@@dimitrisfarmakis7572where are you getting this information? 🤣 He threw it with both hands?! Like his massive hand couldn't handle a shot put. You're funny
Most don't realize just how good Wilt rreally was. In a game on March 18, 1968...he had an unofficial quintuple double, since they didn't count steals and blocks at the time. In that game he had 53 points, 32 rebounds, 14 assists, 11 steals and 24 blocks!!! GOAT.
@@BradTaylor-k2e If that's how you want to call Elgin Baylor and Jerry West, sure. He got his quintuple against the Lakers led by Mr. Inside and Mr. Outside, with an average player height of 6'5". Mel Counts, their 7' center had already won two rings in 65 and 66. This Lakers team would get into the '68 Playoffs, beat the Bulls in 5 games, sweep the Warriors in 4 before losing the Finals to the Russell-led Celtics in 6 games with a point differential of only 9 points.
I started watching Wilt play in 1968. I can still remember a nationally televised game on Christmas Day that year where he blocked 23 shots. He was my favorite player to watch back then and is still the greatest player I ever watched. RIP Wilt … you are greatly missed.
I can't tell if Wilt's normal handshake is just so abnormally strong, or was Shaq's reaction because Wilt intentionally gave Shaq a power handshake. Some guys do that, they like to show off how manly they are to other men and practically tear your arm off. I know an old man that does it, he's nearly 80 years old but likes to give power hand shakes. So it's hard to tell if Shaq's reaction was "bro, do you really need to give an unnecessary handshake like that!?" Would Wilt shake the hand of non-NBA players like that?
@@mitchelll3879 Shaq only got fat from 2004 and after or so, before that he was a beast of muscle. This clip is from the 90s, and Shaq was lean skinny guy.
A 25 YEAR OLD WILT VERSUS A 25 YEAR OLD MICHAEL JORDAN IS A COMEDY SHOW! WILT WAS FASTER THAN JORDAN, MUCH LONGER AND JUMPED HIGHER AND 3X AS STRONG! HE WOULD HAVE BLOCKED EVERYTHING THAT JORDAN WOULD HAVE TRIED. IN A GAME OF 100, WILT 100 JORDAN 40!
People tend to equate Shaq’s size (weight - over weight he was) to strength. There are a lot of big (fat) guys out there that are not necessarily strong. Don’t get me wrong, Shaq was big and strong, but not freakishly strong like Wilt. His bull rush style of play would not have been allowed back in the 60’s. Wilt was just blessed with an unequaled combination of athleticism, agility, strength, stamina, quickness and strength! Unfortunately TV was not prevalent back in the 60s so much of Wilt’s accomplishments have no video footage. He is similar to Ruth in being an anomaly that is hard to fathom due to not a lot of video.
In 1981 was working the door at the Blue Water Cafe on Waikiki. I was used to seeing huge people since there are plenty of professional athletes who would come to Hawaii on vacation as well as some really big Hawaiians and Samoans who worked as bouncers in the clubs. Wilt walked in one night and I basically had to reprogram myself to what I had always thought of as being really big. I shook his hand and remember that he seemed to cradle my hand like an adult might do to keep from hurting a child. I had always thought of myself as being pretty strong because I pretty much lived in the gym back then. I'll never forget how I went from feeling strong to feeling almost powerless when I was next to Wilt.
A friend of mine and I, with some lady friends, were in a restaurant on the Wharf in 1968 in SF when Wilt walked in and sat at the next table. Sitting down he looked like a really strong guy of maybe 6'6". He was so well proportioned you could not believe it when he stood up. We said hello and he was extremely polite and shook our hands and I think he could have wrapped his hand twice around mine. He then left with the three gorgeous ladies that accompanied him. Saw Russell two weeks later at Cala foods in Berkeley.
Who took 28 minutes to do it, according to an observer! Wilt would have learned the basic technique of arm wrestling and been a much better competitive opponent...
Jim Brown was friends with Angelo Dundee. He thought he could whump Ali and wanted to fight him. Ali saw Jim in the park and said "so I hear you think you can whump me? I want you to try to hit me as hard as you can." Jim swung for the fence for a full minute with Ali dodging every punch. Then like lightning, Ali slaps the hell out of Jim. Jim said....."ok, I get it now".
Love all these clips from former players telling stories! Lots of stuff I'd never seen before and I watch almost EVERY Wilt Chamberlain video that anyone I'm subbed to uploads. Good job digging all this stuff up that I'd never seen before.
If they put his Volleyball games on TV they 100% would have put his lifts on TV. I believe he was even offered to prove them and he cowardly ran away from it. Just like how he ran away from Ali. Dude was a complete fraud.
We helped build Wilt's house in Los Angeles on the top of Mulholland. One day I was delivering large doors that weighed 125 lbs each, when I pulled Wilt was there and asked if he could help me. I was caught off guard, No Mr. Chamberlain, I can do it. He didn't listen to me, he grabbed four of them ( 500 lbs. ) and carried them into the house.
Many people don't realize that Wilt played in an era of great centers, Bill Russell, Willis Reed, Wes Unseld, Nate Thurman, and Kareem just to mention a few! Wilt put up massive numbers against worthy centers!
Wish I knew wilton Norman Chamberlain as a teenager..not the athlete but the person. He died when I was 15 but he's been one of my favorite player besides Kobe and kg but once I learned more about wilt..I was won over

Did you see the video of Wilt shaking Shaq’s and Ewing’s hand? He almost took Shaq’s arm. Not even close. I understand Shaq is big and they couldn’t stop him, but Wilt is in a class by himself.
Im telling you Wilt is the greatest basketball player to ever live. Yall dont know and he has been forgotten by many but that dont mean he wasn't the best. They changed the games rules so wilt wouldnt totally dominate it. Wilt was the first to dunk from the free throw and it wasn't that hard for him. He was ao dominate that they told him he scored to much so he became an assist machine that year. He could have done whatever he wanted. The man scored 100 points. The record of 20k is in question but the fact the conversation is had means he was like modern day genghis khan😂
The most basic fundamental of the game is shooting and he's one of the worst in history. I'm sorry but you're not the greatest basketball player of all time if you can't even shoot.
I have to laugh when people name other people the GOAT and that Wilt only played against small white guys - Russell, Lanier, Reed, Thurmond, Unseld - and he dominated. They have no idea just how great he was.
16 lb. Bowling ball with no holes in it, Wilt would bowl with? So then his life was like Gulliver's travels, havin' fun with all these Lilliputians! What a character.
I never really thought about Chamberlin's strength just his play. I watched him play the LA Lakers in LosAngeles during the mid 60's. He was playing for the San Francisco Warriors and had a fade away bank shot that was unstoppable. When he was on his game his team won that night.
I stood next to Chamberlain at a Laker/Sonics game in Seattle years ago. I was going to ask for an autograph, but I chickened out completely when I saw just how MASSIVE the man was! Now, I'm NO shrimp! 6' 1" & 180lbs. Nobody's called me shorty in a while. He wasn't just tall, he was ENORMOUS! Nothing but a giant muscle, the likes of which I have never seen before or since! An absolute colossus of a human being! Terrifying man!
MJ is what he is because David Stern and NBA Entertainment made him. Wilt was the greatest to play the game bar none. Politics is why Wilt's legacy, by and large, is ignored in comparison to other players.
I pretty much agree with your statement. I also think winning two rings is unfairly used against him. He was clearly better than Russell. I just wanted to ask you about his politics. I wasn’t aware of that.
This fantastic creature is just amazing. I'm a huge fan. When even the BEST defender ever in NBA history had no answers for him, I can only imagine what he'll do with these lollipop centers playing today.
Wilt Chamberlain is the Greatest because the rules change he was physically challenged more than MJ doing his NBA career . Wilt told MJ they changed so many rules that it would make his career MJ don’t even own his own name in it’s been making Billions for Nike him and his kid would never see beside fake news.Bill Russell is the most winning player ever Elementary toHighschool to pros look it up every where Bill went he 🥇
Wilt chamberlain, when he was building his mansion in California. He had some work done by a local artisan for his kitchen and when the deliverymen arrived he helped them unload the vehicle, it took normally four men to move one of these items, it was either wood or stone-work and Wilt picked up two under his arm effortlessly and walked into the house.... in Wilts case he really worked at it....his three school friends talked about Wilt having a three hundred pound dumbbell set in his bedroom at 15 and at 16 Wilt under an assumed name played against full grown adults averaging 40 points a game....
@djo-dji6018 All his teammates are fake? Arnold Schwarzenegger is fake? Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is fake who talks about Wilt being held by multiple basketball players and still dunking!
Love this. When I was around 12 or thirteen years old, my twin brother and 1st cousin were in San Francisco on a trip to California and met Wilt. Not only was he a Giant but a real gentleman.
One of the most amazing experiences in my life was getting to play a few minutes of beach volleyball against Wilt Chamberlin. I grew up watching him play with the Lakers and in the summer of 1976, I went to the beach at Santa Monica. After I was done, I was walking back towards the parking area, and at the first court South of the pier, Wilt was playing with some of his buddies and I stopped to watch the game. I had played a bit of recreational ball, but nothing serious. After I had been watching for a few minutes one of the guys looked at his watch and saw he had to go right then in the middle of the game. That left the sides uneven, so they asked if I wanted to fill in to finish the game. Didn’t have to ask me twice. The other guys were of a size and skill level that suggested they were all pro or college players. I was by far the worst player on that court, but the experience was amazing. First, Wilt could legitimately spike out of sand from mid court with ease. Second, you could tell he was careful with his spikes not to hurt anybody and held back if he was spiking at somebody. When he aimed a spike at an empty spot and really let go, it sounded like a rifle shot. I’m sure if you caught the full force of one on your forearms it could break a bone. I reached for one and it grazed my forearm and gave me a noticeable abrasion. None of the other players were anything close to his power level or jumping ability.
@@FoobasSports It certainly was. In addition to his inhuman physical abilities, I was impressed with his gentlemanly sportsmanship. In addition to his obvious effort not to hurt me or anyone else, as the smallest, weakest player on that court, he could have picked on me and singled me out for easy points, but did not. He treated me with the same "respect" as he did the other players.
If you needed to pick an all around athlete in all of recorded history to represent earth in the Universe Olympics, the clear choice would be Wilt Chamberlain.
Wilt was an extraordinary natural athlete. Few know he could run like a deer: He ran the 440 yd dash (400 meters) in under 50 seconds at Kansas as an undergraduate. A noteworthy feat in the mid 50's, but amazing for someone not on the track team.
I’ve seen other people tell stories about Wilt Chamberlain, and they along with Wilt often embellish stories when you look at the evidence if there is any. The biggest issue I see with Wilt’s stories is there’s rarely any evidence to back it up so you have to take somebody’s word for it. And what I’ve noticed is that when other people tell the same stories the numbers sometimes get bigger.
I've never seen Wilt play, he was before my time, but I believe he was the best and most dominant big man ever, arguably the best basketball player. I saw Jordan so I ride with him tho.
Wilt was probably scared of Killing someone. These stories are Real yet sounds like something from the Trials Hercules . Then there's his Ancient Olympic Mythical Athletic ability
I always said if his bench and 40 time plus vertical and everything else is true we still never seen another player like him it's been plenty LeBrons and shaqs and kobe but nobody built like wilt
On TV I saw him break up a fight by wrapping the other team's fellow up from behind and carrying him to the other end of the court. Other fellow was calmed down by then! AND...Wilt was set for a dunk when the opposing (250 lb.) center decided to foul him instead. He stood face-to-face with Wilt and grabbed both his wrists. WILT CARRIED THE GUY UP TO MAKE THE DUNK. ('Course he probably missed his free throw.)
The GOAT! Led the league in minutes, scoring, rebounds, assists! He has the most 50-point games, and no one is close. A man among men. Even today, he is better than any of these balls carrying all stars!
My dad took me to Warrior games. At a Celtics game, Jim Luscatoff of the Celtics had been all over Wilt, and no fouls were called. You could hear Wilt complain to the refs, he was getting pissed. At one point, Luscatoff is holding Wilt contesting a rebound. Wilt shrugged and tossed Luscatoff from flying from the court into the second row. You could feel the fans' awe at seeing that.
If Mahomes can throw it 80yds at his pro day in college, I have zero doubts with as long of arms as Wilt had that he could throw it 90yds like Walton said.
Stronger than Shaq. Seriously, Wilt was a real life folk hero. I just feel bad, because Wilt just wanted to be loved by the public. And to this day, he isn't appreciated. He would say, "Nobody likes the Giant". He would fuck up Shaq, and Shaq knows this if he has any brains.
All I can think is that if Wilt hadn't pushed himself to play every minute of every game, it would not have stressed his heart so much and he might have lived much longer.
Wilt was the Big 8 high jump champ 3 years running .....back in the days of the scissorlegged jump. ...Just one example of his phenomenal athleticism. He was a first rate sprinter and quarter miler, too. Makes me wonder if he could have gotten his giant body over a pole vault bar. For sure he could handle, at a world class level, all the other decathlon events without even prepping for them!
No he didn't. It was the Big 7 back then and he won it once - with an unimpressive height. You have fallen for the Wilt Track & Field list of exaggerated bullshit. He was no sprinter, his 440yd times were no great and neither was his high jump that great.
Arnold said Wilt could Deadlift 600 pounds and Bench the same weight 600 pounds he ran sprints at Kansas he also had the high jump record at Kansas at the age of 50 could've played for USA VOLLYBALL team
The preponderance of evidence...two or three crazy stories like this would seem ridiculous, but they seem so commonplace, and you hear them from so many individuals who knew Wilt--you'd be an idiot to try and deny them.
Lot of idiots in the comments. Its like a conspiracy or agenda against Wilt.Doesn't make much sense.Part of it is.Jordan or LeBron can't be the goat unless you get rid of Wilt
Has anyone ever matched Wilt Chamberlain's strength in the NBA?

Nowhere close. Ben Wallace was pretty strong, but not to the level of Wilt. Even Shaq wasn't as strong as Wilt.

He did play multiple sports & is in the HOF in 3 of them!
This fantastic creature is just amazing. I'm a huge fan. When even the BEST defender ever in NBA history had no answers for him, I can only imagine what he'll do with these lollipop centers playing today.
@@OdelinSerrano-zu5fo Russell isn't the best defender ever and you're a old coot with dementia
Simply put he is the greatest physical specimen known to have ever walked the face of the Earth
Wilt Chamberlain is the Greatest because the rules change he was physically challenged more than MJ doing his NBA career . Wilt told MJ they changed so many rules that it would make his career MJ don’t even own his own name in it’s been making Billions for Nike him and his kid would never see beside fake news.Bill Russell is the most winning player ever Elementary toHighschool to pros look it up every where Bill went he 🥇
Anyone telling you shaq would dominate Wilt in basketball is laughable
Wilt is the all time super Jayhawk!
Who is the Greatest Of All Time LeBron James or Michael Jordan? I don't know...ask Wilt Chamberlain!
Dad friend played against wilt chamberlain in Philadelphia during hs. Friend was 6'8"
Wilt chamberlain, when he was building his mansion in California. He had some work done by a local artisan for his kitchen and when the deliverymen arrived he helped them unload the vehicle, it took normally four men to move one of these items, it was either wood or stone-work and Wilt picked up two under his arm effortlessly and walked into the house.... in Wilts case he really worked at it....his three school friends talked about Wilt having a three hundred pound dumbbell set in his bedroom at 15 and at 16 Wilt under an assumed name played against full grown adults averaging 40 points a game....
Hilarious fake stories.
@djo-dji6018 All his teammates are fake? Arnold Schwarzenegger is fake? Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is fake who talks about Wilt being held by multiple basketball players and still dunking!
@@djo-dji6018he played against equivalent of farm league baseball basket teams.he got paid and had excellent stats..
@@allistermcginlay6476 And the video is all fake too. Don't forget people's own eyes. Those were also fake.
Another great video, thank you!
Much appreciated 🙏🙏
Shaq WISHES he was Wilt.
Wilt was so great that the NBA implemented rules to make things more fair for the rest of the players!
Love this. When I was around 12 or thirteen years old, my twin brother and 1st cousin were in San Francisco on a trip to California and met Wilt. Not only was he a Giant but a real gentleman.
GOLIATH - I'll never forget the first time I saw him at 5 years old. Glued to the TV I saw a giant of a man.
No you didn't. Trolll
The goat rest in paradise wilt we miss you
whos the goat in Mma
Wilt wasn't just an athlete. Dude was a demigod lol
What a top athlete is to normal people Wilt was to top athletes
Wilt would be scoring 100 a night in today's league.
We love you Bill Walton
Throw it down big fellow
Throw it down 😅
Even MJ feared Wilt's confidence.
I was only going to watch a few seconds. A few seconds later, the entire 10 minute video ended leaving me wanting MORE.
I guess I could do a part 2.
One of the most amazing experiences in my life was getting to play a few minutes of beach volleyball against Wilt Chamberlin. I grew up watching him play with the Lakers and in the summer of 1976, I went to the beach at Santa Monica. After I was done, I was walking back towards the parking area, and at the first court South of the pier, Wilt was playing with some of his buddies and I stopped to watch the game. I had played a bit of recreational ball, but nothing serious. After I had been watching for a few minutes one of the guys looked at his watch and saw he had to go right then in the middle of the game. That left the sides uneven, so they asked if I wanted to fill in to finish the game. Didn’t have to ask me twice. The other guys were of a size and skill level that suggested they were all pro or college players. I was by far the worst player on that court, but the experience was amazing. First, Wilt could legitimately spike out of sand from mid court with ease. Second, you could tell he was careful with his spikes not to hurt anybody and held back if he was spiking at somebody. When he aimed a spike at an empty spot and really let go, it sounded like a rifle shot. I’m sure if you caught the full force of one on your forearms it could break a bone. I reached for one and it grazed my forearm and gave me a noticeable abrasion. None of the other players were anything close to his power level or jumping ability.
What an amazing experience!
@@FoobasSports It certainly was. In addition to his inhuman physical abilities, I was impressed with his gentlemanly sportsmanship. In addition to his obvious effort not to hurt me or anyone else, as the smallest, weakest player on that court, he could have picked on me and singled me out for easy points, but did not. He treated me with the same "respect" as he did the other players.
I was once in a car crash and wilt chamberlain appeared and lifted the car so I could escape. he is truly the strongest
Wilt was a true giant. A real
Giant. A very inteligent man.
Rip, brother.
Andre and Wilt are the two most athletic giants of all time. To be that big, that strong, and that agile is unheard of.
GOATed man of atheletics
If you needed to pick an all around athlete in all of recorded history to represent earth in the Universe Olympics, the clear choice would be Wilt Chamberlain.
What a Colossus. Wouldn't spoil it any other thing 😊
Look how much taller Wilt is than Shaq. Shaq admitted he’s 6’11’. Wilt was 7’1” IIRC
Wilt was an extraordinary natural athlete. Few know he could run like a deer: He ran the 440 yd dash (400 meters) in under 50 seconds at Kansas as an undergraduate. A noteworthy feat in the mid 50's, but amazing for someone not on the track team.
Wilt was fast, he ran the 100yd
dash in 10.9 sec ! That’s just short of impossible, for a 7 footer !!
I’ve seen other people tell stories about Wilt Chamberlain, and they along with Wilt often embellish stories when you look at the evidence if there is any. The biggest issue I see with Wilt’s stories is there’s rarely any evidence to back it up so you have to take somebody’s word for it. And what I’ve noticed is that when other people tell the same stories the numbers sometimes get bigger.
keep dreaming fool and troll. Wilt is the King of both basketball and Volleyball!
Blah,blah,blah
I've never seen Wilt play, he was before my time, but I believe he was the best and most dominant big man ever, arguably the best basketball player. I saw Jordan so I ride with him tho.
Look up "Larry Brown tells a Wilt Chamberlain story." There's a perfect example!
This 🥷🏽 was a cyborg or sum 😭😭
All in the NBA had better be glad wilt was a gentle giant!
Wilt was probably scared of Killing someone. These stories are Real yet sounds like something from the Trials Hercules . Then there's his Ancient Olympic Mythical Athletic ability
Wilt seemed like a nice guy too
I always said if his bench and 40 time plus vertical and everything else is true we still never seen another player like him it's been plenty LeBrons and shaqs and kobe but nobody built like wilt
On TV I saw him break up a fight by wrapping the other team's fellow up from behind and carrying him to the other end of the court. Other fellow was calmed down by then!
AND...Wilt was set for a dunk when the opposing (250 lb.) center decided to foul him instead. He stood face-to-face with Wilt and grabbed both his wrists.
WILT CARRIED THE GUY UP TO MAKE THE DUNK. ('Course he probably missed his free throw.)
Wilt Chamberlain trained Chuck Norris
He's a Bigfoot....him and Andre the giant
The GOAT! Led the league in minutes, scoring, rebounds, assists! He has the most 50-point games, and no one is close.
A man among men. Even today, he is better than any of these balls carrying all stars!
The music as the story of movers pushing a dolly lol... peak workup. Drama summoned from the cosmos.
My dad took me to Warrior games. At a Celtics game, Jim Luscatoff of the Celtics had been all over Wilt, and no fouls were called. You could hear Wilt complain to the refs, he was getting pissed. At one point, Luscatoff is holding Wilt contesting a rebound. Wilt shrugged and tossed Luscatoff from flying from the court into the second row. You could feel the fans' awe at seeing that.
Jungle Jim was no match for Wilt.
If Mahomes can throw it 80yds at his pro day in college, I have zero doubts with as long of arms as Wilt had that he could throw it 90yds like Walton said.
Underhand!!
He was a track athlete so he probably threw it almost like a discus but without the spinning, just used his long a as arm to sling that thing!
Dude made Andre the giant look small
Not really, he was taller by an inch or two. But Andre was much wider
Stronger than Shaq. Seriously, Wilt was a real life folk hero. I just feel bad, because Wilt just wanted to be loved by the public. And to this day, he isn't appreciated. He would say, "Nobody likes the Giant". He would fuck up Shaq, and Shaq knows this if he has any brains.
He knows.
The answer to this question is 100% yes.
I got to see him play in person in the '71 finals. Also in that series Pat Riley and Phil Jackson played against each other.
With all the high tech today this guy would be the black Zeus on earth
The strongest Human to ever grace the earth!
What a silly statement.
@@ngc-fo5teGrace? Like one guy said about Andre the Giants lingering flatulence "Big man, big farts!"
Silly statement indeed
All the Chuck Norris stories are true, only they got the name wrong. The name is Wilt Chamberlain.
Black superman
All I can think is that if Wilt hadn't pushed himself to play every minute of every game, it would not have stressed his heart so much and he might have lived much longer.
That’s cute, but most men like him have heart issues
Rest In Peace big guy
I remember him throwing Kareem jabbar around like a toy rag doll
Wilt blocked his sky hook twice in one possession
Wilt was the Big 8 high jump champ 3 years running .....back in the days of the scissorlegged jump. ...Just one example of his phenomenal athleticism. He was a first rate sprinter and quarter miler, too. Makes me wonder if he could have gotten his giant body over a pole vault bar. For sure he could handle, at a world class level, all the other decathlon events without even prepping for them!
No he didn't. It was the Big 7 back then and he won it once - with an unimpressive height.
You have fallen for the Wilt Track & Field list of exaggerated bullshit. He was no sprinter, his 440yd times were no great and neither was his high jump that great.
You are wrong.
The Big Dipper the best there ever was!
Arnold said Wilt could Deadlift 600 pounds and Bench the same weight 600 pounds he ran sprints at Kansas he also had the high jump record at Kansas at the age of 50 could've played for USA VOLLYBALL team
Yawn gramps
Wilt could dead lift 1000lbs.Why do you guys just type stuff in?I don't get it.
The preponderance of evidence...two or three crazy stories like this would seem ridiculous, but they seem so commonplace, and you hear them from so many individuals who knew Wilt--you'd be an idiot to try and deny them.
Lot of idiots in the comments. Its like a conspiracy or agenda against Wilt.Doesn't make much sense.Part of it is.Jordan or LeBron can't be the goat unless you get rid of Wilt
A lot of idiots in these comments
Awesome….simply awesome.
