Origin[]

Wilton Norman "Wilt" Chamberlain (August 21, 1936 – October 12, 1999) was an American basketball player. He played for the Philadelphia/San Francisco Warriors, the Philadelphia 76ers and the Los Angeles Lakers of the NBA; he played for the University of Kansas and also for the Harlem Globetrotters before playing in the NBA. The 7-foot 1-inch Chamberlain weighed 250 pounds as a rookie before bulking up to 275 and eventually to over 300 pounds with the Lakers. He played the center position and is widely considered one of the greatest and most dominant players in NBA history. He was also known to be a womanizer. He reportedly had over 20,000 sexual relationships with women and never married or had children.

This Basketball became imbued with his sexual desires and has the power to invoke those feelings into other men.

Effects[]

When touched, the basketball turns it's toucher into a womanizer which also ables them to attract women. It also effects people whom their sexual orientation is of the opposite sex, but it does not effect women.

Relationships last extremely fast while people are effected, which is extremely dangerous as the women whom are in the relationships when the men break up with the women, they die of a broken heart. As in, their hearts literally stop beating.

Collection[]

It was discovered after three women were discovered dead in the home of Eddie Rivera, an openly gay sales clerk in Akron, Ohio who had suddenly became heterosexual, almost unknowingly to Eddie when not around women. When the artifact started to affect more openly gay and closeted gay men, Artie and Steve noticed a pattern, that's when they discovered that a church member of the Saint Sebastian Church, Judith Bailey started a program for homosexual people to "cure" them, while using this basketball in a attempt to "cure" them. It temporarily affected Steve when interviewing Judith Bailey of her attendees.
