By KATE STANTON, UPI.com

Before his enormously successful career in the NBA, the 7-foot-1 inch Wilt Chamberlain was an incredibly gifted college basketball player with the Kansas Jayhawks.

A new YouTube video splices together Chamberlain's highlights in the last five games of his 1957 season with the Jayhawks, during which the then-sophomore averaged 32.2 points, 15.2 boards and 6.6 blocks, according to NBC Sports.

The Jayhawks were defeated by North Carolina in a razor-thin triple-overtime loss, though Chamberlain still earned tournament MVP.
