Wilt Chamberlain

Chamberlain always wore a rubber band around his wrist, due to a superstition, and was fond of saying that "Nobody roots for Goliath." He died unexpectedly of a heart attack in his sleep in his Los Angeles, California home. The sitemap files can then be used to indicate to a web crawler how such pages can be found. He also noted that he never tried to sleep with a woman who was married. The basic premise is that some sites have a large number of pages that are only available through the use of forms and user entries. Chamberlain defended himself, saying "I was just doing what was natural — chasing good-looking ladies, whoever they were and wherever they were available". Google maintains a feature called Google Sitemaps that allows web developers to publish lists of links from across their sites. He drew heavy criticism from many public figures, who accused him of fulfilling stereotypes about African Americans, and of behaving irresponsibly (especially given the AIDS crisis, which was well underway by the 1980s, when many of the conquests were made). While some developers argue that site index is a more appropriately used term to relay page function, web visitors are used to seeing each term and generally assosciate both as one in the same.

Many people doubted his specific number, though few questioned the fact of wild sexual behavior. Most search engines will only follow a finite number of links from a page, so if a site is very large, additional strategies besides the site map may be required that search engines, and visitors, can access all content on the site. He authored four books before his death on October 12, 1999, including an autobiography, A View from Above, in which he controversially claimed to have had sex with almost 20,000 women — this would have averaged 1.2 women per day from age 15 until his death. Site maps do have limitations. He also could bench press 500 pounds. This is especially important if a site uses Macromedia Flash or JavaScript menus that do not include HTML links. In 1984, he co-starred (along with future Governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger) in Conan the Destroyer. Site maps can improve search engine optimization of a site by making sure that all the pages can be found.

He also was an actor, celebrity and businessman after his playing career concluded. An example is the one on EFF's (Electronic Frontier Foundation's) page. He flirted with boxing, and was offered a pro football contract by Kansas City Chiefs in 1966. This helps visitors, and search engine robots, to find pages on the site. Wilt also earned accolades for other sports, including track and field (in which he ran the 100-yard dash in 10.9 seconds in high school), volleyball (he founded and starred in a pro league) and auto racing, among others. A site map (or sitemap) is a web page that lists the pages on a web site site, typically organized in hierarchical fashion. His battles with center Bill Russell were legendary; they were fierce competitors on the court, yet were close personal friends off the hardwood. Google Sitemaps.

Chamberlain ranked #2 in SLAM Magazine's Top 75 NBA Players of all time in 2003. ISBN 0-7645-6758-6.. His career scoring average of 30.06 points per game (ppg) is second-highest in league history, fractionally behind Jordan's 30.12 ppg. Search Engine Optimization For Dummies, Wiley Publishing Inc. This was the best in the league when he retired in 1973, though his scoring total has since been exceeded by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Karl Malone, both of whom played several more seasons than Chamberlain, and by Michael Jordan. Kent, Peter (2004). Chamberlain scored 31,419 points in 1,045 professional games.

Chamberlain is also the only player in NBA history to achieve a double-triple-double (20 points, 20 rebounds, 20 assists), in one game. The next closest player is Elgin Baylor, who averaged 38.3 ppg in the same '61-62 season in which Chamberlain set the record. Chamberlain also holds the next three spots on the NBA's season scoring average list with 44.8, 38.9 and 38.4 points per game. His 1961-62 scoring average of 50.4 ppg, accomplished with the Philadelphia Warriors, is by far the NBA record.

In his 14 years in the NBA, he never once fouled out of a game, despite being the centerpiece on defense for each team he played for. He led the NBA in rebounding 11 times, led in shooting percentage seven times, led in scoring seven times, and even led in assists one season. He averaged 30.1 points and 22.9 rebounds per game for his career. The 7-foot 1-inch (2.16 m) Chamberlain holds nearly 100 NBA records, including the record for most points in a game -- 100, which he scored on March 2, 1962, against the New York Knicks in Hershey, Pennsylvania.

The Lakers sued to keep Chamberlain off the court, and he never played another game, coaching the Conquistadors for only one year. In 1973, the San Diego Conquistadors of the American Basketball Association offered Chamberlain a $600,000 contract as player-coach. "And they were all on the road.". "I played with the Harlem Globetrotters and we won 445 in a row," he said at the time.

Chamberlain, however, was not that impressed. Only two years later, he was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers, where he won another title in 1972, and was instrumental in setting a new records for most victories in a season (69), as well as that team's 33-game winning streak, the longest such streak in any American professional sport. However, he was the centerpiece of the Sixers team that finally ended the Celtics dynasty in 1967, winning a then-record 68 games en route to the NBA title. Again, he was blocked from the finals by the presence of the Celtics in the Eastern Division.

After that season, Chamberlain was traded back to Philadelphia, where the Syracuse Nationals had recently moved to become the 76ers. By this time, the Warriors had moved to San Francisco, where, ironically, they lost to the Celtics. The presence of the Celtics in the same Eastern Division as the Warriors (his rookie year saw the first of the Celtics' record eight straight NBA titles) kept Chamberlain out of the NBA Finals until 1964. The Warriors lost to the Boston Celtics in the Conference Finals that year, which would be an ongoing occurrence in Chamberlain's career.

He became the first player to be named MVP and Rookie of the Year in the same season. In his first year with the Warriors, Chamberlain lead the league in scoring, with 37.6 points per game, and rebounding, with 27 rebounds per game. He was listed as third pick in the NBA draft but was actually a territorial pick. He played two years with the Harlem Globetrotters until finally becoming eligible to join the Warriors.

However, he wasn't eligible to play in the NBA until his college class graduated in 1959. The Philadelphia Warriors owned his NBA rights, having picked him in 1955 as a territorial pick. After that game, he decided to turn pro, citing that he wanted to be paid for being double and triple teamed every night. He played two years for the University of Kansas, where he earned All-American honors twice and led the Jayhawks to the 1957 championship game (which they lost to North Carolina 54-53 in three overtimes).

Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Chamberlain drew national attention playing at Overbrook High School in the city. Known as Wilt the Stilt (a nickname he hated) or The Big Dipper, he is regarded as one of the greatest and most dominant basketball players of all time[1] for the incredible statistical achievements he attained throughout his playing career. Wilton Norman Chamberlain (August 21, 1936 – October 12, 1999) was a former NBA basketball player.
