Wilt Chamberlain had a tendency to defy the natural landscape.
Forty-one years ago today, the towering colossus capped an extraordinary Yuletide season against the expansion Seattle SuperSonics with what for him was just one more eye-popping game.
Chamberlain, the Philadelphia native who was dubbed "Wilt the Stilt" but preferred to be called the "Big Dipper," poured in 53 points and grabbed 38 rebounds as the 76ers coasted to a 160-122 victory before a crowd of 7,714 at Seattle Coliseum.
The Sonics saw enough of Chamberlain and the defending NBA champion 76ers that month to last them an eternity. The teams played four games that December in three cities, and none of them was Philadelphia. Philly won all four by double-digit margins.
