 In the 1965 – 66 NBA season the Sixers experienced tragedy when Ike Richman , the Sixers ' co @-@ owner as well as Chamberlain 's confidant and lawyer , died of a coronary . The Sixers would post a 55 – 25 regular season record , and for his strong play , Chamberlain won his second MVP award . In that season , the center again dominated his opposition by recording 33 @.@ 5 points and 24 @.@ 6 rebounds a game , leading the league in both categories . In one particular game , Chamberlain blocked a dunk attempt by Gus Johnson so hard that he dislocated Johnson 's shoulder . Off the court , however , Chamberlain 's commitment to the cause was doubted , as Chamberlain was a late sleeper , lived in New York and preferred to commute to Philadelphia rather than live there , and he was only available during the afternoon for training . Because Schayes did not want to risk angering his best player , he scheduled the daily workout at 4 pm ; this angered the team , who preferred an early schedule to have the afternoon off , but Schayes just said : " There is no other way . " Irv Kosloff , who now owned the Sixers alone after Richman 's death , pleaded to him to move to Philadelphia during the season , but he was turned down .
