We're going to the toilet. On the way back we stop at a bar. He says to me: “Come here, young man,” we sit down, and at that moment everything in the room stops. Everyone wanted to hang around Wilt. Four or five women immediately approached him and sat down next to him. He sat with them, and then says: "Well, I'll go to my table, but you take care of this young man." nine0005
He attracted all sorts of people to him. He had magnetic power. Part of it was explained by its size .
But he was also a friendly guy. There's this "larger than life" cliché, Wilt had that aura. And at the same time, one could feel his attention, his love for people.”
“I spent enough time with it to understand how it works,” testified Dr. Stan Lorber. “Women surrounded him everywhere. We went to Milan in '82, Wilt was 46 then. We went to a disco, sat down at a table. There were about 50-100 girls spinning around, and one by one they reached out to us, asking if he would like to drink with them or dance. It was like bees - they were all circling around the honey. You won't see this anywhere." nine0005
At the same time, even close people describe his relationship with women in completely different ways.
Some speak of incredible tenderness.
“Ordinary people, especially women, enjoyed being with him,” lawyer Cy Goldberg explained. They liked talking to him. They had extremely positive memories, and, meeting with him many years later, they considered him their friend.
In 40 years, he only brought a girl to meet me three or four times. If we were going somewhere, and this was often, then either we were there with him, or we were with him and my wife. He didn't need to have dinner with the girls. nine0005
He was not, as many might think, a "sexual predator" by any means. He liked young girls. He liked being with them. He liked talking to them. He liked to fool around with them. He liked to flirt with them. But it wasn't all about "slam bam thank you madam". Wilt's girls have always been happy with . And I would know if it wasn't."
Others, on the contrary, claimed that Wilt did not stand on ceremony with his passions.
“The women I brought in, my wives, my girlfriends, he always treated with absolute respect and gallantry,” said David Shaw. “And at the same time, he treated the women he himself brought in like shit. I remember during a date he went to another table, flirted with another girl there and came back with her phone.
But that's how he was. And all these women knew about it. So I didn't care too much for them, as I could for someone else. They pursued their low goals, and if that was the price, then they agreed to pay it. nine0005
Chamberlain himself described the recipe for success simply.
“Regardless of who the lady was, I convinced her that we both should not give up this experience… If we really want each other, then this is something real and we must act immediately, because there is not much real in life … While traveling I have met tens of thousands of attractive ladies, my twenty thousand are just a drop in the ocean… I’m just a little more fortunate because women see me as different, they are intrigued by my size, they don’t know if they can handle them ".
Chamberlain's desire to show off the number of women had another reason. He also talks about it in the book.
“Nothing compares to one birthday party I was invited to in San Francisco.
At that party, I was the only man in the company of fifteen ladies ... Yes, until dawn I was with each of them, except for one. I didn’t have enough strength only for the birthday girl, but I performed “Happy Birthday to You” for her. This will explain to you why I never married or even got engaged. nine0029 This should also put an end to the rumors that reach me from time to time, rumors that anyone who lives in Los Angeles or who is single is gay. I am not blue .”
Yes, Bill Simmons didn't come up with the idea that Chamberlain was gay, just because he played for the Lakers. The center was not married, constantly explained why it happened, boasted of an implausible number of sexual contacts, was distinguished by timidity (he did not wash in the shower with the team) and an extremely touchy, almost gentle character, dressed extravagantly and aroused suspicion. Even some of his friends confirm that they never saw women at his house (he told them that he did not leave anyone for the night).
Plus, there were no side effects: Chamberlain did not leave offspring, was very much in favor of adoption and always insisted that “there will be no little Wilts,” and the only person who calls himself his son showed up only in 2015. nine0005
In addition to purely Boston interests, there is another point of view. People in the NBA who were not his close friends, but who watched him daily, note that he did not communicate with the opposite sex very convincingly.
“Twenty thousand is a monstrous hyperbole,” said journalist Doug Krigorian. “I have had dinner with Wilt more than once. I've never seen anyone be so clumsy with women . This story needs to end. Believe me. I saw everything with my own eyes. Yes, he probably had some women. But he didn’t even come close to being a heartthrob. No no no. nine0005
Many married Lakers players have had more women than Wilt. I won't tell you more. But there was one person (I won't name him) who makes Wilt a pathetic amateur.
"
“I played with Wilt and never saw anything like it,” said Lou Hudson. “He embellished everything very much. That's one and a half or two women a day, every day. But you spend time moving, playing games, communicating with your family. I really know people who existed in such a rhythm for a month, a year, but it is impossible to live like this for 12 years. No one can. If they do that, then they're in trouble. It's not even funny. It's just a manic obsession with sex. If someone lives like this, he needs to see a doctor. We allowed ourselves a lot, but not to that extent.” nine0005
Philadelphia owner Eddie Gottlieb's secretary said she wasn't at all surprised that Chamberlain didn't even try to flirt with her: she seemed so clumsy and shy.
At the same time, many women admitted that they were with Chamberlain. And Quentin Tarantino claimed that Chamberlain was with his mother.
The unhealthy hype surrounding the book, which linked it forever with the tragedy of Magic Johnson, forced Chamberlain to justify himself.
And in the end, he not only apologized, but also admitted that the number of his women should be adjusted. nine0005
“I'm sorry people saw it that way. It's like saying you've seen Casablanca a thousand times. This means that you saw her very often. I used 20 thousand figuratively. If I had to brag, then I would name some names.
This number was featured in the chapter titled "Sex Rules the World" where I refer to my relationships with women as "contacts" because that's exactly what happened. Here we are not talking about exploits, not about conquests, as some would say. In general, men do not conquer women, everything happens the other way around. nine0005
I was amazed when I heard about Magic and didn't want to believe it because we know each other well. I don't understand why everyone suddenly became preoccupied with AIDS as if they didn't know anything about it before. AIDS has been killing people for almost a decade. And when everyone thought that “undesirable elements” — drug addicts, gays, minorities — were suffering from the disease, the epidemic was considered quite normal.
This is what worries me a lot. I wonder why one of our heroes had to get sick so that everyone could see how real this danger is. nine0005
I'm sorry I offended my female friends. I have always treated women with absolute respect. He grew up in a family with six sisters. I would never speak badly of women. Everything that happened to me and other women was by mutual consent.
Everyone knew that 20,000 was a fictitious number, a number that I used to get attention. But I understand what happened. Everyone thought: "This is Wilt, this could really be" .
