‘River City Weekly’ focuses on Chamberlain

Wilt Chamberlain was the greatest basketball player of his era and perhaps the greatest of all time.

Find out about Chamberlain’s impact on basketball and on Lawrence and learn more about Chamberlain from four who knew him – Bill Mayer, of the Journal-World; Jerry Waugh, Chamberlain’s assistant coach at Kansas University; teammate Maurice King; and Max Falkenstien, “the voice of the Jayhawks” – in a special “River City Weekly” encore beginning tonight on Sunflower Broadband Channel 6.
