Averaging 45 a game, and missing the playoffs when there's not even 10 teams in the league is MADNESS. If Wilt played in the First Take era that discourse would be absolutely despicable.
Best Rusty Buckets essay... EVER! Congrats on a tour de force from someone who watched Wilt play (though, admittedly, near the end of his career -- Wilt and West were my favorite players).
I am really happy with how these documentary essays (or whatever) are shaping out as of the last year. Good job, Rusty! And shout-out to Rudy for sticking with you and to the rest of the newer editorial additions.
Wilt controlled the scoreboard, Russell controlled the court. It’s nearly impossible to see Russell’s MVP quality effect on the game in the box scores, but it’s undeniable if you sit down and watch a game.
Win shares. But yeah as a Celtics fan bill is what you get if you built a leader in a lab. Elite athlete and very skilled as a rebounder defender and passer. He is the definition of a selfless man
Wilt Chamberlain was an excellent talent, and had a Hall of Fame career. But if you take his raw numbers and averages at face value, you’ll likely end up overstating his impact on the basketball court. Execution aside, it could be argued that scoring as much as Wilt did is a sign of a player who had too big a role individually in his team’s offense. And conversely, the ability to succeed around other players and scorers is itself a skill that doesn’t show up a ton on a box score. That’s an ability that Wilt could have illustrated he had if he had been utilized in the most impactful way by a coach. Would’ve been interesting if he had a coach like Alex Hannum for his entire career.
Bruce Lee said it best: “It's like a finger pointing the way to the moon. Don't concentrate on the finger or you will miss all that heavenly glory” In Wilt’s case scoring was his finger!
@@MaxHutchings31 nah, Wilt himself admitted that he played for himself and his stats. Only after so many failures in the playoff that he tried to change his way of playing and as the result, he won his first chip
The idea and mysticism of Wilt Chamberlain is certainly superimposed. It's not just enough to win, you need to win in every facet that's offered too you. And for what it is worth, I still believe Chamberlain being berated in the newspaper headlines day in and day out is not the best holdover for wanting to play winning basketball. And it's almost like his worries were proven right when he won that first ring, which I love how you brought up. "What's the point of choosing a path if they're both wrong?" But in the same sense that many modern NBA fans cherry pick Wilt's statistical marvels to present an almost Grecian level hero in 60s basketball, retractors will hold onto those two rings like he should never be seen in a favorable light, at all. He is a legend, that deserves the criticism, for sure, but I think for the people who do truly appreciate some level of Wilt's game, and a foundation he laid, it's like some mental gymnastics to remember, "Oh yea, Wilt kind of was a loser, in a legacy sense." But hell. Today we still talk about Wilt more than most of the past legends. You've named a Paradox about him. He still remains one of the polarizing figures within American Sports that's ever exist. And he might vaguely be remembered fondly, he's remembered, and that's worth it.
Yeah I get that he played in a weaker era and he lost a lot and wasn’t as efficient as he should have been, but people hate on him way too much. Like it’s sad to see but it is what it is. I can’t think of much more to say so reply and I’ll rebuttal everything I can :)
As someone who’s always been a huge Wilt glazer, this video actually gave me some much needed insight. Still top 10 ever but he might go from 5 on my list to like 7 or 8. The Wilt Paradox is actually essentially why I have Tim Duncan 4th all time. I have no doubt in my mind that Tim Duncan could have averaged 30 numerous times, but the fact he didn’t is what made him so good
The talent disparity between their two teams made it to where Wilt had to thoroughly outplay Russell to even have a 50/50 shot at winning. It seemed as though when Wilt thoroughly outplayed Russell was when Wilt's team won but not all the time and usually it was a close margin. Wilt dropped 24 points, 32 rebounds, 13 assists and blocked 12 shots against Russell in game 1 of the 1967 ECF. And then in game 3 he dropped 20 points 41 rebounds, 9 assists and blocked 5 shots. furthermore, in game 5 he dropped 29 points, 36 rebounds, 13 assists and blocked 7 shots. I dare anyone to find a game of Russell individually dominating Wilt to that degree in the playoffs. Furthermore When Russ played even with Wilt or outplayed Wilt, the Celtics would blow them out. One such example out of many is in Game 4 of the '64 Finals. Wilt beat Russell all the way across the board with 27 points, 38 rebounds, and shot .52.2 from the floor. While Russell had 8 points, 19 rebounds, and shot .33.3 from the floor. Yet, the Celtics still won. There's no way in hell in any game throughout the decade besides 1969 that Wilt would've been able to get away with it if those kind of numbers were flipped in Russell's favour. As the one playoff game out of the 49 they played in. In which Russell just destroyed Wilt on both sides of the ball after he injured his hand in game 2 of the 1960 ecf The Warriors were utterly blown out by over 30 points. www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/196003190BOS.html
On the rings vs stats I am definitely team rings. Championships are the result of accumulating stats, while accumulating stats doesn't necessarily lead to winning. MJ is 100% a more modern, lesser extreme version of Wilt. Some years back I heard an anecdote in which Phil Jackson basically said the same thing as Alex Hannum did with Wilt about playing more team oriented basketball. I think it says more about Wilt's situation that his old numbers were 2K MyLeague numbers on the lowest difficulty than anything else, because his new statline was far from pedestrian. Most players would still sign for those PPG averages as a career.
The biggest loser seems rough he won two titles if anything his stats were inflated sure but that era almost nobody won chips outside of the Celtics and lakers until bill retired.
Might want to check on that. Only the 76er's won during the Celtics time. The Lakers won before then and after. As for his stats being inflated why is just his inflated? No one else was putting up crazy numbers like him. I do agree with you that calling him the biggest loser is well beyond rough. Sure is funny how all these deep dive videos never seem to mention Wilt and other would bet on their games finals included according to the FBI. No clue who he put his money on but it's possible his losing was really him winning. Idk.
23:40 while we are on the subject, I would like to do a little bit of course correction. 1. Wilt Chamberlain was besties with the Republican party and Nixon! Close aides at that time have stated that Wilt pretty much knew every Republican party bigwig. Which tells us that he was not in a dark place. 2. MLK Jr.'s assassination was not CIA's work, it was the FBI's.
He evolved under a new coach when he moved teams, that changed his way of thinking and evolved their game. That's why his statistics got less impressive later, because he was playing more like a pass first guard.
fun fact: wilt was still considered a loser well into the seventies, because a certain player named kareem abdul-jabbar arrived and won a championship two years into his career as a basketball player. the popular narrative was “omg look how good kareem is, who even needs wilt!” also, the fact that he was considered a loser bothered him, really heavily. he haaaated it. kinda like kd tbh
I gotta say. I was worried for this one, but this was good. Really appreciate the Luka Tatum comparison at the end. My only critique is I don't think it's fair to say Wilt underperformed against Boston. Having only a 20% drop in scoring output when you are facing the league's best defender every game is probably better than most would perform.
Just a reminder that the radio broadcast for Wilt's 100 point game is on UA-cam, and there is ZERO reason for the NBA to lie for an African American in the 60s
It’s kinda crazy how Michael Jordan also found his greatest success when he passed the ball and allowed his teammates to touch the ball more. I feel this even ties back to the original rules and practices set when basketball was invented. Even though many of the original rules James Naismith are no longer applicable to the modern game of basketball, the greatest fundamental rule exists. To be successful you must throw to ball to other people to get it in the hoop to win the game. I’m sure Dr. Naismith would have loved the message of this video on how you measure success in modern day basketball.
That fundamental rule was because there was no dribbling so the only way to move the ball was to pass. As for the idea of them having more success when they passed more. It's just my personal theory that in both cases Wilt and Jordan that by passing more it kept teammates engaged. Instead of them basically just being fans and watching. That the best I got. Because logic tells me if your best scorer is also your most efficient and has the highest shooting % wouldn't you want him shooting? Yet some how Wilt won when the main scorer was shooting 38% and Wilt was 56% but they didn't want Wilt shooting. I would at least have Wilt as a scorer but no they just wanted him to focus on defense. At least with Jordan they kept him as the main scoring option.
Love the vid, the best since the Durant manifesto to me. BUT I'll be the annoying dipshit nonetheless: please once you've finished writing the script, CTRL+F "less shots" -> replace all with "fewer shots". I was surprised when you first said *fewer shots* only to be even more surprised when you used less in a matter of minutes. Gave me whiplash when you used both within a matter of seconds lol. Now that being annoying is done with, again, lovely vid, will rewatch it a bunch and then some. Cheers lad
I gotta admit, when Kobe scored 81, it was absolutely sick to watch. But he was a better player, and the Lakers a vastly better team, when Pau joined and Kobe focused less on being the only scorer and worked better within the system. Wilt took too long to come to the same conclusion.
that warriors rockets series is a bad example. it wasn't because of CP3 going down that they lost. game 7 they went 7-44 from 3. ariza went 0-12 in 42 minutes. they missed 23 3 pointers in a row and lost by 9. biggest choke in nba history. they shoulda beat the warriors and then swept the cavs.
I swear, Wilt is just a pre historic Westbrook. If you put Russ in wilts era he would've done the same thing that wilt did and if you out Wilt in tosay's game he's just another Hassan Whiteside
You ever seen that MF Babe Ruth? No way he hit a ball 575. These historical "never to be broke again" records seem so fake. However, I think someone can score over 100, if the game goes OT and there already on a 2022 Dmitch or Dame 70pt game.
@rustybuckets What you failed to understand is that Wilt was told to play like this by his coaches. It is wrong to criticize him for doing exactly what his coach sayed. You also seem to have no idea about various injuries to Wilt and his teammates. Wilt was injured badly in 1960 against the celtics as well as other occasions.
Not every old head thinks wilt is a god they have an immense respect for him as should everybody but nobody who says he's easily the single greatest player to walk the earth should be taken seriously
Incredible player elite athlete and legend. But his stats were heavily inflated by pace and he was very self centered. He was an elite passer when he was asked to be one. He played his best basketball when he was playing a defensive anchor role who could pass at an all time great level and scoring when he didn't have to force it. He really could have won a lot more if he put his ego to the side like Bill and elevating his team instead of stroking his own ego constantly
Hey homie, can you do me a favor? I know you're reading off of a teleprompter, but if you could just blink occasionally, it'd make me feel much less like I'm about to be murdered
Why don't you compare the All-NBA players that Russell played with compared to Wilt in the years they shared in the NBA as it is not even close? 1959 3 1st team All NBA players Russell, Cousy, and Sharman...when else has that ever happened? 1960 Cousy 1st team All NBA, Russell, Sharman 2nd team 1961 Cousy 1st team All NBA, Russell, Heinsohn 2nd team 1962 Cousy, Russell, Heinsohn 2nd team All NBA... 4 Celtics made the All-Star Team Cousy, Russell, Heinsohn, and Jones 1963 Russell 1st team All NBA, Cousy, Heinsohn 2nd team...Havlicek Rookie team 1964 Havlicek, Russell, Heinsohn All NBA 2nd team.... Sam Jones also made the All-Star team 1965 Russell 1st team, Sam Jones 2nd team 1966 Russell, Jones, Havlicek All NBA 2nd team 1967 Russell, Jones All NBA 2nd team 1968 Russell, Havlicek All NBA 2nd team 1969 Havlicek All NBA 2nd team Now if you compare that to Wilt's supporting cast for the first 6 years of his career it destroys it As Wilt had zero All NBA teammates with the Warriors from 1959 to 1965. And only one other All NBA teammate in Hal Greer from 1965 to 1968 with the 76ers.

Bro love your take on this! Would love to see you do it for other players in this type of style.
It is wild that if Wilt Chamberlain was a little more selfless in his career the history of the NBA would be completely different.
Wilt's coach told him to play that way. It would've been selfish to not listen to his coach.
@MaxHutchings31 That is irrelevant to my statement.

Sir, it’s Dirk’s gravity that brought the phrase into play.
Not sure how true that truly is, but you can’t deny that Wilt did have gravity..even if you have to look back with more modern eyes.

We really cant say that Bill Russell didn't have more help. The biggest help was Red Aurbach.
We got a rusty buckets wilt chamberlain video before Wilts 100 point game💀💀💀
1:58. Ah so history is LeRepeating itself.
Sped you straight sped
This better reaffirm Bill Russell's dominance over wilt
Stat merchant, serial loser, terrible attitude. I don’t want to see him higher than Bill on any of these “all-time” lists anymore.
Having not seen the video, i can confidently say that you're wrong about Wilt scoring 100 touchdowns.
