Wilt Chamberlain
Hall of Fame coach Red Auerbach met Chamberlain when the center was still in high school, and had him play the University of Kansas’ B.H. Born, the MVP of the 1953 NCAA Finals. Chamberlain won 25-10, and Born was so dejected that he gave up on basketball. “If there were high school kids that good, I figured I wasn’t going to make it to the pros,” Born said.
