I was at a Philadelphia game in 1966 and went down to the floor when Wilt was sitting there before the game. I looked at his Shoes that he was putting on and asked him what size they were. His response was, "Why is that Boy, you want to buy me a pair"!

@@ac4185 MULTIPLE rule changes. Widen the lane from 12' to 16'. Offensive Goaltending (though Bill Russell probably had some input into that one). Free Throw must leave your hand before you cross the line of the free throw line (Wilt is known to have been able to DUNK from the free throw line with a 2-3 step start as a freshman in college - unknown if he could do it from a standing start AT the line but you were not required to BE at the line for the shot - just behind it). Just from the top of my head. The only major change I can remember from the MJ era was the Flagrant Foul rule growing teeth (after the 1990 Finals) - but that was more do to dirty players like Laimbeer, even if it DID help MJ indirectly.

When I was an elementary school kid in the San Diego area of SoCal, Jerry West, Wilt Chamberlain, and Elgin Baylor were household names. We'd pretended that we were them on the court to experience that sense of Lakers greatness. Even though we had the Elvin Hayes led Rockets back then, the Lakers were the team we rooted for! Enjoyed Jerry's accounts of Wilt. Thanks for sharing.

[@stephanM5]

When people talk about the GOAT, they are speaking of normal human beings that played the game and are held in such regard. When you talk about Wilt Chamberlain he was in another league or shall we say category. His size, strength and athletic ability were outside the scope of normal human beings. No one will ever match or beat the NBA records he put up, not in a thousand years. Imagine averaging 50 points a game and 25 rebounds for an entire season; who does that?! No one to this day has come close.

[@corbinmcnabb]

No one else has averaged 50. No one else has averaged 40. And he did this with a pretty good field goal percentage. And of course, the rebounding. Russell was the only one close to him there, and Wilt beat him more often than not.

It was so successful that his teammates Tom Heinsohn and KC Jones would coach the Celtics under Auerbach as team exec and still won championships. When you talk about Russell all you can talk about is championships. Wilt has championships and so much more on top of that.

Maybe the most impressive stat was that Wilt averaged 48.5 minutes a game one season. Wilt only missed 8 minutes of play the entire season. I can't imagine anyone ever accomplishing that.

Whenever we would drop someone off at LAX we would park in a holding area and wait our turn to pick up a passenger who had just landed. As I'm sitting there I notice this very large man who could be Wilt Chamberlain talking to a few of the other cab drivers. By the time I left ( about 45 minutes later) he was still talking to these cabbies. But not only talking, but you would have thought all of them were best friends. He was super friendly and sincere. I was very impressed with this man and how he engaged people.

The Lakers lost their luster long ago. I attended games during that 71-72 season, as well as during the Magic Johnson era and the Kobe/Shaq years as well. I about bled purple and gold. Now I mostly ignore sports altogether, but I will root for the Lakers to lose if I even think about them. Their current "superstar" has ruined it all for me, and I would rather have seen them lose to Miami a couple of years ago than see them tie the Celtics for most all-time NBA Championships with that clown on the team. Jeannie Buss has failed her father's legacy, sadly. Outside of that one season, they have been a disaster. The days of West, Goodrich, Chamberlain, Baylor and the later dynasty teams were different. I'm glad I experienced those times. I've nothing good to say about today's NBA.

I got to shake his hand in ‘69 at a basketball camp where he was a guest instructor. The camp was held in the mountains of Virginia and run by a number of coaches from the Southern Conference. When we signed up for the camp we didn’t know West would be there. Among other things, he put on a shooting exhibition for us, played in a game with the camp counselors, who were players from SoCon schools, and handed out awards at the conclusion of the camp. That’s how I got to shake his hand. He was a very sincere and down to earth man and I wish I’d understood then just what a privilege it was for us for him to have taken the time to be there.

Chamberlain was an exceptional all-around athlete, and due to a combination of size and unique musculature, may have been the strongest man ever.

I would have to put Andre the Giant (when he was still in good physical condition) above Wilt Chamberlain as far as strength, all of Andre's friends and his Handler Tim White have mentioned he never actually went to the gym and lifted weights. If he had decided to get into it, he would probably hold every weightlifting record there is. Some drunk idiots in a bar were hassling him and throwing beer cans at his head he chased them outside and flipped over their car with the four of them in it like it was nothing. The best part is when the cops got there they arrested the four guys for causing a disturbance because they didn't believe their story that this giant guy had come along and flipped over the car all by himself LOL😂

You will pardon me if I'm, eh, (how to put this politely) NOT CONVINCED that you drive a hummer an average of 375 miles per hour.

[@stephenwhite5444]

Man i wish he would tell some stories of playing with Wilt....i love the personal stories too but id like hearing some play stories.

[@captjim007]

Not sure Wilt exaggerated too much about his driving.

[@smeghammer2949]

Chuck Norris tried to break wilts record with women but was disqualified because his lovemaking reopened the hole in The ozone

[@TomdeSabla]

Then there was the time Chuck visited Hogwarts. A brash young wizard was showing off the sword of Gryffindor and accidentally slashed Chuck. Chuck got stronger

[@joecrosswhite580]

the 20000 is BS he would have had 55 different women every month for over 30 years

[@georgejones2863]

I know that sounds impossible but I have heard a story of someone close to Wilt that said he was in a hotel and there was a line of women down the hallway waiting their turn to be with Wilt.

The GOAT. No doubt about it.

Is Fred Schaus the general manager that West is referring to?

[@ElliottNest41]

Yes

Meh, what does Jerry West know about basketball? Any number of YT experts say that Wilt would just be a bench warmer today.

They were wiped out in the flood. There is no biblical reference (at least that I’m aware of) that would suggest they exist today.

There are stories to tell about Kawhi and Paul George, so Wilt makes a good topic.

[@danielbrown3461]

Kawhi and Paul George were never NCAA High Jump Champs like wilt was at Kansas.

[@johns363]

It's a good thing Jerry West could play basketball because he sucks at storytelling.

[@rechoopslegend9833]

I love Wilt but he just didn't win as much as he was supposed to. Its hard to consider him the goat especially considering his athletic prowess. A guy that can score 100 point should have 2 to 3 rings the fact he has so many broken records and only 1 ring to me speaks volumes of how much his play style didn't amount to winning

[@johnhardman825]

Russell had a better team than Wilt. If Wilt had been in Boston he would had a bunch of rings.

[@rechoopslegend9833]

@@johnhardman825 We know. Doesn't change the fact that he should have won more he was such a dominating force.

[@rechoopslegend9833]

Dude averaged 50 a game where is that in the playoffs 🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@stvarnonevjerovatno3700]

Wilt has two rings, and is the only one who beat 60's Celtics at the time of no free agency, this was something Baylor, West or Robertson never managed. It's a bit like LeBron going against 2017 Warriors for the best part of his career. There is only so much one player can do, basketball is a team sport.

[@aarondigby5054]

​@@johnhardman825thank you, it wssntno free agency back then, so it took you three to five years to get a nucleus of big threes, Chamberlain, Greer and Walker that nucleus won 69 games a single season winning pot record at the time and top it off with a chip

[@lilbru]

I wonder which gates did wilt go to
