The fledgling NBA's executive offices likely were not thrilled by SPORTS ILLUSTRATED'S headline and Wilt's Chamberlain's message in 1965! The league was still getting its footing and Wilt was still two years away from his first NBA title.
However, the impressive cover portrait of Wilt in his white 76ers home jersey, a "Nobody Loves Goliath" pose, and bold signature, a beautiful complete Wilt Chamberlain in blue Sharpie, makes this a striking image to behold. Wow!
The photo has Beckett Encapsulation and is from the Jerry Ankenbauer Collection.
