Black Basketball History Month!... Hoopster Of The Week!...Wilt Chamberlain!

  


The 'Hoopster Of The Week'

for this week 

goes to: 

the Big Black Man,  7-1, 275, who was also 

known as the NBA Center called the 

'Big Dipper,' and played for 14 seasons, 

but started his career playing with the 

Harlem Globetrotters, and he still holds 

72 NBA records, including being the 

only player to score 100 points in a 

game, and the most blocked shots, while 

being a 4x season MVP, Rookie of the 

Year, 7x scoring champ, 13x All-Star 

Gamer, and being MVP in one of them, 

an 11x rebounding champ, the only 

center to lead the league in total assists, 

plus being the only player to average 

30 points and 20 rebounds per game in 

a season, and played all game long, 

plus he never fouled out, and 

players 'got out the way'

whenever he dunked,

and so much more...

Black Basketball History Month was

founded by Ralph C. Winge, D.D.S.

in 2025 to acknowledge, praise,

and hold high, with cheer, the untold 

numbers of International Black Men 

and Women, both past and present, 

that made us go, "Wow!...Whoa!...

...and...OMGosh!" in their nonstop, 

valiant, and always surprising, 

individual and team 

efforts to put the ball through the 

hoop the most, to win games and 

championships!
