- In this project I'm compiling Wilt's most amazing tales AND his most amazing highlights into one ultimate highlight / documentary - there is no deadline, there is no estimated time of completion - I'll just re-upload new versions from time to time as I work on it, believe me I have a LOT of Wilt Chamberlain footage to go through to make this project work - just stay tuned and subscribe!
He won the scoring title and rebound title. People said he doesn't pass enough. So he decided the next year to win the assist title. And he did!! As a center.
+vin russo Yeah, it's hilarious that they call him selfish and he's the only center ever to lead the league in assists... Lol.
+Alfredo Di Stéfano Laulhé Wilt was sort of selfish early in his career, he became much more of a team player with the Lakers and that propelled them to 2 championships I believe
Damon Rebelak
I know the story better than you.
+Alfredo Di Stéfano Laulhé didnt show it?
Damon Rebelak
what?
if only blocks were recorded back then this man would have another unbeatable record.
goal tends
Isaiah Daniels Goaltending existed back then...
mastur bee If blocks would've been official back then Wilt & Russell would EASILY be 1 & 2 all time, Hakeem, Kareem, Mutombo would've never came even remotely close to challenging them.
It had to hit the rim first fuck head
+Jake McKeeman Or maybe Nate Thurmond, another great defensive center.
He was blocking Kareem's skyhooks tho...
RIP L'a Capone, and yea wilt 2nd greatest of all time
and i thought it was unblockable
moe No, Wilt was the much better player Bar None
I think he is the only player in all of history that has been able to block that shot....
***** hes still a beast
THE Greatest athlete ever...period!
That body can dominate any era
Yeah, but he had some skill too. Fine fallaway J, passer, defender, not to mention the boards. Wilt didn't have to jam everything (Shaq).
Mick A his free throws lmao
BRBallin1 Wilt was a better athlete than Lebron James. He was an Olympic quality track and field runner
Cj M he was built like lebron but 6 inches taller . Crazy to think about
BRBallin1 ha, knob
To this day the brother still owns 72 nba records. He hasn't played in almost 50 years. Insane
But Wilt wouldn't even have one of those 72 records in today's NBA with competition like Blake Griffin and Draymond Green
Hugh Jass, why not
Because Wilt would wind up a third string scrub with the competitiveness of the NBA today compared to the 1960's and 70's when he played ball
@@hughjass8383 It´s tough to compare different eras, wilt is not the kind of player nba has been looking for in the last couple of years, probably wilt would be a different player playing in today´s game.
@@hughjass8383 bullshit!!!!!
With the type of skill training nba players get today, wilt would be ridiculous... even though he already was
Yeah exactly. Like Babe Ruth.
Dudddeee
No one gets that. I say the same thing to ppl too
You have to also understand how poor his competition was
BATTZ His competition wasn’t weak, that’s what people like you don’t understand, it’s just that Wilt was that much stronger than everybody else. If you had players today or in Jordan’s era play against someone like Wilt, they’d get bodied too.
2:29 I've never seen a centre get back that fast.
Chip yard honestly that shi look abnormal. scared me tbh
@@stermtrooper6049 you realize it's speeded up right?
llpdu94210 if it’s speed up the guy with the ball is slow af
Wilt turned on the jets
had to watch it a few times thats fucking insane
Funny how people say he wouldn't dominate in this era lol. Name me a guy over 7 feet tall who could run as fast as a point guard, had a 50 inch vertical and be able to bench 500 pounds.
zaza pachulia
AK740 he did not have a 50 inch vertical, that is total bs
Robin Kaler 48 inch vertical
maybe 20 inch vertical. Maybe
wuluki00174 He could reach up to 13 feet up...you couldn't do that with a 20 inch vertical if you were 7'10"
1:53 Blocking the sky hook. That’s like slapping Ryu out of a dragon punch.
😂Underrated comment
Who tf is ryu
Bye - Gems google exists
The game of basketball could be played for 1000 more years and some of wilts records would still stand. My favorite: no player in the history of the game has ever averaged 30 points and 20 rebounds for a season. Wilt averaged 30 and 22 over his ENTIRE CAREER
Yup. And since Wilt retired, there's only been 2 seasons where a player averaged at least 25ppg and 15rpg. Only Kareem in 75-76 season and Bob McAdoo in 73-74 season...
Not just any great player could do that. Or even come CLOSE.
Kyle Norheim but the game was much slower pace bk then it's a fact that they are bigger stronger and faster nowadays. Wilt would still b wilt in this era just not as great
Walt Bellamy averaged 32 and 19 in the same era so maybe not 30 and 20 but basically the same
I'm talking about career averages not season. bellamy averaged 20 and 13 for his career so no... not even close
I'm most impressed by Arnold Schwartzeneger talking about Wilts physical strength.
Benching 600 lbs. says all I need to know about how strong he was as a player. Unreal.
Truee
4:15 someone mentions wilt picking them up with one hand like nothing.
That person was Arnold Schwarzenegger
@Vincent NJ no he did say 1 hand
@Vincent NJ he said one hand
Michael Jordan
Lebron James
" Once in a Generation Player "
Wilt Chamberlain
" Once In a Century Player "
There will never be a player like him again
NBA Freak Giannis?
@@lsovls3132 Giannis is 6'11
@@lsovls3132 Giannis doesn't have the strength to even compete. He just has a similar frame with the long arms only a little shorter. No big man since Wilt has had the hops he had at his height to go along with the strength and stamina. Giannis has better handles and free throw shooting ability to go along with passing. Other than that Giannis would be mince meat in the post.
Raph Atrenta Once ever. There will never be another.
I hate that they don't appreciate the great player Wilt was. Goat.
Did i just see him block Kareem's 'UNBLOCKABLE' skyhook?!!!
It would be goaltending in today's game. But he is an amazing player of the GOATs
Once again, Wilt was the exception. Luckily for Kareem, there was only one Wilt. Too bad for rest of the league. Would've been nice to see Abdul-Jabbar learn some variety. Example of what extreme height can do. Wilt did everything.
@thlin, it is like a baseball player hitting a ball 600 feet and landing foul. It still went 600 feet! If Wilt goal tends a ball 13 feet high, the shooter will likely miss his next shot because he will arc it higher to avoid Wilt. That is paint defense!
I think he is the reason why there is goaltending this day.
you saw goal tending if it was todays rules.....
1:44 No player even remotely close to 7 feet has ever had a vertical leap even slightly comparable to that
Giannas has look at clips his head over the rim in that clip of wilt wilt’s head wasn’t even over the rim
Wilt..the only one who could block the sky hook.
+RalfsB Nate Thurmond did but it was only once and he did it from behind as it was coming out of Kareem's hand, Wilt blocked it twice in a row at the apex of she shot arc at the age of 35 having suffered brutal knee injuries that season
RalfsB crZy
RalfsB goaltend
clean blocks
RalfsB Wilt is good looking, Shaq is ugly!
Wilt is the greatest player of all time, he made the game famous. I was always impressed when I seen him play and really enjoyed seeing him play in person. Nobody tops the legendary Wilt Chamberlain
The Greatest of all time
I find it very satisfying to read comments from youngsters here who are seeing this guy for the first time and appreciate how awesome he was. I was fortunate to grow up watching him (I'm 63 now), and while there are still many youngsters who can't accept his greatness at least they've finally gotten to see him. Maybe in time they'll all appreciate what he could do, but even if they don't, in 20 years some kid will be bad-mouthing their icons too like many of the youngsters are bad-mouthing ours today.
You sir belong to same generation as my father, but I believe that Wilt was the greatest bball player ever and probably greatest athlete ever recorded. And I saw like 10 hours of his footages, bar documentary movies.
Greatness isn't measured by time when or place where someone lived, but with achievements someone did.
CalcioEUnico I agree with you on the measure of greatness. Some say the level of competition was inferior, or whatever. But all anyone can do is be the best of their time, and Chamberlain was certainly that. And I've never seen anyone dominate the game like he did. It's not even close. Russell might dominate on defense, or Oscar on offense, but nobody; not Jordan, not Kobe, not Kareem: nobody dominated at both ends like the Dipper did. Ever.
Elgin Baylor and Rick Barry are two other forgotten heroes. People are starting to forget how tough and great Larry Bird was too.
baroh2413 I don't think it's a matter of people forgetting them; those who saw them remember. The problem is that the majority of people, particularly those who access UA-cam, never saw them play. They're too young to have seen them. It's the same with Oscar Robertson, my personal favorite. All they've seen are the few grainy clips available here, which don't do them justice. Baylor was Doctor J before Julius came along. The Big O was, imho, the best point guard ever. And Barry was maybe the best pure shooter ever. We oldtimers remember them, but we're a dying breed. Someday it will be the same with MJ, and 20 years after that, with Lebron. Such is life.
baroh2413 I commend you for having an open mind and being able to rethink your position over time. Pretty rare attribute; and admitting there might be another point of view on this forum is even more rare. There's no question MJ was a great player, but he definitely wasn't the first great player. Thanks for sharing!
It’s funny how when we congratulate all these players for doing something special in a game or season we don’t even think about Wilt cuz he’s already done it way better
He is the best of all time. No one better.
Wilt chamberlain was the best of his time. He set NBA records that'll never be broken.
Without a doubt, the greatest basketball player ever! Nobody is even close. May even be the greatest athlete ever. RIP, Wilt.
He is the greatest player that ever played basketball.
The greatest ever, no doubt
The most disrespected player in NBA history , imo he's the best player of all time . But you hear dudes say he wasn't even the best big man ever let alone player . Such a slap in the face man , he was basically built like lebron James only 6 inches taller .. think about that .
About36GREEKS but he was built stronger than LeBron pound for pound!!
But he had no jump shot unless a triple team pretty much
Shaq Diesel he had a fadeaway. he averaged 50 points a game before.
Definitely bigger than lebron I mean look at the clip when he was in the red phila Jersey he was freakin huge
AirPlayRule i know about his fadeaway but it’s weird how he can make a triple teamed shot even if they put the whole team on him in scrimmage or something he can still make the shot but when wide open he will miss most of the time
I can't believe when i first got into Basketball Kobe, Lebron and Jordan were the names for GOAT. If Wilt isn't the GOAT, he's definitely the god of basketball
MJ - Legend
Bird -Legend
Magic - Legend
WILT CHAMBERLAIN -MYTHIC
Wilt chamberlain - made up exaggerate stories. 20,000 women, bench 600 lbs yet no evidence. No evidence of a lot of his stories just that.... stories.
@@imsljr420 The 20k was exaggarated vut 600 lbs i dont really doubt it.
He is the greatest basketball player. true GOAT!!
After I watch videos of Wilt playing back then. I realized that He is really the GOAT. I think Jordan just lived in a maintream era.
I love Jordan... and have argued all my adult life.. that he is the best ever.... After looking into this guy..... I've been wrong. Holy Smokes!!!!
If humanity had to send its finest specimen against other planets best, we would send our best athlete of all time Wilt.
Wilt Chamberlain is the greatest NBA player of all time
A nice quote:D
"I call Wilt Chamberlain a very honest workman. By that, I mean he always did what his employer wanted. No star athlete has ever given his boss more for the money than Wilt did during his career. Eddie Gottlieb [owner of the Warriors] wanted Wilt to score like no man ever had, so Wilt did. [Alex] Hannum and some of his other coaches wantedhim to pass and play defense, so he did that and he played 48 minutes a night. Those who criticized Wilt -- first for his scoring, then for not scoring more -- really should have criticized his employer."
--Leonard Koppett, Tall Tales (by Terry Pluto) p. 329
The only other star player that had that type of attitude was Tim Duncan. #Facts🏀
Just imagine Shaq trying to do long jump and high jump
😂😂😂😭😭😭
Orlando Magic Shaq could have done it
@@akeemlewin2980 With all due respect to shaq, Hell No.
If Shaq worked out he would be like this maybe stronger
@Mr. Giggles nah
Walt Bellamy had 32 pts and 19 rebs/game in his first season. But in his first game against Chamberlain Bellamy was scoreless after first half with his 9 shots blocked by Wilt. At the end of the game Chamberlain had 51 point, Bellamy 14.
Jordan scored 50 or more points 31 times in his career. Think that's the best of all-time? Chamberlain scored 50 or more points 45 times in one season! That season Chamberlain AVERAGED 50 points (50.4) per game (along with 26 rebounds per game!)!
Wilt Chamberlain would have eaten Mikan, Olajuwon, O'Neal, Robinson, Ewing, Karl Malone, Moses Malone, Barkley, Rodman, Duncan, Garnett, Jordan, Bird, Magic, Bryant, Durant, James and everyone else alive. He is absolutely the greatest, the strongest and the most dominant basketball player of all-time, only blind and ignorant don't see that.
What is most amazing are those 48 minutes a game and still being that productive and never fouling out either. Dude never got tired
The real GOAT
All this talk about whose the GOAT. It's Wilt no discussion
Kevin McPartland Unfortunately his name is nowhere to be found in the discussion. Its truly discusting
@Who Asked what can you do there was bill russel's superteam
@Steve.josiah Aquino mj is starting get overrated that does not mean he's bad but he is overrated. Wilt scored 100 points in a game ,50 points in a season, 55 rebounds against bill russel, and he lead the league in assist as a center
@- Cdawgg - jordan lost vs birds superteam in the beginning of his career. Wilt had to play Bill Russell's superteam his whole career
I don't understand how people can possibly argue that Wilt played in a soft era when guys like Kareem, Bill Russel, and Nate Thurmond were playing him all the time. When it wasn't them, it was entire teams playing dirty and punching him and grabbing him attempting to slow and down and nobody could do it.
+Jwubbz101 JW, these morons are just IGNORANT.
+Jwubbz101 Not soft, since they played before flagrants fouls. But certainly very low skilled league since hall of famers back then could only dribble with one hand. And the shooting back then was just atrocious. To be able to get 50 rebounds a game for one player, there had to be a TON of misses.
Russell was 6'9'...Thurmond couldn't score and Kareem won a championship playing against Wit....However to be fair Wilt also won against Kareem....Thurmond and Russell would come off the bench in today's game....
+freein2339 you sound crazy disrespected the greatest center to ever grace the nba floor
Just ignorant assholes, that's all.
It's humanly amazing to see someone of that size play racket ball, running track...HIGH JUMPING, WHATTTT!!!!
TELL me ONE , JUST ONE that can do that
48 minutes,
Lead the league in assists
I wish I saw Wilt play
A SUPER HUMAN
basketball team: which team are we playing against today
coach: Wilt Chamberlain
Lmao that's an actual quote too
If you don't think Wilt would dominate the NBA right now, your smoking crack
right on flip!
There’s a rule called goal tending now. That would change things
Lisle Moore lots of goaltending in these clips lol I still think wilt could dominate any era though
@@lislemoore1 i don't see goal tending! I see a absolute monster dominating everyone on the court!
1960swilt would block everything in sight including jabbar skyhook shot
That is a big dude. And yet, gentle and loving with everyone.
I wrote a book report about Wilt for school in 1973, I still have that book today
I got that 1973 wilt from a used book store, still have it too
Wilt Chamberlain was arguably THE MOST DOMINATE NBA PLAYER TO EVER TOUCH A BASKETBALL. Him and Bill Russell were two of the greatest players in the 1960s, Russell is the greatest winner in NBA history and Wilt is the greatest player in NBA history.
Anybody can be a legend if they played against a bunch of 5'9 white hobbits.
Wilts career numbers would be no better than Andrew Bynum.
Jerry Wests numbers would be no better than Mike Bibby if he played today.
***** Yeah right:) You clearly don't know how much harder it used to be in the NBA. The ballhadling rules of old timers alone would make today's game impossible. Today's players and players from 80's on are braking foundamental rules all the time. Traveling, palming and carrying is allowed today, which makes ball handling infinitely easier. Wilt would destroy today's league. He would be unstoppable. Absolutely unstoppable. DeAndre Jordan is a physical freak today, well, it doesn't get freakier than young Wilt.
kiikiikhan WHAT!?! that's the dumbest comment ever first Wilt was a big man not a point guard but look at the rules he had that the 80's and 90's and today DON'T have like 3 in the key big men back then could camp out under the paint for as long as they wanted too goaltending was not called back then like it is today players could grab the ball off the rim no three point line so everyone tried to take the close shots alone with almost no goaltending no 3 in the key was the shit for big men and lets not forget there were only 8 TEAMS!!!!!!!!!! short seasons the nba wasn't even big enough to have all the talent the country had to offer you need to do some more research
U guys have to accept it. Wilt was an irrelevant guy who played against HOBBITS
If I put up 100 points in a game against Gary Coleman or Mini Me, that doesn't make me a good playerLOL.
Wilt is just another Robin Lopez playin today. LOL
Jay Buc
You are an infant. There were 3 sec rules in offence. The defensive rules suck now. And nobody would be able to stop Wilt. Back then the paint was clogged and players had to shoot more. And not get rewarded 3 points for making open shots. There was goaltending. On both ends. Wilt wasn't protected by reffs, he was hated by them. Players were allowed to abuse him. Wilt was insanely coordinated, with the loose ballhandling rules of today nobody could stop him. Hell he wouldn't even have to dribble the ball now that they allow million steps. Wilt would get anywhere he wanted with his long legs with 3 let alone 5 steps. Also Wilt would feed on players trying to drive. There was a reason players didn't want to drive when Wilt, Russell and Thurmond were guarding the rim. Also. The seasons were brutal. 8 teams, most of them stacked with the best players in the world. Fucking playoffs all season long. The games were played in harsher conditions, travel was infinitely harder, and the players actually played big minutes. Wilt's stamina and toughness was unparallel. Let alone everything else.

@@kevinflowers463 wilt did have a knee injury tho
Wilt was real---absolutely no BS. As a white man, I looked up to Wilt, not because of his height, but because of my deep appreciation and respect. Muhammad Ali was also another man that touched me in that manner. My life is substantially better because of them. It is one thing to enjoy sports but these gentleman made it something more, something surreal and greatly gratifying. Thanks for the privilege and memorable experiences Wilt.
0:46 this guy is literally breaking his fall with an inch of hay...wtf beast
Exactly I'm in shock
2:05 timeframe is completely insane. Out of everything I've witnessed in my life, I've never saw anyone who could pull that block off while applying grade A defense at the same time. Unbelievable!!!
I vividly remember watching Wilt when I was a youngster and a young man. He was absolutely the most dominant player to walk onto a court. MJ, LeBron, Kobe, Bird, Magic, Shaq, Hakeem, Kareem, they all came way after Wilt (well Kareem was long after Wilt's prime, anyway). I am a huge Celtic fan and I always thought in my mind that Russell had it all over Chamberlain and I wondered why Wilt couldn't win as many titles. Russell was incredible, make no mistake, an athlete way ahead of his time. He once jumped over a dude the way Vince Carter did three and a half decades later except Russell just laid it in softly... but I digress, Chamberlain was a beast and though much of his early one on one competition wasn't nearly the size he was, he was tested by collapsing defenses, guys getting as physical with him like players did later in the 80's when the Celtics and Lakers clotheslined each other for the fun of it. Chamberlain was the best player I ever saw. Mikan was before me, but I see film of him and kind of laugh. Chamberlain was the first big superstar that came out of high school and college with a roar (though his heavily favored college team lost in the NCAA tourney final his sophomore year). He was brilliant to watch. Really without a weakness that he didn't correct -- except shooting foul shots. He developed a fade away jumper later in his career when he was tired of stuffing the ball and players through the hoop. I have loved watching all of the great ones play, but this guy was the best. He just never had as many great players on his teams in a prolonged way. The '67 76er's were stacked with great players, and the Lakers were even more so loaded in '72. If there is any rub at all, it is that those Laker's teams, with an aging Chamberlain, should have won one, maybe two more titles. But really he played a career with less stars around him and with my Celtics with so many HOFers running up and down the floor like madmen. When he had West, Goodrich, Hairston and the like, he won. He will always be the greatest force in NBA history to me.
Wilt is the real 🐐 I won’t doubt it since my childhood
The Superman on 60s. And his physics still one of the best even on today without more scientific training and nutrition. God damn it!
The greatest player ever in my opinion
Lebron is my favourite player, MJ is my idol but I admit and so should all of you that Wilt was the hardest NBA player of all time. With his power, hustle and his wing span he was practically unstoppbale on both offensive and defensive ends. He is the greatest of all.
Greatest athlete of all time.
Yogen Grg Yes indeed my brother.
+Kurt Adams 8888
Indeed, you see how Lebron is like a bully with his size and athleticism? Imagine how much of a bully Wilt would be today, especially if his coach asked him to play using his power to dominate. He played more like a finesse player back then, learning to shoot fadeaways and so on, because back before Wilt came to the league there was a stigma about big/tall guys just being big brutes who couldn't actually play, so Wilt wanted to prove them wrong and show he could do anything that even the smaller guys could do. When he did assert his power back then, he was even more unstoppable.

“I got on an elevator with Wilt Chamberlain, and as the elevator is going down, someone gets on and says, ‘Oh wow, how is the weather up there?’ Wilt spat on the dude and said, ‘It’s Raining!’” -Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
Apple Teck -It was a women not a dude bud
Marcel Dwayne This is a quote straight from Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
It was in his documentary, he got in the elevator and a women ask him the question. The reason why he stated it is raining is because wilt was known for being a promiscuous individual.
Marcel Dwayne The article may have missed quoted Kareem, but I think spitting on a woman is even fucking worse.
Apple Teck -Yeah he didn’t do that. Wilt was never that type of person. He was pulling a game on the women who ask him the question, which is referring to as she is good looking & obvious sexual interest.
No doubt like always. Wilt would be my first fantasy pick.
People who say Shaq would dominate Wilt have no idea. Shaq built his career on playing big and bad. Wilt, well-aware of his physical strength, built his career on NOT trying to play big and bad. In fact, Wilt tried to pull back that image as much as he could. Still, didn't stop him from unintentionally dislocating Gus Johnson's arm on a clean block.
Totally agree, even from this video, he rarely slammed to make sure not hurting his opponent....
Not to mention breaking John Kerr's toe with a dunk.
You're right. Because if you look at how he dealt with Kareem he knew being physical wouldn't work against a highly skilled big so he used his veteran experience and bball IQ to beat him. So he held back a lot.
Shaq would eat that dude up and shit him out.
Wilt played against a bunch of 5'9 hobbits.
We could make the hall of fame if we played ball in the 50s and 60s.
Bill Russel is smaller than Chris Bosh if his prime was today. He wouldn't even Abe. 10 reb
Lmao
***** You need to watch more basketball. Shaq got raped by Hakeem Olajuwon and you think he would handle Wilt? Don't be disrespectful.
Funny how people only heard " Wilt would move Shaq around like a rag doll " what about the 55 rebounds vs BILL RUSSELL or the 26 blocks that weren't even counted back then , Anyone that thinks a center from today or any time for that matter was better than Wilt they're bias af . This dude physically is unmatched by any other player in all of Nba history period
Russel is smaller than Lebron. Have u seen when he hands out the finalsmvp Bill Russel trophy? Russel would get owned by Chris Bosh, same with chamberlain.
They played against 5'9 white hobbits.lmfao
2 of the most overrated athletes in history.
They wouldn't make the D league playing today.
18teams in the league lmao
Oh btw there's no footage of wilts 100 point game because it never happened. It was a myth
SantaClause is more real than that phony story.LOL
*****
In the many photos of them together, Shaq looks somewhat hobbit-like next to even 60-year old Wilt, who was considerably taller and larger-framed except for his belly.
Bill Russell is the exact same barefoot height as Dwight Howard [6-9.5], and although Howard looks pretty studly in his neck and shoulders, he is not really a very good basketball player, unlike Russell, whose basketball IQ was off the charts.
On any current team roster as measured in shoes like is done now, Wilt would be listed as 7-3, and Russell as 7-0.
***** Bill Russell would get owned by Chris Bosh ? you're sadly mistaken bro & there aren't clips from the 100 point game but there is film of Wilt running the floor as fast as the point gaurds he played against, lifting way more than shaq could ever lift, him high jumping heights nobody 7ftr or over should be able to do, dominating Kareem Abdul Jabar, & there was at least 1 7ftr on every team of the 60s & 70s you need to stop listening to the myths & actually do your research
Rilla Frank Hey Wilt!!! Stop picking on those little hobbits LMAO
I got to go take a leak, this guy sucks LOL hobbit bully
BenMasterz23/ I can't reply to comments cause this expensive ass iPad can't do such things... That was a funny ass comment but I have to disagree. Wilt Chamberlain was the most physically gifted athlete of all time and he would obliterate the competition of today. The defense was hard as shit back then and apparently shit can be pretty fucking hard. The defense is smarter today because as time progresses there is bound to be revolution and shit, I mean we aren't cave mans and hunting dinosaurs and shit anymore. Wilt was a Goliath and he was Superman, man. He was 7'1 without shoes, and about 7'3 with them. He was extremely fast and agile for his height. Oh yeah, most "great centers" of the past 20 years are not even seven footers, they are 6'11, etc without shoes. Wilt was bigger, stronger, faster, and more capable. His coordination was off the charts. Don't even get me started on the 100 point game, the 55 rebounds, and 50 points per game season. Put him into today's soft league, and he would kill your favorite bandwagon wannabe MVP Stephen curry. Wilt was Superman. Look up, "Wilt Chamberlain, a real superman" case closed, goodnight
what the heck are you comparing? 7 scoring titles, 9 FG% titles and 11 rebounding titles, 2 championships. still holds 98 NBA records. Shaq 2 scoring titles and NO rebounding titles, NO blocking titles, never averaged over 30 for a season. Wilt played against Kareem, Russell, Gilmore, Thurmond,Hayes, Lanier, Bellamy.
Also nine times leader in minutes played per game 44.5 lifetime!
He also played when there were 9 teams... It gradually expanded a little but his prime was 9 teams in the league
clu4u Right on. Top that, anybody!
And Wilt alosm played against Reed, Cowens, Pettit, and Dukes.
Willis reed, bill walton
He was just a badass. I remember when I was a kid seeing him with the Lakers with that headband in that big goatee he just scared me. I read once he could curl 100 dumbbells like they were nothing. Just awesome.
The 🐐 end of discussion!!
greatest basketball player to ever play the game, cased close
Sebastian Tygsett Totally agree
Sebastian Tygsett in the 60s but not all time

Greatest player in the 'OLD' NBA,that was full of goofy white dudes,and a skill level nowhere near the times of Jordan and Centres like Shaq.
Wilt couldn't shoot for shit.....Jordan's entire skill level against better competition was waaay more complete.Jordan is the GOAT of modern basketball.
Kurt Adams haha..nah more fun to annoy people with hurtful truths.
Wilt would have been dominate playing in any NBA era. Lakers could sure use him now.
Goat status. No he doesn't have 11 rings or even 6 rings but he was from what I see and what I've read he was the most unstoppable player I've ever seen. There was nothing he couldn't do. Lead the league in rebounds, in assists he would feast on the 90's and especially today.
.... and they only gave him a 90 strength raiting in nba 2k20
He threw the 16lb shot put 56' in college!
Is he really bodying Shaq????
@@kejonsmith989 yes sir, he actually weighed 300+ lbs when he played, he listed his bw lower . 23k+ rbs isn't a fake number.
Don't even get me started with his Speed, Quickness and Vertical stats on that game. So disrespectful, his stats should be:
Strength - 99
Speed - 99
Quickness - 97-99
Vertical - 98-99
2k doesn’t respect the 60s legends at all
when people start saying people like wilt couldn't compete in this era I have to laugh. they fail to recognize the obvious. back when wilt was playing , the training methods and equipment was no where near as scientific as today's method. but if wilt had the same training methods and equipment like shaq had, it would only enhance his natural talent. he would more dominant if he had modern nutrition and access to the weight training of this era. nba of old didn't have personal trainers as today. if wilt had the amenities of today, he would be unstoppable, period. a 7 ft. 1 inch man who could high jump 6 ft.8 with old training methods, would high jump close to 7 ft. with modern training.
I'm saying he wouldn't dominate the way he did in the 50s and 60s...The game was much SLOWER and the competition was nothing like it is today.....Wilt played against a 6'9 center in Russell....Can you imagine Wilt playing against a 6'10' point guard...Wilt was great IN HIS DAY ....but that was a half century ago and the game and the players have evolved
Let's use the long jump record as an example. Bob Beaman jumped 29 feet 2 in during the Mexico Olympics. This record stood for over 30 years. He did this without modern sports medicine. Only a small few have come close to long jumping 29 feet. If Beaman had today's training techniques he would be jumping farther. Wilt chamberlain was a natural athlete who high jumped 6 ft 7 inches in college, ran the 440 and long jumped. He played for the Harlem globetrotters before playing in the nba, he challenged Ali to a fight which didn't take place because of Ali s legal problems with the government. After leaving the nba, he played professional volleyball. If he had access to modern training methods he would still be a dominant force. He is in the same category as a jim brown who were natural athletes and who could play in any era. The argument that he played against smaller opponents is laughable because you could say Shaquille O'Neil was dominant because he was much bigger than his opponents. There are a few athletes who could play in any era because of their natural talent. Michael Jordan, wayne Gretzky , are part of that club.
+freein2339 the centers today stink
+Roderick King preach my brother
Wtf are you talking about? Russell was 6'9" barefoot, the same height as Dwight Howard barefoot... The average center today, in shoes, is 6'10"... Wilt would tower over everyone even today. Even standing next to Shaq, he made Shaq look small.
The most dominant basketball player that EVER existed!!
I appreciate this video and it demonstrates how ignorant we are not knowing our history.
The stories about Wilt and watching the film are unreal. He was a FREAK. The most athletically gifted basketball player we've ever seen. To be that Big, fast and Strong is incredible. To play a full 48 mins in 78 games is just wow! Imagine Shaq in elite shape and playing great defense.
Wilt would dominate any era of basketball. If I'm starting a team all-time, I'm taking Wilt #1
Great footage, keep it up, Chamberlain was incredible.
Now I feel like wilt is a really underrated player
0:52 Rip to the person trying to volley that spike
Wilt=🐐
I remember when my dumbass use to think, Shaq was the greatest big ever.
I bet nowadays many youngsters don't even know who this WILT CHAMBERLAIN is.
Time will erase even the legends.
Yeah. But true basketball fans know who Wilt was. And whenever commentators or historians mention basketball records - Wilt's name stands there on the top of the all time greats.
CalcioEUnico Yes !
Its gonna be hard to erase his name from the record books.
messitup I'm 11 and i know who he is
Noah Films wowww have a cookie
I get the feeling that if he was born in Africa a few thousand years ago he would've been a King.
He was prettty damn close here in America
If only there is no other Male in the kings blood line,
Dude was like Xerxes from the Persian Empire
MJ, Wilt, LeBron, Kobe. Greatest ever to play.
Wilt probably was one of if not the first NBA player to have a quintuple-double, since the NBA didn’t record blocks
The Boots Moo yeh he probably could have done it 1000 times already
They recorded it unofficially and in 1967, he dropped 55 points 27 rebounds, 11 steals, 14 assists, and 24 blocks...
Literally killed the quintuple double, literally nobody was even close to it and here he was half way to a double quintuple double
Wilt would wreck lebrons shit up
Foster's Home for Imaginary friends was spot on 😂😂
Bridge Water Im sleep I NVR even thought of tht
i thought they based that red basketball guy on kareem and his sky hook
Wilt was to the average NBA player what the average NBA player is to the average man. That's how physically gifted he was.
Shaq: baseball player on another scale
Wilt: Decathlon elite athlete on another scale
I would loved to have seen Wilt vs. Shaq...both in their prime. That would have been a sight to see.
That would be so freakin epic.
Wilt would have sprinted up and down the court 5 times. Shaq would have been gassed.
Timothy Reff exaggeration at its finest
3:17 I just love hearing that.
I grew up watching Wilt on TV every time his team was on. He was spellbinding. Too bad TV back then in the boondocks where we lived was so fickle. There were games when the best tuning we could arrange was a slow, upward scroll, with a trapezoidal frame. And it was worth it to see him!
@Mike Brown I don't know if he could bench a full 600, but Arnold Schwarzenegger said he was phenomenally strong. That works for me.
Just image him with today's strength training,pick up practice, conditioning and shoes.
I wonder if Giannis can elevate to Wilt’s level?
@@Job.Well.Done_01 definitely not
I would say wilt was the best ever in his prime
Phil Jackson rejected at 4:00.
He is the GOAT in my book now. wow
5.20 look at this Celtic player look away in disgust after Wilt rejects him.The guy changed the game maybe the most dominant ever but no one can argue with these crazy stats.
Yooooooo after seeing this I think Wilt probly the true greatest !! Yooo!! He was working everybody!
"It's not possible for any human being to do the kinds of things he was able to do" - I mean, except it literally was.
There will never be another Wilt.
