Notice that Wilt's Big Dipper team has four players while the opposition has six. According to the great volleyball player and Wilt's friend, Gene Selznick, the reason the Big Dippers had only four was so that they didn't have to rotate, allowing Wilt to stay upfront.

Chase Budinger did pro basketball and volleyball too. On the basketball court, Budinger wasn't great; but, on the beach, Budinger is a stud! There are other examples : Bo Jackson, Deion Sanders, Tim Tebow (baseball and football), Dave Winfield, Chris Bahr, James Jett, Ray Edwards, etc.

Maybe he touched 13 feet in 1965 in Philly. Based on a high school photo, they estimate that he could touch 9 feet 7 without jumping but I saw a photo of him almost touching the rim (within one inch). Say, 36-38 inches max.
