When it comes to Chamberlain, the first thing we can think of is the miracle of 100 points in a single game, and then his absolute dominance over the NBA in ancient times. Throughout his career, Chamberlain played for three different teams and won many honors in each team.
Chamberlain showed absolute control in his rookie season when he debuted in the Warriors, and won the first regular season MVP of his career early. In the third season of his career, Chamberlain averaged 50.4 points and 25.7 rebounds per game, which was not only the scoring champion, but also the rebounding champion. With his outstanding personal performance, the Warriors put away his jersey early and made plans for his retirement.
1965, Chamberlain, eager to win the championship, joined the 76 ers. During the 76ers' period, Chamberlain developed his own organizational tandem ability and upgraded the team by at least one level. 1966-67 season, Chamberlain finally realized his dream and led the 76 ers to win the championship, which was the first championship in his career. In the following time, Chamberlain continued his performance, not only winning the most valuable player in the regular season many times, but also winning the season assists. Although Chamberlain only played for the 76ers for three years, he made great contributions to the team. In order to thank him for his contribution, the 76ers also retired Chamberlain's jersey.
In the second half of his career, Chamberlain switched to the Los Angeles Lakers and continued to expand his territory. During his five years with the Lakers, Chamberlain was selected as the best defensive player twice for a period of time, and led the Lakers to the championship in the 197 1-72 season. With excellent personal data, Chamberlain won the most valuable player in the finals. To thank Chamberlain for his contribution to the team, the Lakers retired Chamberlain's jersey to emulate the Warriors and the 76ers. As a result, Chamberlain has also become the first player in the NBA to be retired by three different teams, and is currently the only one.
However, there is also a superstar among the active players who is likely to enjoy the honor of retiring from three different teams. He is the star of the Lakers now, James.
In the just-concluded finals, James led the Lakers to beat the Heat and helped the team win the first 17 championship in team history. With outstanding personal performance, James was elected as the most valuable player in the finals. It is worth mentioning that James has helped the Heat win two championships before, and also helped the Cavaliers win a championship. Therefore, the above three teams are likely to retire James jerseys in the future in order to thank James for his contribution.
