In the teaser clip, Chamberlain's two living sisters, Selina Chamberlain Gross and Barbara Lewis, talk about their parents and childhoods together in West Philadelphia. Selina recalls how her parents, even though they were poor, had a big family and never finished school, were still proud homeowners, while Barbara reminisces on Wilt's tremendous growth spurts and how his height surprised his mom after a summer away on a farm in the South.
"One summer, he came home - at that time we were in elementary school- and my mother almost fainted," says Barbara in the clip. "She could not believe he had grown so tall so fast. [He was] like six-five."
The clip takes a look at the humble family beginnings that gave birth to Wilt's legend, one more layer of the Basketball Hall of Famer's storied life that will continue to be examined throughout the three-part series.
GOLIATH is produced by Village Roadshow Television and Gotham Chopra's Religion of Sports in association with Kevin Garnett's Content Cartel, Happy Madison Productions and Heeltap! Entertainment, and directed by Rob Ford (The Cost of Winning; BOYS IN BLUE) and Christopher Dillon (THE LINCOLN PROJECT, SHUT UP AND DRIBBLE) and executive produced by Ford, Charles J. Lindsay (61*), William Lindsay, Matt Mosko, Garnett, Mike Marangu (KG: ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE), Brian Bennett, Shannon Perry, Chopra (SHUT UP AND DRIBBLE) and Ameeth Sankaran (Tom vs. Time).
