Goliath

Wilt Chamberlain emerges from a working-class home in West Philadelphia with a combination of size and athleticism that college basketball and the NBA had never seen before. His undeniable achievements on the court challenge the racism embedded within his own league and teammates. Yet from his triple overtime loss in the 1957 NCAA national championship game to his last second disappointment in 1962 to the Boston Celtics, one accomplishment eludes him...to be a champion.

Wilt Chamberlain became the first basketball star to force his way to the Lakers, the first to build a mansion in the Hollywood hills, the first to guest star on TV shows and movies. But when he was humbled by age, he rediscovered his purpose and helped the Lakers have the greatest season in NBA history. Yet it was his boast that he slept with 20,000 women that would forever cast a shadow on his great professional and personal legacy.
