    When it comes to the NBA’s all-time greatest players, few can match the raw statistical dominance of Wilt Chamberlain.

    From the iconic 100-point game, to the 50 points per game season, to 12 straight seasons averaging over 20 rebounds, Chamberlain’s numbers are simply unbelievable.

    But despite statistical dominance, Wilt the Stilt struggled for years to carry his teams over the final hurdle, as year after year, championships eluded him.

    While Bill Russell was winning 11 rings in 13 years, Chamberlain was often left watching and waiting .

    Finally, in 1967, 9 years into his NBA career, Wilt finally earned his ring, and delivered the first ever NBA championship to the city of Philadelphia .

    The story of how Chamberlain and the Sixers got there, however, is one few people know.

    In today’s episode, we take the NBA time machine back nearly 60 years, and learn how the 1967 Philadelphia 76ers managed to defeat the nearly-undefeatable dynasty of the Boston Celtics.

    This is once upon a dribble!
