The scary part is that it doesn't look like Wilt was even trying to knock him out of the way like that. He just looks like he was establishing his position and the incidental contact drove Oscar back 12 feet against his will.

+Cemal7791 wilt in his twilight years was stronger than Shaq in his prime the difference is Wilt never played using his strength he was just too physically imposing
not arguable...there's only anecdotal stuff, and everyone who played with Wilt said/says Wilt was thw strongest. KC Jones claims Wilt stopped/picked him up when he was breaking full tilt to the hole with one arm, and it actually scared KC, who said his legs were shaky while taking his foul shots. He'd never encountered anything like that before. Wilt was TOO big and TOO strong, so much so it effected his head and his game, which was way too much finesse. It's like Wilt was his own kryptonite, containing himself all the time. Which is why you hear all those, 'And then Wilt got mad' stories...this is what I don't like about Wilt, other guys play driven and mad all the time, what I've watched and heard, Wilt did not. They tweaked the rules to keep him from making the league a joke[50PPG, 48+ minutes averaged in a season[overtime games], so maybe that's why he played like he did, but him taking 12 foot turnaround jumpers and spending so much time away from the basket is not playing to his strengths[no pun intended]
Wilt was freakishly strong. He was too strong even for his size. He trained and played sports his whole life and this is how I guess he developed insane strength. I guess it was his tendons and bones. He was just unbelievably strong.
also due to his size he would produce more natural testosterone and growth hormone than a normal sized person, which would significantly contribute to his strength, speed, agility, etc...
Every generation flopped. These days, it is more flagrant with 150 replays on every angle possible. That was a good flop BTW, not LeBronesque, but still ;)
***** there's a difference between outright flopping and trying to get a call...what I meant was the old timers never expected to get the call on a modern-style 'you breathed on me, I fall over' flop, so they didn't try my bad. I didn't spell out what I meant all eras worked the officials to blow the whistle in their favor...that only stands to reason...players always take any edge they can get...sports is Darwinian that way, survival of the fittest, dog-eat-dog, no quarter, it takes a village---wait, scaratch that last cliche....
@@david.tousignant20 I dont think u know the definition of a flop First of all if he were flipping he would have fell backwards on his ass not kept his balance Not a very good eye for basketball I see
I think Wilt often went through the motions, and did not have the every night intensity of Russel. As to the Reed thing, Wilt could have broke him if he wanted, but I believe did not want to look like the bad guy. If you watch Wilt against Russel and Jabbar, you will see a far more intense Wilt, when he was truly challenged, especially by Jabbar. I also believe that Wilt had other interests and at times just went through the paces, not truly putting out much. I also believe, based on the recent writtings of a fellow NBA center who knew Wilt well, that Wilt was often not healthy, originating from a serious jaw mouth injury in a game early in his NBA career caused from a vicious elbow, and intentional at that, and I believe the heart problem that followed that smash had a real affect on his play, the same problem that would kill him in his very early 60's. Wilt is truly legendary, a one and only, basketballs Babe Ruth. Much to his credit Wilt was a man that never brought any scandal upon his family name, a great accomplishment in and of itself.
Nobody in the history of basketball had the every night intensity of Russel that was his best asset, stamina and endurance Add other worldly speed for a 6 10 guy and uncanny defensive instincts, and u have a top 5 player of all time My list 1 wilt 2. Magic johnson 3. Kareem 4. Jordan 5 russel 6 bird 7 Baylor 8 oscar Robinson 9 shaq 10 hakeem
@@meredithleavitt5815 I am sure many here know that Red Auerbach would ask Bill Russell if he threw up before a game. When he did, Auerbach was content.
After Wilt blew out his patellar tendon in a knee in '69, he was never quite the same player and was never quite as mobile until he rehabbed that knee playing beach volleyball in the sand after he retired. However, Wilt put up ridiculous stats throughout his career so he had to give a certain level of effort to do that. In the first half of his career, Wilt was more energetic and hustled more throughout the season. But as he aged and was still playing big minutes, Wilt could go into cruise control especially during blowouts and in the last few years of his career. The vicious elbow was courtesy of Clyde Lovelette and Wilt promptly knocked him out cold with a single jab. It did bother Wilt and within a year of getting a root canal, Wilt died.
@@jingqi9106 The serious damage to Wilt's jaw and mouth-teeth, caused an infection to travel to his heart and this led to infection in the heart tissue, kept under wraps, for the rest of his life, and it finally killed him. He was often put on a drip to fight the infection, and this took place his entire life. His career would have been so much better if he had not faced this health problem almost his entire career. Was the hit on Wilt by 3 players,,all White guys planned,,?,,we will never know,,but some think.....
Wilt got his bench press up to 500 pounds. Shaq could only bench about 450, probably less now. When Wilt was 59 years old, he was STILL able to bench 465, which is more that Shaq has ever been able to do. Wilt was 63 when he died. He was 276 lbs.
Wilt chamberlain according to his friends had weights in his bedroom from a very young age, which he practiced with! He was an accomplished athlete because he worked to make himself so, yes he had the attributes but he challenged himself from a very young age, he was playing against grown men before he was even 16 years old and he often played against a stacked deck when he played against Elgin Baylor at Baylor’s homecourt! Wilt was a legendary sportsman because he perfected his craft, finesse was 90% of his game from a basketball point of view he had an arsenal of skills but he always kept himself in great shape, from testing him self against other great sportsmen, in American football, volleyball etc, etc! What he was upset about continuously was they pointed out flaws in his game like no other player in the nba, asking him about Kareem's signature move! Yet in real terms wilts fadaway was equally unstoppable, or his finger-roll, or hook shot, they made him a villain of the piece forgetting that he wanted to play a very similar game to Bill Russell but like throughout his career he did what his managers asked him to do, he comfortably became the most dominate force in basketball history and his numbers prove it! They will eventually beat all his records but it will be by shifting the goal posts, probably creating a 4 point shot or something equally ridiculous?
My idol the Big O , I loved those games Lakers bucks , watched game bucks ended Lakers winning streak at 33 Hall of famers all over Kareem, Oscar , West , Chamberlain awesome
Wilt was the strongest and greatest athlete to ever live he bench pressed 600 pounds and ran 100 meters in 9.9 seconds, he was a living demigod. Oh yeah he was a genius mentally and the greatest lady's man to ever touch the Earth. (20K women)
He ran a 9.9 russel ran a 9.8 Everyone knows this In the one meet where they went head to head Russel ran a 10.5 n wilt a 10.8 Wilt and Russel also were national high jump champions in college Learn ur shit
That was a deliberate foul by the GOAT, Wilt. As a defensive play so that his teammate could score the hoop. Wilt knocked Oscar pit of hos defensive play.
Oscar stopped and turned, abruptly, in front of Wilt, who had a good head of steam. He was probably trying to draw an, off the ball, offensive foul. Bad idea. As everybody saw here, Wilt just casually flicked him from the doll head, to past the base line. Imagine Wilt as a split end, or running back, or a 7 foot, very strong, very fast, quarterback, with great hands. He could probably pass a football 70 to 80 yards, or drill a short to medium pass, without much trouble.
If anyone else done it instead of wilt it would have been a charge BC they would have used there hands not there body and if wilt did what shaq did it was a charge so it is harder to get a charge now then it was in the 1960's
The rules were different then. Dribbling was called way tighter, traveling was too...Harden or Luka step backs would have been called traveling then for sure. It was way more physical then, there was aggressive hand checking, and offensive foul calls were tighter, almost ridiculous by today's standards. There was also no 3 point line so the spacing was a lot different. It was a different game and era.
I do not think Oscar took another charge from Wilt again. Once is enough, Oscar looks like he was hit by a cement truck. Or, on the other hand, this maybe the origin of the "flop"...
Are you people blind????? Wilt swinged O with the bow right before he ran into him, although Robertson protected himself he still couldn't stand his ground which is absolutely normal compared to wilt's size, but the main point is he threw him off balance with that blow upon impact and oscar recollected his balance by running, which is a huge testament to the toughness of the 60's players like Oscar here.
@@mysterygamermgclues8864 he wasn’t 300 in this and that was a jog😂. Also I get him being pushed back but not him completely changing directions and running to narnia
If Wilt had played against Shaq there wouldn't have been the running over people Shaq did so much. Wilt would have gotten pissed and Shaq would have learned real fast. Not here little boy.
Oscar had just turned around, was upright and basically flat-footed. Would have been knocked off balance by any sizable player. In such a case his weight worked against him. If his feet were set, holding his weight - *that* would have been an interesting collision. Not to take away from Wilt - so tremendously strong, has so many demos of his strength this one is irrelevant.
He tried to have a call in his favor. You can see it at full speed... watch where the force were applied to Oscar's body, and now watch where Oscar went after the contact.
If he were flipping he wouldve fallen on his ass to draw attention Idk how anyone could think hed flopping u must not b a have a very good eye or understanding of these things
Didn't have to. In the regular season Wilt defensively held Kareem's shooting percentage down to .463 when Kareem was averaging .557 against the rest of the league during those years. And then over two playoff meetings he holds him down to .466 overall. They faced off in 11 playoff games and Wilt outplayed Kareem in 7 of them and this was a much older Wilt coming off knee surgery.
More Wilt "Superman" crap. There are lots of videos of guys of all sizes pushing other guys just like that, but without any comments about "strongest man ever"...
