YouTube Gold: Wilt Chamberlain At 17

Related Topics: Wilt Chamberlain, Maurice Stokes

It’s possible we used this video before but as you may have noticed, we find Wilt Chamberlain, even at this remove, to be an incredibly compelling talent and personality.

This is some great footage of Chamberlain at 17, when he was up in the Catskills making a bit of extra money working as a bellhop at Kutscher’s (he would later return to the resort to take part in the annual charity game for Maurice Stokes).

Some of it’s just footage of him walking around or carrying bags but there is some footage of him playing in Kutscher’s gym.
