Rejected by the Record Books: How Many Shots Did Wilt Chamberlain Actually Block?

Blocked shots became an official NBA statistic in the 1973-74 NBA season. Wilt Chamberlain's NBA career ended after the 1972-73 season.

In this presentation, Lynch will sort through the available evidence (video review, contemporary newspaper accounts and anecdotes) in order to estimate how many shots this Goliath blocked during his Hall of Fame career.
