c.1970's Lew Alcindor/Wilt Chamberlain PSA Type 1 Encapsulated Malcom W. Emmons Photo – Measures Approx. 8" x 10"
This imposing PSA Type 1 photo portrays two of basketball's greatest players waging battle as the 7'2" Lew Alcindor tries to score a basket against the Lakers legendary 7'1" Wilt Chamberlain. Along with the great Bill Russell, these two basketball icons stand at the top of the charts with regard to their immortal stature as the NBA's finest all-time centers. Wilt "The Stilt" scored over 30,000 points to the tune of a 30.07 "points per game" average that only stands a shade behind Michael Jordan's 30.12 all-time mark. Amazingly, Chamberlain averaged over 20 rebound and 30 points over his entire 15-year career, and is the only player to score 100 points in a game, a feat he accomplished in a game against the N.Y. Knicks on March 2, 1962.

With regard to Alcindor (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar), his amazing career would commence with the Milwaukee Bucks for the 1969/'70 campaign and he didn't waste any time in establishing himself as the "next" Wilt Chamberlain, averaging 28.8 points and 14,5 rebounds per game in his rookie season. The rest is sheer history with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar tallying a record 38,387 points (24.6 PPG), while recording 17,440 rebounds (11.2 RPG) and 3,189 blocked shots (2.6 BPG) with both figures ranking #3 on the all-time NBA list. Measuring 8" x 10", the extremely well-centered image itself reveals near-perfect contrast and clarity, and the few negligible surface scratches do not impede the mesmerizing illustration. The final "thumbs up" is the critical MALCOLM W. EMMOMS credit stamp on the verso solidifying its type 1 status, with this sensational offering revealing two of the NBA's greatest players to ever grace a hard-wood court!
