Good to see the elder well and in seemingly good health. Remember watching Artis Gilmore mostly during his time with the San Antonio Spurs.
Indeed! Thank you for watching!
He looks great! Glad for him. Humble and very kind man
Thank you for watching!
I remember seeing Artis for the first time during the 1970 NCAA tournament. I wanted him to go to the NBA.
Thanks for viewing and thanks for sharing!
I remember Artis during the NCAA tournament
There was another center on his team named Pennbrook Burrows. Never heard much more a out him after college. He was 7'0" tall. Artis was good.
@@terrelparris8642 I remember Burrows and I was surprised he didn't make the NBA.
@@terrelparris8642 Pembrook Burrows went on to become a 7 foot Florida Highway State Trooper. I'm pretty sure he's retired now.😃
@@choward5430 Pembrook Burrows made it as a State of Florida Highway Patrol Officer. You could say he changed uniforms. 😃
IM 64 YEARS OLD AND WHEN I WAS 12 I THOUGHT I WAS GONNA BE THE NEXT ARTIS GILMORE I HAD THE LARGEST AFRO IN MY HOOD AND SCHOOL I FOLLOWED GEORGE ICEMAN GERVIN SINCE ICE WAS PLAYING FOR THE VIRGINIA SQUIRES FEBRUARY 1973 AND I LOOK LIKE JAMES JIMMY SI SILAS WOW WHAT A LIFE I'VE LIVED
Thank you for watching!
I wish James Silas was still on San Antonio when Gilmore was traded in the early 80s.

Heavy Gratitude
Thank you for watching!
That wasn’t much of an answer.
Artis. Great guy. But man, he missed that question.
I remember Gilmore from when he played for the 69-70 Jacksonville Dolphins.
They were light n up teams scoring over 100 points per game during the College Regular Season playing an INDEPENDENT SCHEDULE.
All season long, Jacksonville was talk n smack boasting and calling themselves the Tallest Team in the Nation.
Starting 5:
F 7-0 Pembroke Burrows, C 7-2 Artis Gilmore, G 6-5 Rex Morgan, F 6-6 Greg Nelson, and G 5-10 Vaughn Wedeking.
In the NCAA Tournament they upset #1 Kentucky in the semi finals.
🗣But Unfortunately UCLA was waiting in the wings. They lost in the Finals to the
# 2 Bruins.
UCLA led by its 2 book end Forwards Sidney Wicks and Curtis Rowe along with G Henry Bibby (all future NBA Players) shut down Jacksonville's high powered, high scoring machine like offense holding them well below their 100 PPG average and won going away in the Championship game.
Final Score UCLA 80 and Jacksonville 69.
🗣Lil bit of B Ball History regarding HOF Center Artis Gilmore before his ABA/NBA career.
Out!!
🗣♊️RISING
I wonder if today some of those blocks by wicks ob Gilmore would be called goaltending today?
But Sidney Wicks amazing talent

@@dominickcestrone462

🗣Wicks had game 🎮!!🏀

Thank you for watching!
The one game wilt played Kareem before he had his major knee injury, he comfortably outplayed Kareem both offensively and defensively.
After his knee operation he was never the same player but still in the playoffs blocked 23 Kareem Abdul-Jabbar shots, that might not sound much, but his physical prowess was reduced by the injury yet he still made it tough for a great opponent like Kareem, remarkable isn't the word for it!
Wilt according to a credible witness single-handed moved a large boat on a trailer into its parking space without effort, Artis & Nate Thurmond being the only two centres who could have possible matched that feat, they truly had a reputation for strength!
Do u know if Gilmore ever faced Nate Thurmond
@@marcconnelly5652 By the time Gilmore joined the NBA after the merger, Thurmond had retired. 1976.
This guy was a better player than Micahel Jordan. Hey man do you have a longer interview with him? And by the way if you like I can use this video on my page and hopefully it will help your page then .
Hannah you are still provoking people on YT with MJ not being great ,just to join your disaster of podcast hahahah loser
Hi! Thank you for viewing! A longer interview is not available at the moment but there will be some more exclusive content coming from former NBA and ABA legends coming this month. Yes you can use this video on your page with acknowledgment of ESHE Magazine. Thank you for asking!
First regular season match-up between Artis and Kareem took place on 11/28/76, after Artis joined the lowly Bulls team. The Lakers won by 19 and Gilmore had 16 points (6-18 from the field) and 10 rebounds; Kareem had 21 points (10-18) and 14 rebounds. Gilmore was splitting time with Bulls center Tom Boerwinkle, who scored 10 pts and grabbed 8 boards. Jabbar also so limited action - only played 26 minutes.
Gilmore had a much better second game against Jabbar. On 12/7/76, the Bulls defeated the Lakers in a low scoring 89-81 game. Gilmore stats: 22 pts (10-17), 12 reb, 4 blks. Jabbar: 13 pts (5-10), 7 reb, 4 blks.
I think Gilmore and Kareem were equal.i I watched videos of him in the ABA and he seemed a lot quicker.plus I think Gilmore started having knee problems and Kareem never really had knee injuries
Thanks for sharing!
Artis never played against Wilt in the regular season as Wilt was in the NBA until 1973, and Artis was in the ABA, and there was no cross leauge play. There were exhibition season and they may have played in some pickup games. Artis' best team was the 1983 Spurs who pushed Kareem's Lakers to 6 games in the WCF.
Great point...its ashamed the interviewer didn't know that before he asked that question
@@mikegillins4992 Most of these kids with UA-cam channels are under 40 years old.
@@AveryBlackman that's why it's important to do research
Thank you for viewing. Wilt Chamberlain and Artis Gilmore did indeed play against each other May 25th, 1972 in the "NBA-ABA Supergame II." The game was played at the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, New York.
Footage from the game can be seen here. Julius Erving also played in the game. ua-cam.com/video/HRMYJRHBeSk/v-deo.html
That said...nothing.
Him and Wilt are stronger than Shaq and Ben Wallace. But for pound for pound strength, Ben Wallace has a strong case of being number one together with Charles Barkley.
