Zero replies, let me fix that
Best rant I've ever had in my life
The only problem with the rant is that if you look at travels and offensive fouls at that time it is a lot crazier than the NBA now. In nowadays you can get away with murder and will still be called a defensive foul but if you look at Wilts era you could not do nearly as much. I think that attributes to Wilt not having success against Bill Russell because Bill was a really good defensive player. If we put this a more modern day calling we would see a complete different game.
Also I mentioned before that travels were a lot different and with Will being so athletic he could do more moves in modern day NBA travel calling than he could do in the past
There’a a really good video by thinking basketball that highlights this and if you have time to watch it I suggest you do th-cam.com/video/6IPXSqOhykg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=GtkJzfZTeHQuMoDc

It's the same thing as baseball fans who think Babe Ruth is a top player, as if that pot belly wasn't playing against part-timers.
Literally generational
"We have hieroglyphics from ancient Egypt" got me dead 💀
sheet of paper with crayon lmao
“Won 8 rings on your watch”😂😂😂🔥🔥🔥
W Donovan how can you let your only rival win eight rings and Your just running up and down stat padding LITERALLY.This is what y’all consider top 12 or 10???
@@NormalFootyFanliterally wilt started winning once he stopped scoring. The trend is actually insane.
We’ve got Hieroglyphics from Egypt and nobody’s seen the 100 point game, that’s killed me that’s the funniest thing I’ve heard for like a month 😂😂😂
The game is well documented. Harvey Pollack, who was the NBA’s most respected statistician and was involved with the NBA from the beginning of the league until 2015, tracked this game among many other Wilt games. There is radio broadcast of the game. It was in thousands of newspapers. 4000 eyewitnesses saw it. An entire team of opponents will ratify they had 100 dropped on their head by one guy. It is undeniable the game is real
@@lukekiefer5964It's honestly on the NBA for not promoting the 100-point game very well younger audiences by just showing the picture of Wilt holding the 100 sign. The hieroglyphics comment, while absolutely hilarious, has a good point.
can we please get more of don's 10 min rants🤣 (btw the funniest episode ever we NEED more in person)
Donavan turning into a content machine, I love it! Also, definitely give us more vids from that 5-10 mins range!
Ye
While I agree wilt was the first stat padder and definitely should have had a ring or two on Russell’s head. Wilt not being able to win speaks more to Russell’s greatness rather than wilts failure
Also consider Bill Russell played with 11 hall of famers
He does have a ring on Bill Russell's head in 67 lol, they beat the Celtics 4-1 in ECF
@@netkonesto I’m saying these dudes are clowns
Wilt is not a stat padder y’all need to stop with this narrative
@@hyabberhanehe is when he started scoring less he started winning
Been watching since episode 20 and this has to be the peak of Dons legendary hating career so far
Wilt did win a ring before the Lakers 😅
Beat Bill Russell in 5 games in the ECF
Averaged 26 PPG vs BOS in his playoff career
1 series out of possible a lot, but yeah it was also the yr where wilt deliberately chances playstyle into a greater player
He always changed his playstyle to fit his team. More unfactual narratives being pushed
@BoosterGoldEarth6 what's unfactual about the comment
I think Bill dominating Wilt is a bit overstated. He beat Wilt in 4 game 7s by a combined 11 points. His teams just simply had more talent.
Wilt averaged 12PPG in the 1969 finals, the Lakers lost because of Wilt. His average fell off a cliff in multiple big games. 1970 against the Knicks following season, Game 7, he went missing. This was with West & Baylor as teammates, he got it together for 72 but so did Dirk in 2011
Wilt also did fail under perform in some aspect for each of those game sevens and in 68 led his team to a blown 3-1 lead, the first in history in fact.
@@reillyhopf6508 1968 wilt did underachieve but one aspect he never did was his defensive versatility and rebounding, his playmaking remained the same only thing that changed was that his scoring was less due to the fact of coaching influence and him literally passing when he should shoot again due to the inexperience with him and coaches with their strategy. he still had one of the best efficacies scoring in that season only thing that underachieved was his expected points which i already said why it was affected and had a sense of underachievement
Couldn't win at least 1 of those 4?
@@emilioreyes4159 he did lol if you think about it wilt is the most underrated yet overrated player in the top 12 of all time because its hard to rank him due to his inability to have a consistent playstyle in basketball even though he was so dominant due to his coaches always changing
Bill Russel played with 3-5 hall of famers in EVERY ring he played in. At one point Bill Russel had bench players that were hall of famers, Wilt Chamberlain carried his team as he didn't have any other teammates to help him. Wilt Chamberlain was Bill Russels biggest challenge and almost beating him every time he played says alot about Wilt Chamberlain.
Back then everyone who was on those celtics teams was a hall of famer. The league was young. Today none of them would be in the hall now.
They aren't in the hall of fame because they are good, they are there because Bill gifted them rings. Look at their stats, typical bench/mid players
@@ilayhyamsnot like they had a former MVP averaging 20 and 8, a 20+ ppg sharpshooter at SG (Sharman and then Jones), a 20+ ppg at SF (Havlicek), a 20ppg at PF (Heinson) or anything...
Do you realize how hard it is to have 4 players averaging 20ppg? The 2017 Warriors had 3, and nobody else over 10.
The Celtics had multiple season with 5 different guys hovering around 19.
@@12gark not as impressive as it sounds as the pace was high and the defence wasn't that good, points were easier also one peak season per 4 players isn't that impressive. Wilt just had those points for himself
@@ilayhyams defenses and paces were the same for every team, but only the Celtics could do that, and no one could after that to this day.
Cousy, Havlicek and Russell were Hall of Famers regardless of the team they played on. Jones and Heinson were 5 and 6 times all star. If having 2 MVPs, 2 other all star and a young player that would become multiple time all NBA on the same team is not impressive, I don't know what would be.
It's like adding another all star to 2014 Spurs and pretend it's normal 😂
I've never laughed this hard at an NBA take in my life and I mean that in a good way😂😂 pure poetry
Seeing how far this pod has come is so cool
Keep up the good work !❤️
Edit:Since You Guys Are all there y’all should do A video playing Bball in real life
The craziest thing is that he's not even involving his personal/emotional opinion in this matter; he's just reciting statistical and historical FACTS
That 100 points on a chalk board is actually kinda sussy.
The official scorer for the game had the idea to write 100 on a piece of paper and have Wilt hold it up…the audio of the game exists…4300 people were witnesses..plus the Knicks were not a good team..in ‘62..and Wilt was scoring in the 60’s in 4 games leading into this one..Wilt was also averaging over 25 rebounds a game..he was so good, they changed the rules..and he still has 72 records in the books..what does anyone else have..that impressive..?
Facts facts facts. Guy didn’t say a single lie the whole time
everything he said was total bullshit.
He said Wilt didn't win until he played with West, but Wilt beat Russel when he was in Philly, before he went to the Lakers. So one lie at least.
@@Tarrot Many lies the comment section is filled with pure ignorance at the levels I have never seen before.
I LIVE for Donnavan rants man
Wait until Jonny Arnett sees this 😂
That would be interesting.
Omg I saw this on episode 50 it was so funny keep up the great work
The Answer not being in anyone’s top 30 makes me sad
How can you forget the number of insane players Bill Russell had, at one point his Celtics had 9 future hall of famers on his team, it was usually about 1-4 future hall of famers along with Bill Russell, and Wilt had 3 at his best and usually had his best teammate be like Guy Rodgers, far from the elite talent Bill Russell had career-round.
Similar to wilt but probably similar to Jerry west and Lakers too, but bill cooked wilt , like he made him useless in that end
@@nicmagtaan1132 Bill Russell never even guarded Wilt by himself... the Celtics always played two guys on Wilt. And how is WILT averaging 30 points and 28 rebounds getting cooked by Russell.
Donovan’s steaming hot takes keep this podcast interesting
Donovan is speaking FACTS!!! 💯
Donovan be speaking straight facts 🤣🤣
If Luka was in 1960 he's averaging like 75
They would call him a witch if he played in the 60s
@@KaguyaShinomiya-be5rg Fr lol
He would like primitive because the rules were primitive
No he wouldn't because of the rules,alot of the moves luka does would be considered a travel/carry back then no to mention teams were built around Big men back then not guards or wing players
@@KaguyaShinomiya-be5rg They would call him a bum and he would not make the league. Most players today would be benched for travelling palming the ball and offensive fouling out of the games. You see basketball was played correctly back then and players had class and sportsmanship back then. They were decent men not degenerates like the players today so they would not be called witches they be called losers bums and criminals with no class and many would get beaten down on a regular basis as the men back then were much tougher with higher levels of testosterone and much higher IQs. This was before Rap Crap and victimhood culture and soft feminized boys and men with rude attitudes and a false overblown sense of entitlement.
bro took hating to another level 💀💀
nah he speakin fax tho..wilt in todays nba would be like mitchell robinson 😂

i swear i watched the pod went it came out and donvavan was on his day he was ranting about everything
“8 rings on your watch” lol
Do: Name NBA players until someone fumbles
"you don't win any ring until we get to Jerry West".
Not like Wilt didn't beat the Celtics on a team with 1 single other star in 1968, or if Wilt wasn't the one winning FMVP in 72.
That's an L take if I've ever seen one.
And the "per 75 possession" is even WORSE: the guy played 48 minutes a night on a ridiculous pace, you can't just pretend that if he played 36 minutes on a much slower pace he would have the same "per minute" impact, it's just ridiculous. It's like taking a marathon runner, and say "yeah, but you see, on a one-mile sample that's not so fast, I can do that for a mile" ignoring the fact that the guy did that for 25 STRAIGH miles.
L
Yup. These guys know nothing about basketball. And if you properly adjust his prime numbers for inflation, Wilt's scoring rate, assist rate, and efficiency lined up very closely with Shaq's. Only just like you said, he was giving you that for 48 minutes, and was one of the best rim protectors ever averaging around 6 blocks a game.
Adjusted to the 2020 season:
62-64, 66-67 Wilt: 27.3 pts/75, 3.9 ast/75, 65.1 TS%
98-03 Shaq: 30.9 pts/75, 3.4 ast/75, 63.9 TS%
Bill Russell for reference averaged 12.6/3.4 on 56.0 TS%
@@jjab430 nah most stars averaged 45 minutes back then and none of them came close to Wilt's stats.
The odd thing is after he swapped styles to a more conservative team oriented style he won more. His style produced personal numbers and losses. He is a nba myth and was just a way ahead of the pack physical athlete.
@@bobbysnobby he didn't just "swap style": he changed team, teammates and coach.
Those early Warriors team were very limited on offense, with only 1 other very good scorer, but were actually ok in defense even without Wilt. So he focused on scoring, which was also his instinctual thing to do.
When he got to the Sixers and then the Lakers he was more mature, he finally had offensive talent around him and someone that he actually respected as a coach, so he focused more on what the team needed the most: defense, passing, rebounding. That led to more success.
The Warriors were a 33% won rate team when he scored less than 35.
This is an all time rant and pure facts
Thank you! The hype for wilt is at fairytale levels. He could bench 450 pounds, had a 48 inch vertical, could run a 4.4 forty, and ran the space program. Why do people not see that this a game of telephone over 40-50 years and originated from Wilt himself. Who btw was incredibly egotistical and had a desire to mythologize himself.
Right cause Bobby is totally a believable source. Grow up!
Yeah, supposed weight room numbers and track and field numbers are provably false, because we can go back and look at recorded records in Philadelphia (where he went to Highschool) and at the university of Kansas, and his best recorded times, jump distances, etc are nowhere NEAR what people say. Bill Russell actually had much better jumps when he did track in college.
And of course the 500lb bench press stories are completely made up - no one who has been lifting for more than 5 months beleives a guy with a 7'5 wingspan that is under 300lbs could hit even close to that. 6'8 440lb professional strongmen BARELY hit 500lbs on bench.
What do you mean fairy tales stop the bs just say you haven't seen him before before commenting nonsense
The greatest moment in TD3 History
This had my dying on the full video
Donovan cooked this episode
This is crazy, no way you're putting Wilt at #16...Some mad salt from the fella.
No one mentions that Wilt averaged 8.8 blocks per game over 112 games tracked by the most respected NBA statistician of all time, Harvey Pollack, who continued as a statistician with the NBA until 2015. Even if Wilt only played 36 minutes per game that would be 7 blocks per game. Plus, that’s a dumb argument because why wouldn’t Wilt continue to play 40+ minutes per game today? He was an absolute freak and had arguably the best gas tank ever, which he would use to his advantage today, which he confirmed in multiple interviews.
He is actually speakin fax best wilt stan shut down
Bunch of people who has never watched a single minute of Wilt play defending him. Lol😊
just when i thought don couldn't top his KAT rant 😭
This is up there with the KAT rant
And I thought the Kat rant was legendary I was crying listening to this let him cook
Wilt chamberlain is the best athletic man in history: the cardio obviously but much more than that, he was at high jump races and he could lift like 400 pounds
Greatest loser of all time
I think people overlook the fact wilt had 2 good coaches in his career and both those years he won the chip and most games setting a record for games won each time like in 67 when he had Alex hannum he won the most games in nba history up to that point smoked russel in 5 and won the chip and the other time when he had bill sharmann he again won almost 70 games without Elgin Baylor for the majority of the season including a 33 game winning streak the best in nba history going on to beat a title contender and last years title winner in Kareem then went on to beat the knicks winning fmvp. People also forget when russel beat him in 69 wilt got injured in game 7 a game they lost by just two points with healthy wilt they win that chip .
Plus his coach refused 2 put him back in the game they still win wit a injured wilt dum ass coach sold his team
That 69 where west got absolutely turned into god mode just to catch up vs the Celtics
Same game, Sam Jones fouled out, almost all Celtics guys have 5 fouls yeah
Bro woke up and decided to hate 😂
Generational crash out 😂😂
Donovan officially lost his ball knowledge card
Nah, Donovan is smoking on this one💀
this the most serious i've seen don
I don’t mind his rant/opinion with Wilt’s career, but the fact that he had Isaiah Thomas over Wilt was a crazy take 😅
Been watching some stories about Wilt and Bill Russell, collected from newspapers at the time and witnesses that knew them. Before Wilt went to the Lakers, his team owner had the whole offense run through Wilt so that Wilt's gaudy numbers would sell more tickets. Wilt was a talent who was maximized for revenues. Wilt's first season with the Lakers (1968-1969) he was on a superteam with Jerry West and Elgin Baylor. The Lakers owner guaranteed publicly that the Lakers would win the 1969 Finals and in that Finals game 7 he set up the whole arena with props to celebrate the Lakers win. Bill Russell took personal offense and said to the owner "Those balloons are staying the **** up!" Celtics won that game!
Wilt still had amazing stats but the fact that Bill Russell's competitiveness and drive to win with a deep team allowed him to beat a Lakers superteam tells me Bill was a more impactful player and knew how to win beyond what the limited stats of that era say.
they wanted him to take lots of shots becasue the rest of the team had one of the shi***est fg percentages of all time, wilt made up for it
super team lol... Baylor was old and tired at that point and West was way past his prime.
What better could he have done in his era?
Don't choke away 1969 Finals by having 3 single digit scoring games LMAO
Don is ignoring the fact that Wilt got a ring in 67 and they beat Bill Russell 4-1 in that series.
Wow… 1 time, you can’t deny what don said because it’s the truth and sometimes the truth hurts
@@i_dont_know_ball he acted like he won only one ring with the lakers
Dirk lead a team that swept the Back to Back Lakers & LeBron, Wade and Bosh at the Heat. That's more impressive than Wilt beating the 1967 Celtics. When Wilt joined West & Baylor what happened, Wilt averaged 12PPG, cost them the ring as they lost by 3 points, his own teammate won FMVP in a losing effort, that's how much Wilt choked
@@netkonesto I can name 20 players better all time than wilt
@@Danny_SE11 the thing was wilt was forced by coaches to not score
This is one of the best basketball videos I've ever seen, one of the funniest too
don high as shit 🤣 love yall videos tho
Let's go over this. Against Bill Russell, Wilt averaged 28 and 25. In the playoffs, Wilt played insanely well but his teammates couldn't compare. In 1967, he averaged a triple double against Bill Russell and went on to win the championship. In 1962, Game 7 was decided by one point. In 1964, Wilt averaged 30 and 20. His teammates were of little help against the star-studded Celtics. In 1965, Wilt scores the last 10 points for his team and they have a chance to win in Game 7 but John Havlicek steals the ball to win the game. 1968 and 1969 are the only years that can really be held against him. In 1968, he averaged 15 points over the last two games as the Celtics came back from down 3-1. In 1969, he struggled the whole series after he took a backseat for the Lakers. In Game 7, he got injured with 5 minutes left and his coach(who he had problems with) refused to put him back in with 2 minutes to go and down 1.
you can absolutely hold 62 and 65 against him, more so 62. He only took 15 shots. The next lowest that playoff run was 24. Pretty sure that was actually the lowest of the entire year as well.
Stop overrating wilt he wasn’t a team player that’s why he has 2 rings and Russell has 2 not because of Russell teammates its because russell was one of if not the greatest team player of all time and defensive wins championships not offence
FAKE NEWS!!! This guy clearly don't know ball. Wilt Chamberlain ended the Celtics 8 year championship run while he was playing for the Sixers in 66-67 (ECF). Won the title that same year at 30 yrs old after beating all time great center Nate Thurman, HOF Rick Barry and the Warriors in the Finals. Won another title with Jerry West later in his career at 35 yrs old and won finals MVP over West in that series. He was that good. Ppl forget the Celtics at the time we're loaded with talent. It wasn't Russell vs Wilt. Wilt only had Greer as an all-star teammate. Those Celtics teams were more stacked than the Warriors with KD were. Deepest team in NBA history. Wilt could do it all on the court. He just might be the GOAT. Won 7 scoring titles, 11 rebounding titles and the only center to win the assist title in 67-68. Led the league in field goal percentage 9 times! They did not officially count blocks till 73 but based on 100+ games of data recorded, Wilt averaged an all-time high 8.8 blocks per game. He was a walking triple double. He's number 1 all time in double doubles and holds over 65 NBA records by himself. Only man to put up a quintuple double in a game(54 PTS, 32 REB, 14 AST, 24 BLK & 11 STL). He was the best offensive player at the time and up there with Bill Russell as the best defender. Don't listen to these kids y'all. They have no clue on who they're speaking on.
Truly the greatest rant of all time
Don needs to watch “top 5 reasons why you can’t blame wilt chamberlain for not beating bill Russell”

Wilt was bum
@tundraboy6498 stupid response since it not true
he had a point though u can't be the top 10 if he only have good resume in regular season like dropping 50 a game then not gonna win in that same season
Hold up, he’s kind of cooking though
Dude what are you talking about how russel dominated wilt. Whenever they played wilt would put up far better stats and would get the best of russel. It’s not wilts fault that he had no help and russel had 5 all stars on his team. And do we forget that Russel and wilt played in the same era. If wilts scoring for his era was getting disregarded because there was no competition then we should disregard bill russels rings. Russel is top 10 but no doubt and no discussion needed wilt is top 5 and it is not even close.
Dude on the right is wrong on many things...wilt didn't win his first ring on LA...he avg near 30pts 30 rbs vs bill over his career....plus he's without doubt the best athlete ever
This has to be the best Donovan Rant of all time
Wilt was actually a better player but was on worse teams. Anyways Both are extremely overrated
Both underrated but Bill had the better team by a lot. Wilt the true Goat of people with larger heads and IQs higher than 80 lol.
He is 100% right
Everything he said in the video was straight wrong.

Crazy the man has 2 championships and still considered a loser. Is KD a loser as well? 🤔
He made the 100 points. Just that his teammates kept feeding him the ball and he got fouled alot as well. After a while i believe it felt like he was just shooting free throws that game
th-cam.com/video/ik1vSX-3szc/w-d-xo.html
Don does have a few valid points. Yes, Wilt's scoring is overrated. Yes, he failed time after time (apart from 1967 where he AVERAGED a triple double on Russell) to beat Russell, often under performing in vital games. But bringing up off the court stuff, questioning whether FOUR THOUSAND PEOPLE have lied for 60 years, and acting like he's not even within the top 15 is ridiculous

Don't let these guys fool you. Out of all the hall of famers that played during the days of bill Russell's Celtics, only Wilt Chamberlain beat them in 67' . No other team conquered Boston during that time. Bill Russell's Boston Celtics had immortal teams. And wilt Chamberlain is the only player to best them
wilt won a ring with the 76ers.
Its a very gd hot take...
But he played for that era if he played in this generation he would shoot better shots and practise shooting
Wilt cooked Bill Russell every time they faced off in the playoffs, the Celtics were just a better team
Wilt had below average FG% when guarded by Russell
@@KaguyaShinomiya-be5rg Wilt scored 62 against Russell and had 55 rebounds against him.
Bill Russell had hall of famers
Wilt joined Jerry West and Elgin Baylor and still couldn't get over the hump. When he did won he was the 5th leading scorer
@@KaguyaShinomiya-be5rg lakers won the title after baylor retired midseason
@@KaguyaShinomiya-be5rg So what you obviously know nothing about the history of basketball. Wilt was told to pass and not shoot after only his first 6 years in the NBA at this stage of his career he was asked to rebound pass and block so what does his scoring have to do with it. He was not even an option to score on the Lakers only if he had no other option and only then was he asked to score. Kareem was the main guy for the Bucks on offence that why when people point out Kareem scored more in their matchups is a moot point it is not apples to apples and an unfair comparison but as I am learning when it comes to Wilt he was so great that around every corner is some idiot trying to downplay his greatness pretty pathetic.
This is the same as saying Curry is better than LeBron because he won more vs him. Bill played with 5 HOF and Wilt was not exposed, he had no help. You also can't compare eras, Wilt dominated his and with today's modern techniques and nutrition, Wilt will dominate more.
Wilt Chamberlain is my goat. Stop it. Gary Paton Joel embiid AND KOBE thought he was the goat! Tons of facts about him prove it.Everytime someone roast wilt I type a essay but I’m not doing that anymore. Do your actual research. Also Bill Russel is the best defender ever sorry. Not just going of just the average 50 and 100 points. Blocked Kareem’s skyhook 2 times also.
Okay and dr j has has tiny arichbald in his top 10, what facts he had great teams and only won two rings his cheeks got clapped by bill russel he did block the skyhook but that's doesmt mean anything because kareem usually won those games, I respect your opinion and I agree that wilt is a goat candidate but you also have to consider criticism every goat has it
I mean let’s be real half those guys wouldn’t even be able to play 80+ games and over 40min a game even with all the advancements… that’s why wilt is top 10 and boarderline top 5
I wouldn't think twice about picking Wade before Wilt in a pick-up game.
Then they laugh at Bob Cousy which tells me they never even watched a three minute video on how damn good he was. It also means these casuals never considered that 60s players didn’t dribble the way players do today because travels, carries, and charges were all called extremely strict back then. Every dribble move, every player’s “bag” today would get them turnover after turnover in the 60s. Bad take
These casuals are borderline mentally challenged so I feel sorry for them as they do not know any better. Hopefully, they will gain some wisdom when they grow up and hopefully stay out of prison.
