Wilt Chamberlain Faking a Baseball-Pass in Mid-Air

People just think of Wilt as a physical beast and they miss out on his skill level. He's definitely one of the most skillful Centers of all time and he did it in that beastly body. The only Center to lead the league in assists... Hello? The only player to lead the league in scoring & rebounding in the same season. He did it 6 times... Hello? With the available data we have, he averaged 8.8 blocks per game for his career.... Goodbye 🐏

[@seraphinaz7901]

Wilt never played to his physical prowess, his game has lots of flair with a great post game

[@20fadhilRevolution]

@@seraphinaz7901 it's partially to avoid further bullying by media (Wilt was so absurdly dominant many want to see him lose), and also because he literally can't thanks to the rules. There is a video of Wilt lowered his shoulder slightly against Borwinkle, and ref gave Wilt a charging foul.

What a great ball fake while in mid air to get rid of the defender before he gave it to the guard! Wilt remains the best passing big man ever.

[@jingqi9106]

@Michael Powell Jokic is my favorite modern player and a great passer but Wilt led the NBA in assists and was going behind the back into the lane for buckets when Jokic wasn't even a twinkle in his Momma's eyes.

[@orlmagicfan4life528]

@@jingqi9106 Jokic has a better handle on the ball so he's able to makes passes off the dribble that Wilt might not have.

[@jingqi9106]

@@orlmagicfan4life528 When Wilt was Jokic's age and a little younger it was not unusual for Wilt to lead the break and pass off the dribble. He left Kansas and signed with the Globetrotters where he often played point guard and especially on the break because it was entertaining to see somebody over 7' leading the break, going behind his back with the dribble and throwing behind the back passes to teammates. In the NBA, for the most part, he stopped doing that because his coaches wanted him on the low block. Wilt was a great low post passer and outlet passer. Sometimes he'd dribble up court, see an open teammate, jump high in the air, do a ball fake then complete a no look pass.

[@orlmagicfan4life528]

@@jingqi9106 That's very true. I would still give a slight edge to Jokic in the perimeter passing based on his ability to thread passes off of his sides to cutters in a way LeBron does. Wilt was obviously an amazing passer out of the post to cutting teammates as well. Perhaps if he wasn't scoring 50 he'd lead the league in assists every year like he once did😅

[@jingqi9106]

@@orlmagicfan4life528 I think if Wilt wanted to make perimeter passes with flair then he could have but that was not where he was most valuable. I will say that when I look for player highlights in the current NBA I most often look for Jokic highlights because his vision may be the best in the game and especially for big men. The high flying dunks are exciting but I get more enjoyment watching Jokic getting assists to be honest.

[@reggiedavis8045]

@@mysailing4405 now ask yo mans how many times did William Felton Russell Boston Celtics teams beat Wilt Chamberlain Philadelphia Warriors and 76ers and Los Angeles Lakers teams in the playoffs if you talking individual regular season and playoffs stats which are meaningless if your team doesnt win which is the most basic fundamental stat and reason players play, coach Herm Edwards once said in a interview, you play to win the game, you understand

[@reggiedavis8045]

@@mysailing4405 Individual players rebounding numbers were so high during the 1950s and 60s, because the fastpace of play and the invention of the 24sec shot clock, plus the Centers rarely guarded on the perimeter and stayed strictly by the interior to guard the paint and Powerforwards would stretch out at times and guard on the outside

[@reggiedavis8045]

@Bob George you never heard me say regular season is meaningless, i said stats are misleading, certain players are in system schemes that's catered to that player to dominate, you bring up regular season, playoff and individual statlines, im speaking on the basic fundamentals, intangibles, the competitive impact and presence in winning

@Bob George Wilt Chamberlain has a losing career record of 57wins and 85losses vs William Felton Russell in the regular season and playoffs, no matter what huge number stat line Wilt put up, it was clear Russell was a better leader and team player then Chamberlain was, the regular season prepares teams for the playoffs obviously but just cause a player put up huge stats against another player and the team loses doesnt make that player the greatest and most dominant, be honest, asked yoself or the history of the NBA how many matchups did Wilt Chamberlain led Warriors, Sixers, Lakers teams win in the postseason against the William Felton Russell Celtics teams throughout each of there careers
