Thanks for your comment. I didn't find any good sources on the fact he played professional golf but the man is an absolute legend.

I read it too but couldn't find any evidence, so I didn't put it in my video. As for Didrickson and Chamberlain, they are definitely on the list. Out of curiosity, which moment from Chamberlain's career would you have me highlighted? His 100 points game?

@@Ad-excelsum hard to say or pick just one. 100 points is incredible. i don't care if you do it against a high school team. still impressive. of course there is the 55 rebounds (against bill russell). or the clip where he blocks kareem's skyhook three times in one posession is kind of intriquing , or a clip of him blocking a shot where his hand is almost even with the top of the backboard. or just simply the 70 recoreds 50 years after retiring. really hard to pick a single thing
