@dantheman9758 so what players wear there shoes anyway so there gonna go from 6'9 to 6'11 like d howard, All wilt had to do was back down in the post and thats an easy 2 70% of the time because no one was powerful enough to stop him, also back then the lane was alot smaller so they had to make it wider because he was to dominate. you notice how he got 25 rebounds a game thats because the players back then were some what short and the tall players didnt know how to use there height like wilt
@Humes53 how does dwight howard suck for his height? Hes 6"11 and his verticle is crazy. Sure wilt would probally dominate shaq and howard but id say he would get 60+ on dwight and 70+ on shaq But shaq in his prime was a beast and and howard is way better than any center in the league. Michael jordan is still the greastest player ever because he dominated without an advantage. Wilt had and advantage cause hes 7"3 with playing with 6"9 guys who were bums except bill russell and a few otheirs, bu
@jmanmoney54 dude Howard is 6'9. NBA measures players in their shoes. Look at his draft day height for facts.
And did you watch this video? NOBODY else blocked a skyhook but Wilt (except Hakeem once when Kareem was like 75 years old).
You want to say it's BAD for a basketball player to be tall? man that's fruity. Tell that to any general manager any team any league anywhere in the WORLD. They take the taller stronger faster guy EVERY LAST TIME.
@jmanmoney54 DWIGHT HOWARD IS ONLY 6' 9"! Nba list heights since 1985 are all "in shoes height". It's BS to compare pre-'85 players to NBA.com. The NBA draft barefoot height of Dwight was 6 foot 9 dead even. Want more heights? Dwane Wade 6' 3", Amare Stoudemire 6' 8.5". The 1985 shoe height rule leads people to falsely believe all of the sudden players got taller, reality check is they didn't. Wilt is 7'1 barefoot and more athletic than Dwight he's the best specimen to ever come out of the NBA
@jmanmoney54 My point of the previous post being, past players that played in the era of Wilt are a lot bigger than most people realize, Nate Thurmond for example was 6' 11" barefoot and was as jacked as Dwight Howard, the dude was a BEAST but because of the stupid shoe heights of 1985 onward we are all mislead to believe he's the same size as guys today who are actually much smaller than he is. You have to hunt for draft measurements of present players to get the real story on their size
@jmanmoney54 Would not agree about that ,Wilt dropped 63 points on Nate Thurmond a guy which actually outplayed Kareem in his best scoring and rebounding seasons and was the toughest Kareem's opponent in his career , as Kareem said .
Wilt would destroy Shaq and Howard in his prime and foul both of them out in the first half. Shaq and Howard can;'t get their tootsies off the ground. Wilt had a 36 inch vertical leap and was track star. He would run their asses off up and down the court. Shaq is a fat slob and Howard for his height stinks. Wilt would average over 70 a game today in the watered down NBA of 33 teams! Wilt is the greatest ever and holds half of the NBA records. Today's NBA sucks compared to the 60's and 70s
most people just can't comprehend wilt chamberlain,so they deride players like russell,baylor,west ,robertson or they try to adjust wilts numbers to the less athletic players of today,wilt would force a faster pace of play because he could,no one,not even smaller guards could run with wilt for 48 min.
Some cown posted Wilt was weak in 70's...I see him blocking Kareems sky hook a few different times,still rebounding ,still playing great defense and still scoring when he wanted or needed to but with 2 hof on team he played a role to win another championship...
GOOGLE JABBAR OPEN LETTER TO PIPPEN FROM EARLIER THIS WEEK....
KAREEM WHO HATED WILT CALLS CHAMBERLAIN THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME!!
Quote: "You obviously never saw Wilt Chamberlain play who undoubtedly was the greatest scorer this game has ever known. When did MJ ever average 50.4 points per game plus 25.7 rebounds? "
"...Simply put the number of players that could have stopped Wilt Chamberlain in his prime has not increased."
When he scored 100 points, the final score was 169-147 in regulation! Teams rarely scored over 110 points per game with overtime, even if they hit 47% of their field goal... in the 60's team had 42% (FG%)... a margin of 5% with better defensive strategies!
Average team in the 60's: 42% FG, 116PPG VS
Average team in the 2000's: 47% FG, 101PPG
No way Wilt would score 70, 50, 40 or even 30 with ease
Players with 30PPG in the 60’s (9), players with 30PPG in the 2000’s (5)
Wilt's game was more complex too. Instead of trying to muscle in his way for a dunk 90% of the time, Wilt resorted to running hooks, fingerrolls and jumpers from 12ft. away from the rim. Even at 7-1, 275 lbs, Wilt being a track athlete would be in better conditioning too.
Wilt would never even come CLOSE to getting the 37+ FGA per game to average 70, nor are there that many rebounds available in today’s game to grab 55. Teams don't even have the opportunity to grab that many and 1 man would grab all of them? Pace of play is different, as is the game in general... when he grab 55 against Boston, his whole team took 83TRB!
@KuggeR23 It was because of Micheal Jordan. He's the first to wear the long shorts; he said he was just being different in a sense. since no one really liked the shorty shorts it sort of caught on.
i say wilt today would never score that much as he did in his career, he was already weak in the 70's when basketball become more developed. back in his prime the players didnt know much about defense and the game was simple, mj would've scored easily 50pts+ with his game in the 50's or 60's
@globalplayer1988 you do know wilt chamberlains scoring went down on purpose right? I think it was about 1968 when his coach asked him to play different, more like bill russell to be exact.
@globalplayer1988 If you drop Wilt into today's NBA he would be bigger, stronger, faster, healthier, and with access to AAU basketball his fundamental basketball skills would be better. Taking that into consideration he would most likely dominate, maybe not to the extent he did in the 50s & 60s, nevertheless he would dominate.
A wilt Chamberlain in HIS PRIME in Todays league wouldn't be averaging no 40-50 points a game.. not a fukin chance.....hed be good.. but not DOMINANT...
@squig792000 Wilt in his prime was a lean 300. A combination of Shaq and Howard. He would lead the league in scoring, rebounding, double doubles, and FG% today. The guy leading the league in rebounding today is a 6'10. slow, can't jump, white guy. Wilt led the league in rebounding his last year in the league when he was well past his prime, over 18 per game and there were plenty of 7 footers in 72-73. He shot a record 72% that yr also, on bad knees his final yr in the league.
minute bol and yao ming had more height adv on their opponents then wilt did, but i dont see them EVER scorin 100 pts, avg 50 ppg, 27 reb and a sports reporter recorded his blocks in a random game and he had 25...25!!! this was before they recorded blocks as a stat so the nba record is just 17. wilt should b wit oscar robertson avg a triple double. Wilt was an amazing athelet nd the BEST player in the nba. fuck anyone who says different.
p.s. Wilt also won the Big 8 high jump competition three years in a row. And run the 100 yd in sub 11 seconds. And throw the shot put 54 feet. So he was an incredible athlete in a big body, not just another tall lump.
You have to look at things in perspective. In the 61-62 season Wilt averaged 50.4 ppg, second was Walt Bellamy at 31.6 ppg. In the 91-92 season Jordan averaged 30.1 ppg, second was Karl Malone at 28 ppg.
@mocrg hey Dumbass... did you see the competition LEVEL back in 61-62.. how many 7-footers did you see.. or even 6"10, or 6"11 guys? how many Dwight Howards, Tim Duncans, Kevin Gartnetts, Pau Gasol, Kobe Bryants, Michael Jordan's, Lebron James' did you see? If in 61-62 they \had all these talented guards like today, no fukin way would Wilt score so much.
More like 48 inches. Look it up..I remember the centers then,, all huge men.. Bob Lanier, when asked of his most memorable moment in the NBA was said, 'When Wilt moved me like a coffee cup.' And Bob was 6'11" and 270 lbs and a Hall of Famer.// Walt Frazier said watching Wilt was almost comical.. They had to change the rules of the game because of him..
The NBA today 33 teams is so watered down Wilt would average 70 a game if he wanted. The level of competetion is crap compared to the 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's. It gets worse every year, garbage ball today. West and Oscar way better than Jordan. Wilt had a 36 inch vertical leap, Shaq can't get off his tippy toes!
Wrong dummy! Wilt played initially when there were only eight teams so the top 80 players in the world played. Wilt faced a quality center every night. Ever since the NBA has been expanding and when you do that you WATER DOWN the product. Nate Thurmond was 7 foot and black, Kareem 7foot 3 and black, Willis Reed 6-11 and black, Russell 6-9 and black, Bob Lanier 6-11 and black, Walt Bellamy 7 foot and black, Zelmo Beatty 7 foot and black. So much for your theory about short white centers vs WC
NBA HALL OF FAME Speech.Wilt says his thanks and Then We as Fans realize 100 pts,50pt average ,league assists,Rebounds,leader,blocked shots(weren't all recorded) till later in career;AND A TRUE GENTLEMAN AND AMBASSADOR OF THE GAME! A GIANT FOR HIS AND ETERNAL TIME.
Wilt once snagged 55 rebounds in a playoff game. The opponent was Boston and their center was a guy named Russell! Wilt did things that will never, ever be seen again!
@Humes53 thats because most of the guys he played against were much shorter and white. the real basketball era was during the kareem hakeem MJ Drob ewing era. man thats was the golden age of basketball.
Kevin Garnett said he felt like a little kid when he met Wilt. And that is what he would be if he had played against Wilt in Wilt's prime. Wilt said he could have scored 100 on a few nights, but what was the point? But to AVERAGE 50 points a game blew KG's mind, as it should have. Wilt is the King of basketball and anyone who thinks otherwise probably never saw Wilt play in his prime or just doesn't know better. Teams don't get 55 rebounds in a game today, but
Wilt was the Greatest!
