Wilt Chamberlain: 100 points in a game. Avg 50ppg/25rpg in a season. Most games over 90. Most games over 80. Most games over 70. Most games over 60. Lead league in scoring. Lead league in Rebounding. Lead League in Blocked Shots. Lead league in Assists. Lead league in total minutes played. NEVER Fouled Out of a game. Set 68 NBA records in 13 year career.

@@scooter2220 Scooter, Let me explain what you don't understand: The reason the NBA doesn't acknowledge Wilt Chamberlain's greatness is because everyone else would have to line up behind him. TheyNBA always pushes the GOAT story. But they wouldn't be able to do it if they admitted Wilts greatness and everyone else had to line up behind him. That would mean the Best player is number 2 behind Wilt. And in anything, most people don't want to remember or care who comes in second. Whether it be car racing or track and field or Boxing or Football/Baseball. Nobody cares about 2nd place. There's no money in it. The NBA knows this and is simply a deceitful organization doing what it does for its own benefit.

People know about what an offensive force he was, but what makes him great is that he was an amazing defensive player, rebounder, and excellent playmaker as well. And, of course, because he played so many minutes, that's a big part of what allowed him to amplify his impact on the game. Part way through his career, he stopped being the first option scorer, and tended to play more of a defense-first and playmaking role. If he had played as an offensive first option for all of his career, he might still hold the record for most career points, despite only playing 13 seasons vs. the longer careers of Kareem and Le-James

Add another stat I was unaware of that seems insane. Play every minute of every game, block 10 shots a game and fight for 25 boards a game and still never foul out. Doesn't seem real.

A lot of people don't understand that Wilt had inherent strength: a natural level of better-than-average muscle bulk and strength. And THEN he began to seriously engage in weight-lifting for power and strength when he was about 18 years old--and continued with it for decades. His physician gave him a head-to-toe exam one year after the season was about to begin, and Wilt had gained over 4 inches of muscle throughout his torso. He was also a dedicated high jumper who was extremely proud of his vertical leap, and he loved running track for speed and distance. Put that all together, and Wilt was a once-in-a-lifetime athletic marvel.

Yes!...In a few old film clips, he would sometimes receive the ball inbounds, like a guard would, then sprint down the court, taking those inhuman, long strides, and within a few seconds would be underneath the basket, either slamming it down, or distributing the ball. At times, it just seemed unfair, that he was just too big, strong, fast, intelligent, and plain scary to even be allowed on the court with mere mortals! In some ways, he was actually as gifted a player as Jordan--just a lot larger and stronger!

He would almost never shoot from that far away unless it was to beat the buzzer, which he did do on occasion. He was actually known for having a decent long-range shot. Of course, with the 3 point rule, he likely would have taken a lot of 3-point shots. This almost happened, as he was about to return from retirement in the late 70's, and had been working on his 3 point shooting, but the negotiations fell apart at the last moment when Chamberlain took offense to something one of the team representatives did. Wilt could be a bit petty if you ask me. There are some weird stories about him over-reacting unexpectedly to the strangest things, like the story of him SPITTING on a complete stranger in an elevator after they asked him "how's the weather up there".

Yeah, it's not like Wilt choked in those playoff games. He has incredible playoff stats, and he was constantly giving his teams a chance to win. Every time Chamberlain moved to a new team, that team would instantly become a contender as a result, especially when he was in his prime. It's also important to remember that some of Wilt's teams came extremely close to beating the Celtics in the playoffs, and, on one occasion, his team DID beat the Celtics (with Bill Russell) in a playoff series. Luck can play a big role in those super close series, and it's funny how a bit of luck can change a player's legacy for better or for worse.

amazing video bro keep it up

It’s funny that detractors like to say it was a different game then. Yet the court is the same length, width and same with the paint. Rim was 10’, ball was same size and there was a 24 second clock. Rules were similar as well, with some changes due to Wilts dominance. The difference is they played at breakneck speed the entire game, which they could do today if they want to. The only real difference is the 3 pointer. Pretty sure they would have figured out how to incorporate that into the game.

After that 50 point season the next year he averaged 44.8ppg. Then there is the season he averaged 25ppg on 68 percent shooting. Wilt undoubtedly the greatest player ever, Bill Russell surely second to only Wilt.

He could have retired after his rookie season and he'd still have the all time record for rebounds per game and rebounds in a season (and also the all-time record for points per game in a season).

Greatest athlete period. Only Jim brown and Bo jackson come close

Look at Jim thorpe a forgotten great

We also forget, guys like Wilt & Russell played in canvass flat bottom sneakers, with no suppliments or big money for trainers etc. They would have loved a pair of Air Jordans, some Gatorade, and personal doctors / trainers / massage therapists.

Wilt used to kick it with Conan the Barbarian, that's what a bad ass he was.

Teams win championships not individual players. Wilt has the most stat records so he's the g-(player)oat. And it's a tossup between Lakers or Celtics 17 titles each or Bulls two 3-peat runs.

What people are so ignorant about is the time frame. Boston had a stranglehold on the league. Best owner best coach best collection of players. The Celtics and Hawks were the most financially stable teams. Everyone else was trying to stay afloat. Wilt was paid by Eddie Gottlieb to score and score some more. The offense went through Wilt. Boston had none of that. Russell didn’t have the expectations Wilt had. Not close. Championships in those days went through Boston and the only two teams that really challenged Boston were Wilts teams and the West Baylor Lakers. So when people use titles as a criteria back then they need to see that the NBA was in a much different frame of reference than they would ever be in again. The Celtics to their credit seized upon the environment and took 11/13 titles and 8 in a row. They had a stranglehold on depth $ and coaching. It really wouldn’t be a league of parity until the later 60’s.

The amount of disrespect that young people give wilt annoys me so much

It’s impossible to compare generations let alone generations where there wasn’t a lot off footage. I get why people criticize but people like you and I seem to understand how dominate he was in that era. I’m sure he could play in every era and be successful

Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Michael Jordan. #NBAMtRushmore

Wilt Chamberlain was the Eighth Wonder of the World The most dominant athlete that ever played Basketball, he was the embodiment of Mars, just look at how he shook Shaq's hand, he probably nearly broke it, and he still looked to be in better physical shape 20 years after his retirement than Shaq ever did during his career. And Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant all acknowledge that Wilt is the Greatest, as they know that he was the only guy that would dominate in every era, and with the addition of the three point line, he would beat his own 100 point record, as he was able to skyhook the ball from the three point line.

Wilt led the league in points, rebounds and assists during his career. His only knock is not winning more chips.

@@mikegillins4992 Indeed. 67 sixers were the only team to defeat the Celtics in the entire 1960s decade. 72 lakers had to go through the defending champion Bucks with back-to-back MVP Kareem and Oscar, both all-time greats. I believe Wilt is the only player to play on two teams that set a new NBA record for wins in a season as well.

@gtg309v no doubt he was the only player on two record breaking teams and he was league MVP on 67 team and finals MVP on 72 team Back in the sixties and fifties you had dominant teams like celtics, Yankees and packers with no free agency...it took a special team with a special player to beat any of those teams and that's what that 67 team was special led by the big dipper!!!

It started long before Wilt got there, it was the Baylor/West Lakers that kicked it off, Bill was about to retire when Wilt got out there

I’ve seen some ill informed posts claiming Rodman was the greatest rebounder ever. His best single game number was 34. Wilt got 55..against Russell. Enough with the silly talk.

Wilt is still the GOAT!

Forget the scoring for a minute. Forget the blocked shots. Played EVERY minute of the game for a whole season. Athlete? God. Never fouled out of a game. Nobody else even comes remotely close. Now. Scoring. # of games over 50? Again, nobody else even remotely close. Others lucky to have even ONE. Wilt? ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTEEN. The supposed goat, Jordan? 31. ONLY 31. Go look at the record books. It's filled with Wilt Chamberlain's name in so many categories. If the 3 point shot was available in his time, his highest scoring game would likely have been even higher than 100.

between Wilt and Steph they are my favorites

Apparently, he ran a couple marathons and one ultra marathon in Canada... But, finding his times seems impossible... Anyone out there got them? Nothing would surprise me with this guy...

You guys finally got it right.

Multiple years leading the league in Rebounds and not a single Foul Out Game DAMN

Dude was a real life nba 2k my career center

How could a person play all those years and never foul out? Wow that is pretty Crazy.

Milliken (sp?) was the guy who broke the molds and Wilt increased the size of those molds.

6 and 5 is most dominant. Bill Russell, Kareem, and Mj all have atleast 6 rings and 5 mvps. Shaq doesn't have that. Nuff said. Shaq was simply the most dominant Center of his era. Individual numbers as far as they are concerned, Wilt Chamberlain has records that are arguably unachievable to break, Shaq isn't close. Nuff said

Basketball is a team effort game, and although Wilt Chamberlain was that a very dominant NBA player during his prime, Wilt Chamberlain unable to win as many as Championship title, and that is the main reason why Wilt not on the GOAT debate, but Wilt is in my Top Ten Greatest NBA Players of All Time, he's my number Seven behind LeBron James. 🤔🤔🤔

If I would start a team then definitely Bill Russell - he made everyone around him better.

In converses… crazy

🐐

Wilt vs Shaq. Ha! Shaqs’ tongue would be hangin out as Wilt ran him off the court. He avg ‘d 48.5 min./game & Never fouled out being double & triple teamed. If he was more arrogant and cut throst like MJ, OMG hard to imagine! He was the ‘Gentle Giant! What he wasn’t though was Modest😂 And by the way... Rick Barry was freakin awesome too 🏀

Wilt Chamberlain also went to 9 straight NBA finals 😎😎

He was hanging out with two olympic gold medal shot putters, and casually beat them both for fun.
