Wilt played collegiate ball at Kansas but left to become a pro. The NBA wold not hire until age of graduation, so. he went to the Globetrotters. who paid more anyway. Once he was age eligible, the NBA had territorial drafting so he originally went to the then Philadelphia Warriors (he was a graduate of the famous Overbrook High in Philly).
Just around the way from St. Joe’s, and my place of birth, Lankenau Hospital.
He actually spent time playing guard for the Globetrotters!
And he had the shot to go with it!
