Wilt Chamberlain’s 1972 NBA Finals jersey, worn in Game 2 and the clinching Game 5, exceeded expectations at auction at Sotheby’s, selling for $4.9 million on Wednesday night, a record for any item of Chamberlain memorabilia.
Chamberlain was named Finals MVP, his first and only Finals MVP Award, which wasn’t given out until 1969, a decade after Chamberlain started his NBA career.
