NBA: Wilt Chamberlain is the Greatest of All Time

[dbestpro]

athletically gifted, but doesnt mean he was playing at 110% abusing his abilities against midgets....

The 60's era in which Wilt played, was a more physical era. There were no sissy flagrant or hand-check fouls during that time. Refs allowed those physical tactics go unpunished because the owners and NBA management believe that blood and violence was what brought people to basketball games back then. Every team had a center that was 6-9 or taller with most being 6-10 or taller. These centers carried weight and strength, not like the toothpicks of today.

He may have been an incredible athlete but damn he looks so soft in games I have seen of his with that little finger roll when he should have been flushing on s constantly like prime Shaq.

he
He dunked a ball so hard that it hit the foot of another player, Johnny "Red" Kerr after it passed through the hoop and broke his foot. Wilt would be a man among boys in any basketball generation.

Wilt choked too much. He's probably somewhere down on Jordan's level.

Who the calls themselves "cute" and expects anyone to not want to instantly take a on them?

There were only 8 teams when Wilt played. Imagine all the best players today jammed onto only 8 teams.

Wilt for sure was the greatest athlete in NBA history. He was going to fight Ali for the heavyweight championship in the early 70s but it fell through after Ali lost to Frazier.

I hear Wilt once dribbled the ball so hard in his street hoops days that he cracked the pavement.

I wouldn't say he "choked to Russell" considering he thoroughly outplayed Russell individually. Russell could not stop Wilt at all, but Wilt could stop Russell. The Celtics were the superteam of that time, and Wilt didn't have the help, sort of like Lebron today.

He would have gotten clowned on by Ali.

i will give u an example,

say u had a 33inch vertical leap, u tellin me every attempt at a rebound, blocking a jumpshot u be using ur full 33inch vert? the only time these cats use the full 33inch is when they going up for a dunk

now if ur playin on the street without rules, how many are going to use the full 33inch jumping over ppls backs grabbin rebounds?
