Old days had way better manners

Victor I would say that it wasn’t as competitive back then, and there isn’t as much ego or media coverage as there is now.

@@KDSRirelandboy1 It was way more competitive back then.

nomibe2911 I mean, its hard to back that statement with facts, I suppose we don’t know how competitive it was, but like any game, there definitely was, and still is, competition, and competitiveness always follows. I would say the 80’s/90’s was the height of competitiveness, with a lot of rules trying to be implemented into the game to stop so much of the physicality that thrived off of the overly competitive spirit. You would get deliberate elbows flying into skulls, faces, necks, chests, anywhere it would really rattle someones cage. Just because you didn’t want to give up easy shots. Fair enough but the dirty actions weren’t necessary, unless you wanted to win. Pride, Competitiveness, you can never say there wasn’t any competitiveness, but I honestly think the 60’s were not AS competitive.

You obviously haven't heard interviews with these people.

Muresan was 7’7 or 7’6 what do you expect

Prob not because he had to jump ball against Bill Russell so often

@Wilt Chamberlain GOD of NBA Nate Robinson blocked him once from behind, do you really think that he could win 1 jump ball against Yao though?

@@pet3r387 Actually Nate was right in from him, Yao got over confident tho

@Wilt Chamberlain GOD of NBA I am not dumb. Just inbecile.

Crazy thing that guy he threw was 6’6 235lb gus johnson who was considered the lbj of this time.

jj169327, 6’7”, Wilt dislocated Gus’ shoulder with a block in a game. Gus broke two backboards in his career, never done before.

Sup man I love your vids.

Im beginning to think the reason for all those boards and points is because his teammates missed a lot

Yet you still rank jordan at #1 when we both know wilt would dominate the 90s and 2000s

Why don’t they In this Era give him the credit he deserves. I have him number 2 to MJ And the Argument can be made he’s number 1 GOAT He’s definitely the greatest physical Specimen in Modern times. Last 100 years.

@@melvinstapleton6133 Classy, respectful comment. I have Wilt at number one, for the, more than outstanding rebounding, and shot blocking, and the assists, plus the scoring, in his scoring heyday. Not trying to argue, and I respect anybody's valid choice for their GOAT, as long as respect, like in your comment, is shown for my choice. Thanks.

I agree! He was an extraordinary athlete. Some of the stories about the various things he did were unbelievable. He could palm a bowling ball without putting his fingers in the holes. High jumping close to 7' using the scissors kick, triple jump, shot put, etc. He would have been the leading scorer if he had played as long as Kareem. Never fouling out of a game, dunking from the foul line, breaking a players foot after dunking, and the ball hit the opponents foot. Wilt was probably related to Hercules. I did here that he had a house on Mt. Olympus and use to have dinner with Zeus. G.O.A.T. 1. Wilt, 2. Jabbar, 3. Jordan, 4. Lebron, 5. Kobe. Remember, many rules of the game were changed because of Wilton Norman Chamberlain.

Facts!

He's not stronger than Shaq wat is wrong with you wilt stans ?? Who convinced yall that is true ???

More than anybody else, I'm pretty certain. My regular season estimate is between 10,000-11,000.

@David Mutchler Quite possibly so, especially including playoff games.

@MDO If Wilt were playing today, I'm certain he would neutralize the three point shooting on which so many teams rely. Watch the vids in slo-mo of him blocking. Most of them were short range and he'd jump up just as the shot was released and still get the block. Threes take a lot longer to get to the basket so he'd be able to just position himself near the basket and either catch the ball or block it. And being the smart player he was, never goal tend.

Joshua C Connor honestly man if he played angry for his whole career damn might of ended a lot of people’s careers

Wilt Chamberlain GOD of NBA exactly like man he was the strongest nba player ever and for him not to use his full strength in his games must of been hard for him

Some asst manager was supposed to have said God in his infinite wisdom decided to make Wilt a nice person, which is just as well, because he could have killed us all with his left hand alone.

@@Lii_2325 wilt played hard but not angry...he didn't want to hurt anyone...very powerful man. Peace...

When Wilt was angry, he took over games completely. For example, Kareem pissed off Wilt for what Wilt felt was a cheap shot to his teammate Happy Hairston under the basket while Hairston lay on the floor - Wilt was super pissed and a ref had to step between Wilt and Kareem. Wilt was essentially playing on one good knee after a nasty knee cap injury sustained in '69 but he still took over the game in the 4th and dominated Kareem. The Lakers won that game, the playoff series, and Wilt went on to be the finals MVP, leading the Lakers to the chip. True story.

time stamp?

You want to see footage of how dominant Wilt was: ESPN's Sports Century Wilt Chamberlain.

Aaron Hensley because of willing to pass...

❤️ watching oldies nba basketball 🏀 1940s/ 1950s nba was the set shot era ;; George mikan King 🤴 of nba basketball

Yes. Oscar tried to push him off with his left arm and paid for it. Big mistake.

Wilt wasn't even trying he didn't wanted to end Oscar Robertson career

Correct. Chick Hearn pointed it out regularly during his broadcasts.

Golden days of all.star games

❤️ oldies star nba basketball games, 1960s/ 1970s,, dr.j used put on a magic show

Wilt block a bunch of jabbar skyhook

Jerry Smooth lol!! put Wilt in Kareem’s place in those lakers, same result if not more rings.

Jerry Smooth haha I don’t see Kareem scoring 100 points or getting 55 rebound

@@jerrysmooth24 baseball hall of fame does not throw away, babe ruth, ty cobb, walter Johnson, , etc etc stuff just because they got randy johnson, hank aaron,,willie mays, pete rose stuff,etc etc, i got great respect for George mikan, meil Johnson, Bob petitt 1950 basketball players

@@G123G wilt played with hal greer nate thurmond guy rodgers and billy cunningham his teams were only marginally worse than bill russell's but he put stats above winning and lost wilt is probably the greatest athlete ever but not the greatest basketball player

I used to be like that until I started watching vids like this. I think overall obviously the players today are more athletic as a whole but I didn’t realize how athletic players like Wilt and Bull Russell were regardless of the time.

@@americaninsurgent4403 And that's actually the league and, I hate to say this, NBA TV's fault as well. They don't want to broadcast old games from that era, perhaps for fear of making today's talent look bad, even though there are numerous full games available. I do commend you for doing your research on something like this though, kudos.

It's impressive that after all of that Gus Johnson is still making his way in comedy to this day. That man just doesn't know how to quit on himself.

@@VinylUnboxings Amen, too bad he passed away in '87, wish I could've met him.

@@mr.research4811 I think you're confused, he released a video on KZfaq recently

Wilt Chamberlain GOD of NBA *wes unseld. That’s where love got it from.

Wilt has A gun!!!

Wilt blocking everything

ezekiel mohammed Hakeem The Dream !

@@jimsimpson3334 Bill Russell, Gene Wiley, LeRoy Ellis, Walter Dukes, Dwayne Deadmon, KG, etc

He was just jogging imagine if he actually ran

This was wilt chamberlain when he weighted like 300 pounds 275 pounds wilt chamberlain was even faster could jump much higher and was more agile

who ....the basement idiots or generation x those opinions I don't even listen too I was born in that era so I know and that's all that counts ...hardest era ever !

@Wilt Chamberlain GOD of NBA wow

Both teams played really hard on both ends. It was for pride against the other players, not a dunk demo.

They really played with pride during that era

Me.

Thurmond and Russell had triple-doubles in the all-star game at least once. Russell in '65 and probably '63 as well(don't have block total yet, but pretty certain he did). Thurmond in '67.

Forgiven Sinner did y’all watch the all star game this year

maniac1075 it doesn’t matter 94, 95. I believe it.

NBA all star game they played defense

So is giannis why u think they call him the greek freek

@@patricialucero1767 wilt is still bigger more athletic and more skilled than what Giannis will ever be

@@Rvench Lol old heads

@@patricialucero1767 I'm not old I just know the game better than you bud just watch some wilt highlights and do your research. He's the only player to ever to have multiple quintuple double games and that's when they didn't record blocks or steals

@@Rvench Lol I probably know more than you and how else are u supposed to know about players be an old school and watch the t.v to find your info you gotta do research if you dont know something only obvious ik probably more old players than you maybe not saying ik everything but ik a lot of ppl too like sam jones k.c jones walt Frazier all these goats in case you think I'm those kids who say lebron is the goat or something

Like he was a child, Gus Johnson? 6’7” 230?

Love those classic gym shorts

It used to be a fine and fun game to watch. I used to look forward to it. The last 10 to 15 years or so it has truly become unwatchable.

Couldn; t pay. me to. watch an all star game baseball only good one

It took the Sixers three years to put together a team around Wilt to beat the better established Celtic's team where players had been together for three ti eight years and when the Sixers did they had the best NBA regular season record to that point 68-14 and beat the Celtics to end the Celtic's successive stranglehold on title runs then the Sixers beat the Warriors for the title. I watched that Celtics v Sixers game as a little kid, it was the talk of the community.

@Tuco The Rat Who is that idiot?

You want the game he scored 100 points in Hershey Pa. vs...... Warriors or 55 Rebs vs Boston Celtics ? Bill Russell !

Excellent list, except for one thing: Why do you have Kobe ahead of Oscar? For me, if I'm making out a top-10 list, I cannot, and will not, exclude the Big O.
