During his Hall of Fame career, Wilt Chamberlain, the towering center who played for the Warriors, Sixers, and Lakers, may have kept a significant secret.
A 6-foot-5, fifty-year-old San Francisco resident says he is the late NBA star’s son, and a Sports Illustrated cover story describes how his 12-year search for his biological parents led him to the conclusion that Chamberlain was his father.
A man from San Francisco has declared himself to be the son of the late NBA player Wilt Chamberlain, who played for the Philadelphia 76ers and Los Angeles Lakers.
Aaron Levi, 50, was able to confirm with his birth mother that the Hall of Fame basketball player is his father after a 12-year search for his true parents.
He told Sports Illustrated that once he discovered his biological mother, “Elizabeth,” a white British lady whose real name is withheld for privacy reasons, she told him she conceived him following a one-night encounter with Chamberlain.
According to background information on Levi’s original parents found in documents, Elizabeth gave Levi up for adoption because she believed she could not raise a child who was bi-racial and refused to reveal the father’s identity in order to preserve his reputation.
