The game of Basketball has been my passion since I was 5 years old. I grew up as a kid watching my dad's recorded VHS tapes of playoff games through the 70s and 80s, and collected all the Basketball cards. Something about the game and what it represents just hooked me from a very young age.
My love for the game only continues to grow as time goes on. I love studying and analyzing the game, with an unbiased perspective. Feel free to subscribe, follow me on social media, and celebrate this amazing game and it's rich history with me!
I post videos every week on NBA history, predictions, hypothetical scenarios and current NBA topics.

Its been almost 20 years since the day this Legend passed. Leave and like and lets show appreciation for one of the greatest. Do any of you think there is a greater athlete in any sport ever??

[egg]

Wilt was like if Lavar ball could actually do what he says

[dumisatonyjohnson]

Wilt- "look, Michael, just remember, when you played the league changed all the rules to make it easier for you to dominate. When I played the league changed all the rules to make it harder for me to dominate."

[johnnyblingg]

He did it in Chucks. That should end the conversation right there.

[chikeokjr]

Coach: How many minutes would u like to play
Wilt: *Yes*

[rockchalk]

I'm not even sure why people would argue this. Wilt was easily the best athlete, not in the NBA, but in the history of life.

[racewiththefalcons]

Wilt has more 60-point games than Jordan has 50-point games. Wilt has more 70-point games than every other NBA player in history combined.

[nikolajokic]

Imagine being Wlt Chamberlain's bench.

Player:When will I get in the game?
Coach: When our Center is tired
Player:*Looks at Wilt*
Also Player: Aight Imma head out

[dravendfr]

“So-and-so of today is the greatest player ever!”

*Shows them Wilt Chamberlain*

“Didn’t he play against 5’5” white guys? Besides they couldn’t dribble right!”

*Shows them that players on average were only an inch shorter and the dribbling was due to a clause, not player ability.*

“...We shouldn’t compare eras!”

😂

I saw Wilt give a demonstration of his leaping ability in 1959. We placed a quarter on top of the backboard and he leapt and retrieved it. He also demonstrated his high school foul shooting technique which was to leap from behind the foul line and dunk the ball. They changed many rules to counter his abilities. There is no doubt that he was the GOAT.

[millardwashington]

I would take Chamberlain as my first pick of all the players who have ever played

[mrslick]

The dunk at 7:18 by an old, slow, less powerful Wilt should give you a hint at just how poweful his dunks were in his prime. The toe story is very believable especially since kerr admitted it himself.

[enriquelorenzo]

He was never competitive, he was superior and he knew it, he did not try to humiliate anyone, he enjoyed his gifts that life gave him

[SuperMisteryMan]

Wilt The Stilt is undoubtedly a top tier goat candidate its a shame he played in his era. He would dominate in any era. All the power moves shaq could make in the post where illegal back then to limit Wilt and his dominance so he had more finesse game than people realize. He had a fadeaway shot off the glass in the post too.

[frankdalessandro]

in 1956 wilt played for overbrook high in philadelphia and played my high school. when he entered the gym that day and i saw him bend down to enter the doorway i knew we lost.

[markjackson]

but Johnny Kerr confirmed that Wilt broke his toe. WDYM! a simple block from this man dislocated the LeBron James of the 1960’s shoulder

[darnellmagruder]

I was actually stunned when I heard about his death, I thought he would live forever, at almost 70 I vividly remember his Sunday afternoon battles against Bill Russell, Warriors vs. Celtics yes kids the Warriors were in Philly at that time and how ABC's Chis Schenkel and Jack Twyman used to call the game. Wilt Chamberlain changed the game, he was a skilled big man like no other ask Kareem about him better than that ask Bill Russell. He could score at will, drop dimes like John Stockton or terrorize his opponents with his vicious dunks. He was fouled repeatedly and a lot of them were not even called or he would be untouchable on the scoring list despite him being a poor free-throw shooter. The league had to change the rule concerning free-throws because of him. You kids who think you know the NBA do some research on one of the most dominant big men ever, Wilt Chamberlain. Thank you, Mr.Arnett, its good to know that someone at least is trying to keep memories of the legends alive.

[racewiththefalcons]

Wilt has the NBA record for most individual NBA records. He would still hold this record even if he only played his rookie season and then immediately retired.

[pint.]

You forgot that wilt blocked kareem's legendary sky hook
