Wilt Chamberlain Leads the Los Angeles Lakers to their FIRST Ever Championship

Despite the "Laker lore" that exists today, the Lakers were known as a team that could not win the big game. The year is 1972, and the Lakers have yet to win an NBA championship since their move to Los Angeles. Enter Wilt Chamberlain. This video will cover the 5th game of the 1972 NBA Finals, focusing on the performance of Wilt Chamberlain. Wilt only attempted 14 shots, but his highlight package is jam-packed because of his defensive presence. He was an absolute marvel on the boards and as a rim protector on this night. And yes, I am aware that the "Lakers" organization had won multiple championships by 1972. But again, they had never won a championship in the city of Los Angeles. Enjoy!
