How can a human being be that tall + that fast + that agile + that strong + that coordinated + that amount of stamina all combined into one? Then consider he was on the regimens known at that time. Give Wilt today's training, nutrition, and "supplements" and it would make a monster that topped the limit of a human's physical ceiling.

Saw Wilt twice in my lifetime live in person, I was like nine years old, once at a closed door practice at the Fourum in 1972, and Jerry West and this was during thier 33 wins in a row streak and the 1972 World Championship team. Then saw Wilt a few years later, he was playing volleyball at Santa Monica Beach and I watched for 45 min nobody could return his spikes and nobody even tried, then the ball rolled over to me out of bounds and I passed it to Wilt, I can actually say I passed a ball to Wilt Chamberlain! Will never forgot these two experiences and the most awesome human specimen I have seen in 59 years of walking this earth.

The scary thing about Wilt is that in spite of his completely impossible stats, he didn't play like a guy as big and strong as he was. He intentionally played a finesse game so people couldn't just discount him as a brute. Bill Russell believed that he was the only one that truly knew how good Wilt was because Wilt tried harder against him than anyone else.

If Wilt had taken it to the hole like Shaq every time, then half the guys in the league would go out to injury. We're lucky he was so nice. He had the good sense to know that shooting fade away jumpers and rebounding everything was healthier for the overall league. Remember, this was the same guy who broke a guy's arm and dislocated Gus Johnson's shoulder from a 100% Ball block. Wilt got his hand on the ball, Gus stopped going up, hit the floor and bounced dislocating his arm. Gus was the same size and weight as Charles Barkley when he was in shape.

Wilt was Superhuman, he was also super nice. He was very conscientious of his strength on the Basketball court not to hurt other players. In 1972, Lakers against the Knicks, Wilt went up close to the basket for the slam, Willis Reed jumped up to block it, and Wilt let off and put it in gently. He could have snaped Willis's arm off, no one could stop him. He has been my Hero ever since, that and the 100-point game. RIP Wilt!

I was born in 1976. My father was born in 1943. All he talked about no matter who we were watching play in the 1980s until his passing in 2001 was Wilt, Bill Russell, Kareem, Moses Malone, and Hakeem Olajuwon. Oscar Robertson “The Big O” was the only “small” who my father talked nonstop about. When Shaq entered the league I’d tell him none of those bigs could do anything with Shaq and my pops would lose it. My mother got so tired of us debating Wilt v Shaq. When Shaq lost to Hakeem in 1995 my pops was on an “I told you so” campaign, grinning and laughing at me and the tv the entire series and I was 18 and cluelessly shocked…😂. Understanding the game of basketball as I’ve gotten older, and learning more about Wilt….pops was right. I owe my father an apology because I’m thinking he was right all along.

He was convinced that losing in the national title made it so he was hated there and we didnt want anything to do with him. He was so wrong and everyone let him know it. He does not seem like a man that allows his emotions to be seen but he could not help it when he finally came home.

He’s an all time great but let’s be real. His offensive game is long gone in today’s NBA. Saying he could adapt is a big “what if” question which could be applied to anyone else. All we know for sure is that today’s players would dominate older generations, because of their superior athleticism and skill. Athletes and their sports evolve over time, it’s unlikely a player from past generations would “dominate” today’s NBA.

(All recorded times and other statistics) At the University of Kansas this is what he did: He ran the 100-yard dash in 10.9 seconds, shot-putted 56 feet, triple jumped more than 50 feet, and won the high jump in the Big Eight Conference track and field championships three straight years. Everything else is conjecture or statements he made or made about him.

These times and distances are dubious at best. They came from an interview Wilt did as a freshman at U Kansas and were all self-reported. If he had done even some of those things, he'd have been nationally ranked and he would have been city champion in Philadelphia. He was only very elite in the high jump. In an interview a few years before his death, Wilt went even further, claiming he could run 100 yards in 9.4 or 9.5 and run the 100 meters in 10.2/10.3. That is world class level even today. It didn't happen. No gainsaying he was an amazing athlete and perhaps the greatest on the basketball court, but he was still prone to exaggeration (20,000 sexual encounters?).

@Cody Lockwood Not many fouls? Offensive fouls were touch fouls in Wilt's day. Compare that to what Shaq's era and since get away with. The rules then were way more strict not just on fouls but for ball handling too. Today's dribbling rules let todays players get away with far more than in Wilt's era. All todays cross overs would have been traveling or carrying the ball then. And the step back shots today that Harden, Luka, and everybody else uses would have been called traveling then for sure. As far as easier, that's laughable. Somebody dunk on one of huge centers in that era and next time into the paint they'd be knocked on their ass. With shoes on like they measured everybody after '73, the best centers then were 6'11" and up and most were strong athletic African Americans like Wilt, Russell, Bellamy, Nate Thurmond, etc... It wasn't easy at all. Jerry West liked to go into the paint and had his nose broken 9 times. smh

It was reported Wilt did 200 easily, while floyd did 158 drenched in sweat. I also heard that Wilt beat hof Jim Brown in a race, twice. Wilt had so many incredible feats that undoubtedly puts him as the GOAT athlete.

@David Mutchler They could be whatever he wanted them to be. With the relaxed rules on offensive fouls, the inability of the defense to hand check, and with the defenders more spread out to defend against the 3point shot, he'd be able to score every time down the court if that's what his coach wanted. But numbers would be generally down because there are about 20 less possessions per team in today's game vs. the 60's.
@buckfan1969

@David Mutchler Again, much would depend on what the coach wanted him to do. When he was with the Warriors they wanted him to score. When he came to the 76rs they had a solid team so he was asked to focus on defense and rebounding. If they wanted him to score it would be a function of how many possessions his team got. As I said earlier, with the rules of today and the 3point line, he could average 40 easily.

Having said that, Wilt was still one of the GOAT in basketball, and a top athlete period.

Man the story about Arnold avoiding him in the weight room says it all…we all know his physical abilities and skills but his strength is the most underrated part about him.

When shooting the "Conan" movie with Arnold, the insurance company weighed him. Take a look at the photo at 1:59 with Arnold and Andre; Wilt weighed 327 pounds at that time, and still looked skinny. He was solid muscle.

It really amazes me seeing that video of him at 56 yo standing there beside Shaq and Ewing. You can't tell me he isn't around 4 inches taller than Ewing who is listed at 7'0" and he looks taller than Shaq. I bet at that time it was killing him inside wanting to lace em up n go against those 2. I bet he coulda held his own in the nba at 50 yo!

I think there are some exaggerations involved in the stories of him. However, a lot of his crazy accomplishments and physical abilities are documented, so even the ones which aren't documented sound at least plausible, or at least close to the truth.

Because over half of what was claimed about Wilt is simply untrue. He had a standing reach of 9’6 and claimed to struggle to dunk on A 12 foot rim. If he had a 50 inch vertical, and a 9’6 reach, he’d be able to touch 13’8… which, by all means, wouldn’t be a tough dunk on a 12’ rim. Highest recorded vertical in game was 35” and his head was never over the basket without obscure camera angles. Wilt is one of the best athletes of all time. Maybe he had a 40” vertical in his prime, but 50 isn’t a possibility and he acknowledged it.

@@shaneking9084 the pic at 0:39 doesn't seem like an obscure angle to me. It's taken far enough away from the action that the rim is barely facing upwards.

@@seinfan9 Even then it isn't a 50" vert. Jordan we know for a fact had a 48" vert and that puts his head 6 inches over the rim at 6'6" or about eye level. At over 7" tall your head would be more than 14 inches over the rim with a 50" vert. That would almost put his chest at the rim. He never got close to that in any clip that we have available.
