Tribune caption on the back: June 7, 1962- "The B-I-G Man- They call Wilt Chamberlain the colossus of pro basketball, and officials of the San Fracisco Warriors and newsmen found out why last night when he flew into the Bay Area. Tom Gray (at right in left photo), president of the Warriors and general manager Eddie Gottlieb enjoyed a laugh as Gray inspected the size of the Stilt's coat. Check those legs as he relaxes at right." Photo shows Chamberlain, wearing a suit, towering over with Gray and Gottlieb in front of a sign for the San Francisco International Airport.
