He would also have the block shot record if they kept it back then. The most dominant center EVER to play in the NBA.

It should be "Wilt Chamberlain dominated basketball courts like no player ever , his legendary phisical strenght no mach for no player ever " .
-
@halokid26 false, it is estimated wilt averaged 8-10 blocks per game
-
@halokid26 Lol what makes you say that ? Reporter Harvey Pollack who watched both players during their careers said that Russell blocked shots but not as manny as Wilt .
-
@Straightouttalcatrez false, Russell would have owned it if they kept track
-
@juslom2002 didn't exist back then
-
Wilt himself admitted later that he was exaggerating to prove some kind of a point. That part always gets left out today...

Thanks for posting. Just one correction: at 0:11, the announcer says "upon leaving the U of Kansas ...", but actually Wilt played one year with the Globetrotters before joining the NBA. Also, I love the photo at 0:33. Never saw that one before. Walt Bellamy was a great center who doesn't get much recognition nowadays. I've read a story that I think the first time Wilt and Bells met in an NBA game, Wilt blocked Walt's first 7 (or so) shots.

Yeah, Bells sure picked the wrong season to drop 31 and 19 per game as a rookie. Scoring took a backseat to Wilt and Baylor, and rebounding to well, I shouldn't have to name the duo.
