      Ask any bodybuilder or power lifter. There's not a chance in hell he could lift 600 lbs. He couldn't even deadlift 600lbs.
      I know people who are insanely strong and have been on steroids for 30+ years. Physics wouldn't allow a man with a 90+ inch wingspan be able to lift 600. He's so arrogant. Michael and Shaq have double and triple the amount of titles. Wilt wasn't even the best player in his day. He wasn't even the best center lol Michael also didn't play against mostly all 6'8" white centers that couldn't jump. Michael also didn't ONLY play against 10-12 teams. I respected Wilt and what he's meant but there's zero reason to lie to make yourself feel better. Leading scorer of all time PPG 30.1. Guess who? 9-10x scoring champ. DPOY of the year as a 6'6" SG as well as MVP in the same year. At least compare the man who dominated Wilt with 11 titles. Bill Russell was 9 championships better than arrogant Wilt has 2 titles and the man thinks he's the GOAT lol

      Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge. Hebrews 13:4
      14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:
      15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;
      16 Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.
      17 For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears. Hebrews 12:14-17
      9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
      10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10
      3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
      4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 1 John 2:3-4

      Wilt only said that in the context of showing off, being a hot dog and embarrassing the other team. Remember, dunking was looked down on to the point that they outlawed it in college in the late 1960s. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar played college basketball and wasn't allowed dunk in his entire 4 year career at UCLA.
      In his day, dunking like Michael Jordan did was considered being an unsportsman like hot dog trying to embarrass your opponent.
      Chamberlain made the point that if Jordan tried that, the big men on the opposition would be looking to hammer him every single time he came down the lane. As Chamberlain said, I don't think he would get hit, I know he would get hit.
      The opposition wouldn't like him showboating. His own teammates wouldn't like him showboating, and the fans wouldn't I have gone for it either. That's why he made the comment about the coach benching him, just to get Michael focused back on playing basketball and not being a clown.
      He wasn't trying to say that Michael Jordan didn't have the ability to play in his era. He clearly said that Michael Jordan was a superstar who would be a superstar in any era. He would simply have to adjust his game to make sure it wasn't offensive to the other NBA players if he was playing in the 1960s.

      @@alp6675 Doubt it. Young Wilt Chamberlain is the same height as Rudy Gobert, much stronger and with a documented vertical leap 10 inches higher than Giannis Antetokounmpo. Also 2 inches taller than the Greek Freak. He was a five sport track star in college, undefeated in the shot put, long jumping over 22 ft and high jumping 6 ft 7. He also ran marathons into his fifties, which explains why he averaged 48 1/2 minutes played per game for the entire 1962 season. He didn't get tired when he was young. He had incredible endurance.
      Like LeBron James and Joel Embiid both publicly said, Wilt Chamberlain was an athletic freak who would dominate in any era. Point blank.
      If Rudy Gobert could be an all-star, and two-time defensive player of the year, Wilt Chamberlain would exceed that. He would lead the league in rebounding every single year and as a rim protector, nobody would score if they came anywhere within 10 feet of the rim.
      Also, Chamberlain wasn't saying Jordan would be on the bench because of his talent. He said that Jordan's a superstar who would be a superstar in any era.
      Chamberlain was specifically referring to showboating while you're dunking a basketball. That was extremely frowned on in the 1960s and any big men on the opposing team would make it a point to knock you on your ass every time you came down the lane as punishment for trying to show up the other team.
      Like Wilt said, I don't think he would get hit, I know he would get hit. He only meant that Jordan's coach would bench him long enough to have a talk with Michael to get him focused on winning the game, not being a hot dog.

    Wilt will always be a favorite of mine because of this one anecdote: During the 1968-69 NBA season, Wilt was in town to play the Boston Celtics. He arrived a day ahead of the game, and walked over to a nearby cinema complex to catch a film. My older brother was there with a date, and she was the cutest, little woman.. standing just under 5 feet. She recognized Wilt right away (at over 7 feet, he was easy to spot), and said to him, "Mr. Chamberlain, you're so tall, I could walk in between your legs." To which Wilt replied, "I wish you would, little lady, I wish you would." True story.

      Keeping in mind that a basketball game ending in regulation is 48 minutes long, it's interesting how Wilt could average 48.5 minutes per game for a whole season. The fact is - and there's stats for this, so this Chamberlain story at least is not BS - Wilt was on the court for all but eight minutes that entire season, and the only reason he was out those eight minutes is because he got ejected one game. Aside from that, he played every minute of every game, never fouling out, never going to the bench for a breather. With ten overtime periods to add to the eighty games he played that season, the math comes out to 48.5 minutes per game. Since he also averaged better than 50 points per game that season - another record that will probably never get broken - it seems unlikely his ability to play entire games was facilitated by taking plays off. Seriously, his stamina was unreal.

  • @fenzelian
    @fenzelian 3 ปีที่แล้ว +42

    The thing to remember about Wilt’s era is there were no 3-pointers, the guards were much worse at outside shooting and shot selection, and there was no 3-second rule, so players on both teams tended not to create as much space on the floor in the half court. Anybody ran up and down the floor fast trying to get off shots before the defense got in there to clog all the lanes, and then everybody crashed the boards. This favored fast, leaping big men with a lot of cardio like Chamberlain and Bill Russell. The dominant player coming out of that era was a guy who could score reliably without getting in the mess under the basket - Kareem.
    In Shaq’s day the rules were different and favored moving the ball around the outside and then going inside and outside with it. The dominant big men were mostly really big and strong and difficult to move, because you would mostly look for mismatches or one on one down low, maybe beating a double team - quick and explosive in the post, but not fast runners looking to leap over the whole other team to get rebounds. Yeah there’s Hakeem but he was one of a kind.
    If Shaq had played in Wilt’s era he would have been great, but he would have been entirely different. For one he would have been like 100 lbs lighter and would have played around the elbow and the top of the key a lot more than made sense in his era.

    • @fenzelian
      @fenzelian 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      One factor to add was in Wilt’s day nobody really knew how to rebound. Oh they bang around, but if you look at the old game footage from his prime era, nobody boxed out - Wilt would follow his own shot and just run circles around guys to grab rebounds because he was faster, taller and more athletic.
      But Moses Malone revolutionized the rebounding game and every big man and power forward after him is different because of it (and of course Charles Barkley played with Moses early in his career). If Wilt played in Shaq’s era he would have needed to learn those techniques or he’d be constantly called for over the back fouls on shorter guys boxing him out. It would have reduced the advantage he had from his pure athleticism.

    • @RageDaug
      @RageDaug ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You couldn't play physical offensive basketball in the 60's. There's some video's floating around, but they show Wilt and Kareem getting called for offensive chargers for the barest of lowering their shoulders. If you pushed a defender off their spot, that was an offensive foul. So I'm not sure how Shaq thrives in that game. He didn't have a great outside shot, fade away, or hook, and wouldn't have been able to bulldoze his way to the rim. So I think Shaq would have looked like one of those other centers playing against Wilt at the time.

    • @RageDaug
      @RageDaug ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@fenzelian Wilt would have played within the rules, so likely a less effective rebounder, but considering some of his other staggering stat lines, which was that he averaged near 45 minutes a game throughout his career, and never fouled out of a single professional game, I don't foresee him jumping over folk's back to get the rebound.

    I MET WILT & WE SHOOK HANDS. Born in New Jersey in 1949, our family went to a whole number of Harlem Globetrotters' games as our main form of outside entertainment during the year that they had this great "point guard"; what was his name, oh yeah, Wilt. I "followed" Wilt into the NBA the following year and have been a "rabid" NBA/ABA/NBL fan ever since. I actually MET Wilt once - in the San Diego sports arena - he was seated in the stands in the aisle seat when I went by going up the steps. I recognized him; stopped walking and he smiled that dazzling (and sympathetic) smile of his; and extended his hand to me - we shook hands ... and ... and I couldn't get out a word.
    I swore I'd never let that happen again; until just a few years later it did. I was running long distance (2.5 hours a day, year round) in San Diego's Balboa Park (the super-hilly sections); when I crossed paths with this giant of a man on a bicycle (which he absolutely dwarfed). I recognized him, it was Bill Walton - and once again I was speechless.
    Back to Wilt. Almost noone alive today KNOWS this about Wilt: that he was the exact opposite of a selfish guy. We heard about it back then - it was regular news. Wilt (sometimes accompanied by a college teammate) would go to restaurants that were "whites only" and deliberately sit in the front. He HAD TO KNOW that he could be killed at any moment for doing so - but he (personally) ended up integrating first Kansas and then the whole region around it. Someone that SELF-LESS could not have, a short time later, transformed into a selfish player. Heck, we knew, back then, that he'd often back off from absolutely dominating an opponent - out of sympathy.

    Wilt lived a life most people can’t even imagine no wonder they think he made it up... if his games weren’t taped and his scores written down by others people would think his career was a fake. He too real!!!!!

      It’s absurd and a lie. He didn’t sleep with a different woman everyday for 50 years. Be real

    Wether the 20.000 women number is real or not, it worked like a marketing campaign and it has become a landmark in popular culture (and it fitted perfectly with his self assured personality). So, the guys who published the book did a pretty job with Wilt's biography.
