Chamberlain/Alcindor High School Films

[Colbert17!]

To get away from our troubles a little. Found these two pieces on Youtube of Chamberlain and Alcindor when they were in high school. A couple things: look how narrow the 3 second lane was for Wilt. The rule was changed and the lane widened because of him. Also an interesting little tidbit on why Alcindor wore #33. Nothing to do with basketball.
Kind of cool to see this.

Didn't know that Wilt was an A student and held the PA shot put record in high school.

Didn't know that Wilt was an A student and held the PA shot put record in high school.

He was his college conference high jump champ several years. Also ran sub 11 second 100 yard dash and sub 50 second 400 yd.
