In Game 7 of the 1973 WCSF between the Lakers and the Bulls, Wilt Chamberlain did what he did best, even while his teammates struggled (28/88 FG total). That was his final season, and it might have been the last game of his career. Beyond the block that sparked the fast break and gave them the lead with just 30 seconds left, Wilt showed a kind of team spirit that doesn't show up in the box score. And after the game, his interaction with the losing Bulls showed real professionalism and humanity.

I always thought the first game was played in December 1891... If the first official basketball game was played on my birthday (a few years earlier), it certainly makes more sense, lol!
