I thought that Chamberlain played for the Lakers, not the Harlem Globetrotters?

Didn’t Elvira date Presley in her younger days?

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).

Wilt left Kansas after his junior year and was not yet eligible for the NBA. He played for the Globetrotters for one season.
