@@tyreegibbs5617 I'm guessing you don't realize it was harder then. Players travelled commercial airlines or bus, didn't have the training facilities or knowledge or knowledge we have now, didn't have the medical treatment knowledge or treatments we have today. There were fewer teams and fewer players opportunities, so there was more competition for fewer positions, and only the best got to play. On the whole, I consider the eras comparable.

Exactly 48 mins a game the style and pace now is very similar to back then and he’d still be the biggest fastest most skilled and talented big in the league by far

[@incurseio]

Yeah he was playing close to 50 mins per game in his era. Imagine if he had today's technology, knowledge, training, and conditioning. He'll be dominating the league with the same if not more impact than Shaq and with Giannnis type of movement. He'd also have Gobert type of defense under the basket but with more length, speed and hops. His dominance will be incomprehensible.

[@syncmonism]

I don't think "greater than he did before", except in terms of $$$ and popularity in popular culture. However, I suspect that he would be the best player in any era. I would absolutely LOVE to see him play in today's NBA, but I guess Giannis isn't exactly too far removed from the type of player that Wilt was.

@@syncmonism - except that Wilt was far stronger, bigger and more skilled. Giannis the freak is actually closest in skill but I give Wilt the edge with the free throw line finger roll and the fadeaway, plus a better passer and footwork.

Once I read in a magazine, than his statics on blocks was something about 10.5 by game, and that was only an estimation taked from the recordemos games, not a true static... MINDBLOWING!!!

[@jaranarm]

In 1968 Wilt set a postseason record 49.3 minutes a game against the Knicks, leading all players in points, rebounds, and assists. In his last postseason series, the 1973 finals, he played every minute of every game being a few months shy of turning 37 years old. 8 of Wilt's 9 postseason triple doubles came within this last half of his career. In 1967 Wilt set a postseason record 41 rebounds over Bill Russell, set a record four consecutive triple doubles, and shattered the record for most rebounds in a triple double with 38. Post knee injury Wilt had to play in four postseason series that went all the way to a game 7. In those games Wilt averaged 24.3 points, 24.5 rebounds, 5.8 assists, and shot .603 from the field while putting in a staggering 47.3 minutes a game. No player has ever dropped 20/20/5/.600 in a game 7 yet an older Wilt averaged that across four game 7s in the last four years of his career coming off knee surgery.

That, and he also competed against himself. When things are too easy, it gets BORING; I have never seen him commenting on this, but I think that was the case, i.e. the unstoppable fadeaway he used a lot, it was unnecessary for him, if he wanted to he could outpower whoever and score at will every time.

[@TheTroystreet]

Wilt is ridiculous in so many of these clips each time he moves someone it doesn’t even look like he is barely trying which is true. The reason he never got into a fist fight with anyone or used his full strength in a game is because he was afraid he would seriously hurt someone cause he knew how strong he was and how “strong” everyone else was. In my opinion not just the greatest basketball player but greatest athlete of all time.

Nate Thurmond was impressive but he was listed at 6'11" in an era that measured player's rights barefoot.

[@chrisp2272]

@@AndyZach The game is just different. Wilt could play the whole game because guys never bent their knees more than about 20 degrees from vertical. It was a jog up and down sport. It wasn’t a dig in on defense sport because there were too few good defenders (all the slow white guys) versus the handful of black athletes. I always like to steer people toward Jerry West highlights from 1970ish for context. He just moseys around the court at half speed until he’s open. He also does this as a 6’2” shooting guard. If he played today, he’s being defended by a guy 6’6”+ with a nearly 7’ wingspan. He might even draw a small forward who’s closer to 6’9” Wilt wasn’t a good shooter by any means. He had that 7-up (as in he looked like a 7 when he released the ball) finger roll and that was about it. Look up the top scoring centers of the era. A lot of the other good big men were in the 6’9” range (including Russell). Russell is another great example of a guy who was a product of his era. His offense was bad. And his defense was so good because they stood in the lane and waited for 6’4” white guys to come to them. Russell was the long arm of the law in his day and could pick up a mountain of stats without leaving the lane. He’d be forced to play on the ball defense on the perimeter if he played today. Good luck.

[@jaranarm]

Wilt played 29 postseason series, the majority of them played from 1966-73, and Wilt's teams went 18-11 in them. Anyone wondering about Wilt's drop-off in career average points from the regular season to the playoffs (30.1 to 22.5) should look at those 18 series Wilt's teams won because 13 of them was where Wilt scored less than his regular season average. Wilt's lowest scoring average in a postseason series came against the Warriors in 1973 where he only averaged 7.0 points, but then he also pulled down 23.6 rebounds (way above this season rebounding average of 18.6), outrebounded Nate Thurmond (who came in second to Wilt in rebounding that year) and defensively held him to .373 shooting (when Nate shot .446 against the rest of the league) and Wilt blocked at least 29 shots in that 5-game romp over Golden State, the team that eliminated Kareem's 60-win Bucks in the previous round that year. Wilt averaged more playing time in his last NBA postseason than he did during his rookie season.

[@FoobasSports]

I love reading all your posts. They're always so educational and informing.

[@jaranarm]

@E BO That's correct. As a Laker, Wilt only averaged 15.8 points on .531 fg% in the playoffs. But in the games where LA faced elimination Wilt upped his averages to 25.4 points on .602 fg%. Even in his post knee injury years, when he was asked to score more for his team he would do it. When he was not scoring he'd move his focus to another part of his game that he excelled in. His role and statistics were always fluctuating and every version of Wilt was molded by his coaches.

[@dacooooo]

My quarantine time NBA realization is that I have not given enough respect to Wilt. Last two days I am watching every available thing about Wilt on KZbin and other sources, and I feel guilty for not giving him enough props. I always considered him as a super-strong athlete who just dominated a bunch of mediocre players of that era but I never considered him as a legit basketball talent. Although some Wilt numbers I still consider to be floated due to weak competition, wilt was phenomenal player. He would still be a superstar in any freakin era. Sorry Big Dipper. RIP!!!

[@KISS_MY_CONVERSE]

imagine the type of hard fouls he received. He said he retired after his first season because the game was too physical. Then he came back. I think the owner gave him money under the table to come back. WIlt was mainly the reason the nba grew enough for them to add 9 teams by the time he retired. ANd the celtics didnt sell out a single game with all the winning they did. So wilt was a huge reason the nba grew. ANd i find it funny the year he retired the nba so happens to introduce the blocks per game stat. What a coincidence.

Anyone thinking Shaq was the most dominating big man really needs to study this video. Wilt was so much more. He could be described as a mix of the best centers of all time, except free throws where he was not good. He was the strongest fastest center of all time, jumped higher than anyone could. He had to score as much as possible, coaches demanded it, so great he was. He could dominate any era, without question.

For all of you saying "Oh, Wilt didn't/couldn't/wouldn't", let's remember for ALL of us: The men who played against him said he was the best, the strongest, and could do whatever he wanted. We're just throwing our opinions around at each other.

When you see this guy and think about the Jordan-Lebron goat debate, you can't help but shake your head. Wilt is probably above anyone that has ever touched a basketball. Yes, the game has changed and players are probably more athletic and skilled, but you have to look at every era in its own context. When you do that, it becomes clear that Wilt stood higher above his era than Jordan did in his. Had Wilt played in the 80's, 90's or 2000's, he would have acquired the modern big man skills just as easily as anyone out there.

[@ddenuci]

The story involving Mel Daniels being told beginning at 0:47 is from Bob Netolicky of the ABA Pacers. And it occurred during an ABA game in 1973-74 when the Pacers played the San Diego Conquistadors, who were coached by Wilt. Flynn Robinson was Wilt's teammate back when they both played for the Lakers on that great 1971-72 team. There's a video where a bunch of the Pacers were reunited and Bob told this same story. He started off by saying (quoting teammate Roger Brown) "We played 82 games, we had 82 fights, and Mel Daniels started them all". And Mel Daniels is there to confirm that the story is true. The Pacers of that era were an extremely talented team. Mel Daniels, George McGinnis (who was probably the most powerfully built forward of his time), Roger Brown and Freddie Lewis. Daniels, McGinnis and Brown all made it to the HoF. No wonder the Pacers won 3 championships in the ABA. It's too bad that Daniels didn't make it into the NBA. He did play a few games for the New York Nets in his very last season but he was cut early on. Apparently because of the way things ended for him in the ABA, he lost his passion for the game. He played a season in Italy after the ABA folded, and that probably didn't help when he tried to make his comeback in the US. It's also too bad Wilt never got to suit up for the SD Conquistadors. He signed a 3-year deal with SD to be a player-coach. But the Lakers challenged Wilt's right to play in the ABA, and they won the legal battle. This is because Wilt owed the Lakers the option year of his contract. So Wilt was allowed to coach in the ABA, but could not play.

[@FoobasSports]

I just saw the video you were talking about it was good and funny. Thanks for letting me know 👍

[@MDLOP8]

Wilt also did the same thing as a Globetrotter rookie to Meadowlark Lemon. It's in Wilt's autobio. Lemon jumped at him, and Wilt just caught and hoisted him over his head until Meadowlark calmed down.

[@ddenuci]

@slip satch Yes, he played for the NY Nets, after the Nets moved to the NBA. Here's the background: after a very successful career with the Pacers, Mel was traded to the Memphis Sounds at the start of the 1974-75 season. He was obviously disappointed to be leaving the Pacers, but he was excited about being able to play with Roger Brown and Freddie Lewis, who were his Pacers teammates also traded to the Sounds. Unfortuately, neither player lasted 10 games with the Sounds. Both were traded to other ABA teams. Keep in mind that the ABA was really starting to crumble at this point, so there were many decisions made for financial reasons that were not necessarily good basketball decisions. Mel's numbers fell significantly with the Sounds, and they were no longer even a team in 1975-76. Mel decided to play in Italy. The next year, the NBA/ABA merged, but the NBA only took four teams: Pacers, Nets, Nuggets and Spurs. Mel was signed as a free agent by the NBA Nets in Oct'76 and was waived a couple of months later after appearing in just 11 games, thus ending his career. It was even more surprising that Mel would be gone, because the Nets did not really have a decent center that year. Mel was plagued with a bad back at that point in his career, and he just wasn't the same player.

[@dmichael100]

@slip satch Havlicek retired in the 77-78 season which was the second season after the merger. Mel Daniels played just a few games of the 76-77 season and was cut by the Nets. There is a pre-season game from the 76-77 season on my channel (dmichael100) between the Nets and Knicks and Mel plays in that one some and blocks a few shots.

[@Soylntgrnisppl]

The season in which Wilt played a style of game, at least statistically, most like Bill Russell was in the Lakers' magical '71-'72 season. Wilt averaged 14.8 pts per game and 19.2 rebounds. At that stage of his career, although he was still capable of higher scoring games, he was surrounded by exceptional scorers like Jerry West (although past his prime), Gail Goodrich and solid scorers like Jim McMillan. Wilt, that season, was mostly a defensive-oriented Center who was one of the best passing Big Men in the game and still one of the best Rebounders and Shot Blockers. Wilt's ability to block shots in the later stages of his career was a sight to behold. I remember Wilt blocking shot after shot against the Bulls in the WC Semifinals that year. The Lakers, that season, coached by former Celtic great Bill Sharman, truly mirrored the best Russell-led Celtics teams from '56-'69. Lakers won a then record 69 games, including 33 consecutive wins and they defeated an injury-plagued, but still, very formidable Knicks team to win their first Chip as the L.A. Lakers. The Knicks defeated the Lakers twice to win the Chip, but '71-'72 was a, one-for-the-ages, season for the Lakers.

Wilt NEVER led his team in rebounds and points at the same time while winning an NBA Finals, unlike the genius Russell. That's because Russell's scoring helped his team, Wilt's team had a 22-30 playoff record during his 7 scoring title seasons
