Unbelievable, the legend Wilt Chamberlain's 1972 NBA championship jersey to make 4M

Even though the Lakers legend Wilt Chamberlain doesn't get credit enough from modern NBA fans and media, he is still one of the NBA greatest of all time, and his worn 1972 NBA championship jersey is proof of it.

The uniform the late Chamberlain wore during that NBA Finals is nicknamed the "championship-clinching" jersey, it is credited as the "most valuable item of Wilt Chamberlain sports memorabilia ever to appear on the market."

The auction house is offering the jersey in a single-lot, online auction titled “Dominance: Wilt Chamberlain & The First Los Angeles Lakers Championship” this month where it could fetch $4 million.

This comes to show how great Chamberlain is and his legacy continues to live on. Wilt, a 13-time All-Star and four-time MVP is widely regarded as one of the greatest basketball players of all time. The seven-foot-tall player frequently inundated record books in his prime and still holds the record for most points scored in an NBA game (100 points on March 2, 1962). He was nursing a broken hand from a prior game during Game 5 of the finals on May 7 yet still took to the court, where he made 24 points and snagged 29 rebounds. The athlete later won the Finals MVP Award for his performance, closing out an exhilarating season.

Wilt Chamberlain's 1972 jersey is famous

The jersey headed to Sotheby’s is the first from Chamberlain’s two championships to ever appear at auction. He famously sported it—in signature yellow, purple, and white Lakers colors—on multiple covers of Sports Illustrated. These include the October 1972 issue, which bore the headline “It All Depends on Wilt”; and the May 1972 issue with a headline that reads “Los Angeles Champions at Last!” The jersey hasn’t been on public display in over 50 years since the finals.
