Episode 153 – George Marcus, Teenage Imposter

In the early 1950s, there was a player named George Marcus who was averaging 50 points per game in a lower-level professional basketball league. He even won the league’s MVP trophy. There were just three problems: He was only 16 years old, he was still in high school, and his name was not actually George Marcus. His real name was Wilt Chamberlain.
