you can defintely see who was not well. like people said this is less than a year before he died. not only did his eyes look bad, but his hair , and he was even sweating for no reason. so sad. i think i had seen him interviewed even less than a year before this and he looked so much healthier

is that a young right-wing nutbag michele tafoya? wilt was such a classy guy, the amount of racism he faced in those days in kansas, just as segregated as the south, but wilt always stayed positive thru it all, above it all. wilt was sick here, around a year to live, fighting heart disease for a few years, you can tell he's in declining health. wilt was a force of nature and carried himself with dignity.

BOTH WILTS REGULAR SEASON RECORD AND HIS PLAYOFF RECORD FOR REBOUNDS CAME AGAINST HIS RIVAL.BILL RUSSEL BTW HE BEAT BILL THAT YEAR TO GO ON TO WIN THE TITLE. BECOMING THE ONLY TEAM/PLAYER TO INTERRUPT THE CELTCS STREAK. THE NEXT TWO YEARS THE CELTICS BEAT WILT IN GAME 7'S TO WIN IT ALL AGAIN BUT WILT SHOULD HAVE WON. HIS TEAMMATES AND COACHES LET THE TEAM DOWN NOT WILT. BUT CONGRATS TO BILL AND THE CELTICS

WILT & thr KU JAYHAWKS got a raw deal in that '57 NCAA CHAMPIOSHIP. Jayhawks were to have won that handily. 3 ot's? Please. Dipper became a marked player because he didn't attend a Collegiate school in the state of PENNSYLVANIA after leaving OVERBROOK H.S. in PHILADELPHIA.

It's a shame they didn't retire his jersey earlier; he definitely looks a little sickly here. Kind of remind me of Ruth having his number retired at the old Yankee Stadium.

I'm guessing it was getting Wilt Chamberlain to show up for the ceremony. The Philadelphia 76ers had the same problem when they wanted to retire his number. They didn't want to do it unless he was there. I'm guessing Kansas felt the same way. It took decades until the 76ers retired his number as well.

When they raised Wilt Chamberlain's Jersey to the rafters, if you look just to the right of it you'll see the jersey of Clyde Lovellette. In an NBA playoff game against the Boston Celtics, Clyde Lovellette slammed Wilt Chamberlain with an intentional elbow to the mouth. That blow rammed Chamberlain's teeth up into his jaw. He battled infections there for the rest of his life. In the weeks before he died, the infection had gotten bad again and Chamberlain stop eating as a result. his health deteriorated badly over the last couple weeks of his life. He was scheduled to go back into the dentist just before he died. That elbow to the mouth, delivered 35 years earlier, indirectly led to the death of Wilt Chamberlain. Chamberlain was so angry at the elbow at the time that he did something he had never done before or since. He punched a fellow basketball player. Witnesses said at the time that Chamberlain smacked Clyde Lovellette with a vicious jab punch to the head. The punch only traveled a little more than a foot, but was so powerful that Clyde Lovellette was knocked completely unconscious and had to be carried off the court on a stretcher. The referees felt that Clyde had it coming. He was known as a dirty player. Wilt Chamberlain was not thrown out of the game. In fact he wasn't even an assessed a technical or personal foul on the play. Boston Coach Red Auerbach went ballistic. He was beside himself at how the referees could allow Wilt to punch a man, knock him completely unconscious, and not even get a technical or personal foul. While Auerbach was complaining to the referees, a still angry Chamberlain told Red to shut the hell up or you'll be next. Red Auerbach said to the referees, "did you hear what he said? Why don't you tell him to pick on somebody his own size"? The referee responded by telling Red Auerbach, "if any of the big men on your team want to volunteer to fight Wilt, send him on out". Red Auerbach stood there in stunned silence for a moment, then retreated to the bench without saying another word. True story!!!

Clyde had that coming. Wilt was easily strongest player in NBA history as well as most dominant. Stds caused a heart virus that eventually killed him, read Dr mirkin. Wilt and Larry Legend are my 2 fave NBA players, Celtic fan. I like Russell too but he was a dink to the fans just like Kareem was
