Wilt was so strong that Arnold had to ask him to stop coming to his gym because everyone would stop working out to watch. He used to bench 650 before games because that’s all the weights they had in the facility. Russell famously said, that Wilt had to hold back for fear of hurting his opponents. There has never been a player that compared to him. High jumper, hurdler, and in his late 40’s he was acknowledged as the greatest volleyball player in the world. Lebron is a physical phenomenon, but there are no words for Wilt except super human.

Shaq was great because of his body weight, and strength. He moved well for a big man. He was able to dominate because of that but Wilt was a better all around player and his numbers and video clips proves that

Shaq love too many Krispy Cream and got fat and out of shape. Kobe would get totally frustrated with Shaq because of his conditioning. Wilt bench press 650 lbs and 600 at age 59. High jump in college ran the 400 meters on the Kansas University track team. Played the whole game all 48 minutes 82 game season for 13 seasons and never fouled out of the game. He would expend so much energy that half time he would eat a whole two layer cake or consume a whole apple pie. Sometimes on the off season he would water fast for 10 days at a time. ALWAY in shape and condition, no "load management" a very kind but confident man. A man who holds all the records and could play in any Era. Also the first player in the NBA to get $2 million dollar contract. Champion volleyball player at age 53. Stop it and do your homework Shaq knows who Wolt really was. Peace.

Well i am only 60, and my Uncles played street TEAM basketball in the 60s-70s, in my island Guam, most of them dead now, they be like 76+ age older if still alive. Everyone i know (and read/see on ESPN, Sports illustrated, Bleacher, forgot the 4th name), reported by "paid professionals writers/reporters said SHAQ is the MOST DOMINANT CENTER IN NBA HISTORY, and the thing is "i saw it" , and to include NBA COACHES said "they do NOT have an answer to BEAT SHAQ. But NOW watching this video, i just do not really know, but hearing Jabbar talk about Wilt is AMAZING. I know that Wilt only have 2 Rings, and many record breaking, BUT LETS FACE IT "RINGS and STATs are IMPORTANT" to be in "TOP 10 NBA GOAT" between over 75 years of NBA players, that is a lot of PLAYERS to compare against. You can NOT. ignor that pass 6-7 years, the NBA players are FASTER, QUICKER. HIGH FLYING ABOVE RIM!, SLAM DUNKING ACROBATIC MOVEs, and absolutely crazy amazing shooting abilities COMPARED to 60's. GSW Chef S. Curry is so small at only 6'4" Shooting Guard, is unquestionable the GOAT SHOOTER. Basketball as we know has always been a BIG TALL MAN GAME, but Air Mike, and NOW Chef Curry is changing the game,.NBA coaches are scatching thier brains how to BEAT THIS 3pt scoring threats by smaller/quicker players. So based on this video i am NOW looking at Wilt differently. Someone said Wilt had 4 MVPs ? What years if you know ? I still think Air Jordan is.GOAT because he has 6-Six Rings and 6-Six MVPs plus STATs 👍🏽.

He owned the key and anybody entering was probably going to get their shot swatted out of bounds. The battles he had with Kareem, Willis Reid, Nate Thurmond and Bill Russell we’re to me the most exciting matchups in all of sports. He is the greatest center of all time both offensively and defensively.

In 1961-1962 season Wilt averaged 50.4/27.2. That season HE WAS NOT the league MVP (selected by the players back then)! He averaged 30/20 for his career basically stopping to score his last 6 seasons. No matter what he did - was never enough. Karim was never scoring AND rebounding leader during a season. Wilt did it 6 or 7 times. Most people who rank him never saw him play. I never did. But by the sheer amount of lies about him and attempts to discredit and diminish his accomplishments there is no doubt in my mind - he was by far the most dominant player to ever play in the NBA.

In the 76ers era, Chamberlain was urged by the head coach to share the ball with his teammates and score more efficiently than to hold the ball, and to put more effort into the defense, while colliding with the Celtics. I like the episode where I continued to lick my tongue and decided to change my playing style and won the NBA.

That was a cool moment

Wilt is the biggest athletic freak in NBA history - especially for the time in which he played

There are several fallacies about Wilt that often go unchallenged, one of which is that he 'never played anybody.' He played Bill Russel half a dozen times or more per season because the league was much smaller back then. And have we already forgotten about Nate Thurmond, another member of the 50th anniversary team? Ask Russ what he thinks about Nate Thurmond. Wilt also registered his career high single-game rebounding record (55 boards) against Russ. Beyond that, I'd also point out that Wilt was not the lumbering monster we see in his Laker years when he first joined the league. Before his stint with the Sixers, he was built more like Kareem was. Beyond all this, this business of saying he wouldn't be able to put up such numbers in today's game? Please, he'd have avoided putting on the bulk we saw him carry as a Laker because it wouldn't be the advantage it was back then. Granted Wilt didn't have Olajuwon's footwork/movement in space, but he ran like David Robinson (incidentally, Robinson in his prime? Awesome). Take a look at the Greek Freak and add three inches to his height. That would be Wilt in the modern NBA. Wilt would dominate again, period. Sorry, that's just facts. And one more thing. Show me someone who averaged 48.5 minutes per game for an entire season. Guess what. Never happened outside of Wilt. Deal with it.

I love how the basis of your argument is that he played against the only other two good big men in the league back then 😂 And he lost time and time again to Russ when the two of them played for the only two truly title contending teams. The league was a joke back then, and while that's no fault of Wilt's it certainly hinders his place among the all-time greats who played in much better eras with much better competition. He is extraordinarily overrated.

Wilt still holds most of the records. He was a dominant all around athlete. If Wilt played in this era with year round training and coaching he would dominate in this era as well.

Truth is what I believe, the reason so much of the youth today can't comprehend this kind of a talent is because many of the special player's of Wilts time from the '50s all the way until the '90s we're definitely many decade's ahead of thier time.

Shaq's size (plus a bit), Kareem's finesse around the rim, Olijouwan's footwork, Mutumbo's blocking. That more or less describes Wilt. I don't even really understand why there's a discussion.

Wilt would’ve been dominant and amongst the best in the league in any era. He’s a 7’0er that competed in the high-jump and could lift over 600 pounds. That speaks for itself. His achievements can’t be refuted.

Wilt was incredible in many ways; but I doubt that he benched 600 lbs. There is no real evidence of it. All that there is are stories that get passed round and round. Big time power lifters of the time barely did that. No way Wilt benched 600; especially with his body type; with those long arms.

@@anthonyjulianelle6695 You don't have evidence of anyone lifting anything. I can use plastic weights in a video of me lifting 300 pounds. You wouldn't know whether I'm really doing that. Point is, too many people testified in favor of Wilts enormous strength for that not to be true. Arnold even said that Wilt practiced certain muscle types with weights that the strongest guys in the world couldn't manage, and he did it effortlessly. So yeah, he was strong, definitely. Clearly a one in a billion athlete.

Glad to see the love to the older players in others sports the older players still get recognised as goats etc but in basketball it’s discredited because of era

there was a time when Wilt would look like the Greek Freak, Magic Johnson, and Michael Jordan. He was far too skilled to play back then. Once he started getting older and slower... and Kareem could hook shot over him and block his shots, it was too late. Kareem started looking like a younger Wilt. But his early 20's the way he could get up and down the court... always get the ball no matter the situation and out run everyone... scoring at will. It left the world in AWE. We couldn't compute what the heck was going on. There wasn't enough court for him to even look normal out there.

For about 8 years, Wilt was both the best offensive and defensive player in the league. If blocks and steals were recorded in his era he would have at least one centuple double and a dozen quadruple doubles. He would be, by far, the leader in career blocks. There was nothing he didn’t do better than Shaq.

World class athlete.... In any sport. He will always have a case for GOAT. Wilt in any other decade would be even better given new tech / ways to train, think for a second

@@pioplu4803 listed.....was shorter than 7'1 3/4 Kareem.

THANK YOU for doing a video on WIlt Chamberlain. I agree that the 80-90s are the best era, but two of the top 10 players are from the 60s and should be recognized. Learning more about Wilt over the past few years, he is in my top 2. Here is why: 1. He is easily one of the five best offensive players in NBA history, probably one of the two best. 2. He is easily one of the five best defensive players in NBA history. 3. The only player who I think joins him on both lists is Jordan. 4. He is easily one of the three most dominant players in NBA history, probably one of the two best. 5. The closest comparison post-merger is clearly Shaq. Wilt was so athletic that he blocked Kareem's sky hook at age 33. Shaq at 33 was in Miami, still dominant, but not as athletic as he was in Orlando. 6. His overall athletic ability, added to his height and wingspan, is unmatched. The Olympic motto is “Citius, Altius, Fortius”, "Faster, Higher, Stronger". With a fair way to score players in all three categories, his composite score would be dramatically separate from the next closest. 7. He is first in rebounds with Russell 10% behind him and Kareem 25% behind for the third spot. The things holding him back in the rankings: 1. He only played 13 full seasons (excluding his 12 games in 1969-70). And those were *full* seasons, averaging 79.5 games each, missing only 33 games combined in those 13 seasons. So he did not play as long as some other Top-10 players like Kareem, LeBron, or Kobe, but he is still 7th in points. So while he lacks the longevity of some, he definitely had the durability. 2. Blocks were not counted until after his last season playing. He would have needed to average less than 4 blocks/game to top that list, and watching the game footage which is available suggests he would shatter that. 3. Rings. He "only" had 2. The rest of my Top 10 are Michael, LeBron, Kareem, Russell, Magic, Bird, Duncan, Kobe, Shaq. If the Mt Rushmore of coaches is Red Auerbach, Phil Jackson, Pat Riley, and Gregg Popovich, every single other Top-10 player had one of these as his coach or exec. So rather than talking about Wilt's teams and Bill's teams, instead keep Wilt's teams the same and give him Phil Jackson as his coach for 7-8 years. In the 1960s, Bill one 9 rings and Wilt won the other one. I think with Phil Jackson as his coach, Wilt might have easily won 3-5 of the 10. With 4-6 total rings, added to everything else, I think it is pretty easy to say he is Top-2 or Top-1. 4. Attitude. See #3, having a Mt Rushmore head coach. Michael was all about the numbers, until he wasn't because of Jackson. Kobe was selfish, until he was manageably selfish. LeBron couldn't get over the hump until he signed with Pat Riley. Kareem only had one title, despite being the best (or one of two best with ABA-Dr J) in the 70s until he had Pat Riley as his asst / head coach. Sure, Wilt won with Riley too, but Riley the role player
