[@klavzerblut]

Wilt is so damn alpha. I see he is too smart for most of NBA fans to even understand what he is saying. Wilt is right.

[@klavzerblut]

UbyTuesday You clearly don't know what you are talking about. Wilt was always better than Russell in their playoff series. Russell is considered a playoff God, yet Wilt was still better than him. Grow up.

[@klavzerblut]

UbyTuesday Yeah, so? He was still better. Great coaches are hard to find. Wilt was tired and needed rest, and he was the only one who kicked ass in the game. Russell regularly missed practice, because he was bored with it and didn't like it at all. The only difference was that Auerbach gave a tired Russell a break, while Wilt was given shit and bitching. Wilt did exactly what coaches asked of him, even when he didn't like them. Now that is a professional.

[@kristjanklavzer7821]

UbyTuesday You are pathetic. Focusing on FTs. Well every human knows Wilt was bad at FTs. What about FGs, rebounds, assists, defence, keep ignoring these things. Wilt did what he was asked to do on the court. Wilt played like he was asked to. Of course he didn't agree with coaches on some occasions. Of course he didn't, because the coaches mostly werent ready for a player of his caliber (which was one of a kind). They didn't know how to use him. He brought so many weapons, yet his coaches and teams failed to use him. When you try and make Wilt seem to be doing worse than his team mates, you are destroying your credibility. FTs were the only category where Wilt was not the best and even there he made many points from the FT line. His teams also took many many FTs, usually way more than opponents, who were forced to make most points from the field (low %, especially the man Wilt was guarding). Wilt commited very few fouls and forced his man to shoot mostly from the field. He dramatically reduced FG% to every player he guarded and he reduced FG% of TEAMs FFS. He also won way more possessions with his insane number of rebounds than he lost with his misses. Do you even realise what the ability to won more possessions than you lose means? Add the ability to score many points and reduce opponents FG% and you got yourself the GOAT.

[@klavzerblut]

UbyTuesday When you blame Wilt for 1969 game 7 INJURY, you show that there is no point in debating with you. You are sooo full of shit man. The fact is, that only his FTs were his weakness and he was at the very top of every other category. Do you really think Rodman would have 40 rebounds a game with balls bouncing all over the place? The fact is that Wilt outrebounded every center he ever faced, was by far the best rebounder of his time and led the league in rebounds per game for 11 fucking seasons. He was the best rebounder in the vast majority of games he played. And yes, rebounds are very fucking important. Wilt had 26% of available rebounds in his last fucking game. The fact that he set the rebounding record on Russell should tell you something. You are just a hater.

Well not really If he took more shot his percentage will naturally diminish. Taking more shot means that you gonna be less selective with the shot you take.

In those days the NBA finals, as far as NBC, CBS, and ABC were concerned, couldn't replace a rerun of the Beverly Hillbillies. It may have been a golden age of basketball as he describes it.

[@massdagod]

there were 80 more possessions in Wilts day... Wilts team steadily averaged over 131+ possessions a game while the NBA as a whole averaged over 125+ possessions a game. todays and in the jordan era teams averaged 89 to 95 on average. In fact, Jordans bulls in the 80's and early 90's were among the teams w/ the least possessions a game in those years. On top of that, the league shot close to and under 40% fg shooting for seasons at a team, compared to the 80's, and 90's 46% to 49% NBA average fg shooting. you couple in the fast pace, 80+ more possessions a game and low fg% of back then and you get more points and much more rebound opportunities. I say that to say this. per 100 possessions, Michael Jordan destroys every player in the league in terms of scoring average.. including wilt. Per 100 possessions a game, wilts ppg average sits around 23ppg for a career, whereas jordans shits at 41.4ppg. and percentage while, dennis rodman by far is the greatest rebounder ever sitting at 23.4% of every available rebound. if rodman played with the fast pace, 80+ more possessions, much lower fg percentages and literally 70+ more total rebounds in wilts era, Rodman would have averaged 30+ rebounds a game for 6 seasons...all while playing 11 less minutes a game than wilt. these are facts, the way possessions played a big role in players back then statistical domination. there would have been 8 or 9 players who would have averaged a triple double for a season back in wilt/oscars day. jason kidd, michael jordan, lebron james, larry brid, magic johnson, grant hill and fat lever to name a few, with magic and bird averaging a triple double for a career, let alone just a couple season. the only argument one can make for the players back then were that they had the stamina to run up and down the court to keep the pace so high and the players from the 80's, 90's and 2000's wouldnt have the stamina to keep up.. my argument is this, if the players back then would have slowed the pace down, they would have shot much better fg%'s than they did back then overall... If im not mistaken, the championship team, 59 boston celtics shot 38%fg for the entire season. thats just pathetic.

I have read 2 of his books and many now on players of that period who played with him. Wilt was thee most dominant athlete ever to play basketball. Rings aside which by the way is a lame why to measure ones career in a TEAM sport. Wilt was a track star at Kanas and basketball star. The records he holds as a individual will never come close to being broken. Jordan and his dominants is no where near Wilt's. Never has there been a more dominant player in any time frame in basketball. And if anyone says that the league wasn't as hard back then you need to do some research. Again rings should not completely determine one's career so I believe. If you want to use that logic than Bill Russell is the greatest player ever without debate.

Also, off topic, Wilt said no one had ever made a claim against him for sexual assault. At the time he was correct. Unfortunately, 22 years after his death, Elvira made a claim of that nature against him.

Wish wilt lived longee,what an interview!!!

[@TheChameleonCarroll]

Smart man

[@jimmyevans6129]

Wow, he is the same age here that I am. We both look good.

[@richdouglas2311]

Not "The Stilt." Wilt HATED that moniker. He preferred "The Big Dipper," given to him as a youngster because he had to dip his head to walk through most doorways.

[@Gerkinstock]

I don't think there are too many people who will look back at the 60s as The Golden Age of the NBA.

[@Gerkinstock]

It wasn't weak but players today are, on average, better than those who played 20-25 years ago. And in 20 years very few people will say the 90s was The Golden Age of anything. There will be #5 players who have skills only the superstars had in the 90s.

[@Gerkinstock]

Correct. Very few = not many, small number.

[@hardcorehouse]

He played in to the 70s, and in many sports that WAS the golden era. Now of course the common retort is that the players are bigger and better now...sure, but (1) that doesn't automatically make for great teams, and (2) as Wilt has correctly said, the amount of DILUTION in all sports is striking, and results in far less competitiveness that used to make for good games. Now we wait for parts of the playoffs for better games.

[@hardcorehouse]

Was? Is! If you look at compilations of best ever teams in the major sports, most were in the 70s-80s or earlier.

[@FirstPlace97]

Everything gets progressively worse; people are only perceived to be more efficient due to science and engineering/ what's-in-the-food-these-days. There won't be another Ali, Jordan, Federer, Jesse Owens, Babe Ruth, etc. Wilt is still the most dominant of all time.

[@gregory8901]

Shame how players can't be themselves in the NBA anymore. They have to be marketable.

[@lrcdlc9446]

HES SO WISE

[@mikeprivette4180]

Wilt was a physical BEAST and I think he would be great in any era but he also played against a lot less athletic people back in those days.

[@judithmcnamara7033]

The athletes in his day understood team play.a team that plays great together will beat any great individual player just ask jordan about losing to the great celtics teams of the 80s.not great athletes mostly slow white guys but they swept jordan 2 years in a row thats right they were 6-0against jordan.

[@JordanFan78]

Wait, the difference is the Wilt was taking shots in the paint against lesser competition, whereas Jordan was taking mostly jump shots at still 50%. Wilt is very bitter at Jordan but he should be bitter at Russell who out played him and won 11 championships. Stats are garbage if you ain’t winning championships which Jordan did both

[@tahayldrm1579]

Nobody, no one even in combat disciplines had to constantly hold back to not kill some other top level athlete by mistake. Most OP athlete ever by far.

[@MisterFoster74]

I believe Wilt was sacrificed by them he was born in 1936 died in 1999 at 63 MJ was born in 1963 won 6 rings when Wilt passed MJ was 36 years old

[@anastasiostapsas9902]

Ladies and gentleman, the GOAT.

[@jkaradell]

That's not Gary Miller, that's Chris Myers.

[@TwoThreeForever]

Amen.

[@yoe91]

10:58 "so why is there a problem ?" (about sleeping with all these women). It's an amazing contradiction, when he begins this video blaming the trickle down effect of money. It's the same way here: if you're promiscuous a lot, you make society that bit more promiscuous. That would be the problem, Wilt.

[@loilt5091]

👉G 🏀 A T👈 His legendary athleticism transcended basketball, to track and field, pro volleyball, the weight room, the bedroom & beyond. ☆ Quite simply, a once-in-a-century, athletic phenomenon❗️

[@imjustchillin8019]

he would be disgusted with today's NBA by the way he's talking

[@TwoThreeForever]

I appreciate the correction.
