Grassroots Effort Under Way to Put Chamberlain on Commemorative Stamp
PHILADELPHIA — Wilt Chamberlain’s next enduring stamp on basketball is likely to come on the upper right-hand corner of an envelope.
Wilt the Stilt could become Wilt the Stamp if a grassroots effort to get the Hall of Famer and the only NBA player to score 100 points in a game on a commemorative U.S postage stamp is approved by postal officials.
Chamberlain’s image on a stamp might be the only way the 7-foot-1 basketball icon could ever be cut down to size.
“I’d be very proud if that happens and I’m sure he would be, too, if he was alive,” said Selina Gross, Chamberlain’s sister. “I think he’d be very honored. He probably wouldn’t believe this could happen to him.”
