Elgin Baylor and Wilt Chamberlain were two titans of the early NBA, high-volume scorers who helped bring the NBA into its modern incarnation. This scorecard is from a game on December 2nd, 1961, a 129-119 Laker victory. Chamberlain paced the two teams with a 37 point performance, outscoring the Lakers Hall of Famers Jerry West and Baylor. Warrior Hall of Famers Paul Arizin and Tom Gola chipped in 27 and 21 points, respectively, in a losing effort.
A plethora of ballers signed this scorecard, including Chamberlain and Baylor. Other signatures include Fred Schaus, Ed Conlin, Joe Ruklick, Tom Hawkins, and Tom Meschery. The signatures were written in pencil and have aged beautifully. The scorecard in this program has been filled out and this item comes with a LOA from PSA/DNA.
