"Wilt stories are like Chuck Norris jokes ... except they are true."

The thing I notice about Wilt when he dunked is that he never hung on the rim and pushed or elbowed guys the way shaq did so often. He also never lost control when he was challenged around the basket. He just overpowered the defender, but didn't try to hurt anyone. I wouldn't want to see him angry.

Wilt was faster than any center that ever played. Wilt was stronger than any center that ever played. Wilt could out jump any center that ever played.

Oh god what i would give to see him play today. MVP after MVP.

Am I the only one who gets so UPSET and ASHAMED of the fact that most basketball fan have no concept of how extraordinary of a player Wilt Chamberlain truly was??? He was a one in a million athlete and basketball player. Incredible player. They will remain ignorant tho because for the most part these basketball fans don't care about the actual sport, they're just "player fanatics" and mainstream sports media does not give the FOUNDERS OF THE GAME their proper credit and acclaim. The NBA basically didn't exist before Magic, Larry and Jordan (holy trinity lmao)... just fucking sad

The most physically dominant athlete to ever live. His sheer size was incredible to see in person. When I was a kid in 1971 or 72 my dad and I saw Wilt in LA score 23 points, grab 28 rebounds and block 15 shots at something like 36 years old. Standing next to 6-11 270 pound Bob Lanier, Wilt looked 4 or 5 inches taller and 30 or 40 pounds heavier. Lanier could literally hide behind him and you could not see him. Unbelievable sight.

I'm my opinion the greatest basketball player to play at any level.

@ 2:20 ... When Arnold GD Schwarzenegger says you're strong, then chances are you're a beast.

The greatest basketball player of all time by a mile

The greatest athlete who ever lived. Period. Out of the 100 Billion people that have ever lived, I believe he is number one!

You know Wilt is a beast when they use the same music in this highlight video, as they do when a freaking kraken sea monster is coming out of the sea in Pirates of the Caribbean.

5:29 -->WHAT DID I JUST SAW!?!?!??! 5:25-->360º

Wilt's the greatest!!! Rest in peace.

Wilt would dominate in ANY era. He was the ultimate giant athlete. Would've loved to see him destroy Shaq.

Wilt is easily the most dominant player in the history of the game. I saw Wilt play and the first time I saw him in person, I couldn't believe how big he was, unbelievable. If he had had Shaq's temperament, he would have been scary. In my opinion, Wilt is the greatest center to ever play the game. Thanks for another excellent video.

This man was a mythical being, like Paul Bunyan or the Lochness monster

Wilt Chamberlain finished with a 30.1 career scoring average, second all time. However, at the end of his scoring title run, Chamberlain had an unfathomable 39.6 career scoring average, and after his 50 point scoring average season, his career scoring average was 42.2 points per game........yeah.......

Do you notice how Wilt was careful not to damage the rim when he dunked? He just throws it in, hardly touching the rim. If he wanted to, he could have done crazy showboat dunks!

On October 12, 1999, I was in a hospital where my then seven-month-old daughter almost died from a respiratory virus called RSV. Good thing she was a large and feisty baby (she was 9.5 pounds at birth). When the nurse was taking blood, and she pulled the needle, we knew she was going to be OK. About five minutes later, I look at the TV. Sportscenter was on, but I had to mute it when the medical professionals were in the room. I look at the TV, and see a picture of Wilt Chamberlain with the caption "1936-1999." I rush to turn the volume on. I was stunned! I am an individual who is VERY stoic with serious issues such as death, but his really hit me - its impact only surpassed by Len Bias (I went to Maryland when he was there). A couple of minutes later, a nurse approaches me and notices my emotions. She says "I know you and your wife have been through a lot. Your daughter is doing great. We're just going to keep her another night for observation." I replied "Thank you, but that's not why I am emotional. They just announced Wilt Chamberlain died of a heart attack at the age of 63. Of course, the only things she knew about him was that he played basketball and claimed to sleep with 20K women. She said she was sorry, went to my wife to tell her your husband is emotional. When my wife saw the TV, she said "I don't doubt it. My husband is a sports historian and he met him personally ten years ago." Twenty years later to the day, the announcement of Wilt's death still resonates with me. There are other reasons besides the confluence of that day's events related to sports history. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

There was never a player who worked harder or longer for a championship and continuously disappointed than Jerry West. When Wilt came to the Lakers he made West smile for the first time in his career.

Wilt’s stamina is one of the many factors people overlook when they assess his impact. He never sat during games, often all season, in his 1950s and ‘60s heyday. He played 48 minutes a game, just about every game. And in his Lakers years, Wilt wasn’t aiming for 50 ppl, but he was a fine passer and defender.

To all those fanboys and know-it-all haters, if Wilt played today he wouldn't just have stronger opposition blahblahblah. He'd also have the better training and diet regimens. And the result would be a walking fucking war crime.

Wilt Chamberlain the goat of NBA centers! He was the only player I ever saw block Kareem's skyhook, awesome on offense, and defense. 💯👊😎

Wilt he has the best athletic ability in NBA all the time

Man I could watch and listen to Wilt Chamberlain stories and watch highlights of him all day!!! Not enough superlatives to describe his. X Men Apocalypse Dominance and Greatness☀♌🔥

I always Refer to the 100 Point Game. Some people think Wilt Never Scored 100 Points cause there is No Film of it. There is No Film of Gerorge Washington or Abe Lincoln, does that mean they Never Exsisted? Clearly not. 100 Points will Never be Touched.

I normally expect "old school" stuff to be tame compared to today's athletes but Wilt is still eye popping awesome. I only saw him in his Laker years. He was unbelievable as a young player.

0:26 I know that ref was scared as shit lmaoo

Modern day Wilt would have adapted to today's game because he was a total, complete 24/7 athlete who excelled in any sport he chose. Strong, fast, agile and smart. Would he score 100 pts a game? No, but he'd be an all-star in today's NBA.

footage of wilt dunking on russell and kareem all day

He wasn't a basketball player, he was an amazing athlete that happened to play basketball. Changed the game forever.

Wilt could smash that board if he wanted to, but a delayed game can be a terrible thing. So he simply just nudged it through, and run back on defense. No need for unnecessary flair, because he was practically unstoppable just jamming it home.

Wow... I have never seen some of these dunks before. Great work, thank you!

the greatest of all time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The best channel for Wilt Chamberlain highlights!!!

Wilt dominated people with quickness, finess, power, and an incredible vertical leap. He didn't need to get away with offensive fouls the way Shaq did. If you allowed Wilt unlimited offense fouls the way Shaq got, Wilt would average 200 points per game in today's NBA.

Wilt's "Baseline Dunk" move such as at 2:08 is truly amazing; not sure if anybody else ever did it. Jumping up with his head BEHIND the backboard, reaching UNDER the rim to dunk it. Requires the reach of Kareem, and the strength of Shaq, but way more vertical than Shaq could muster. Who does that leave that could also do it? Maybe Artis Gilmore?

It would be interesting to see him against Shaq - both in their prime. He was much more limber and maneuverable than O'Neal. And if LeBron tried to drive the lane against him? fugheddabout it !

Amazing. Notice how opposing players just watched or started heading up court when Wilt got the ball underneath. They knew it was "Game Over".

Absolutely love the video, highlights commentary and debates, keep up the good work my man

Wilt had really good footwork and good fake and he had the vertical leap...and his arms were so long...he's a monster.

I love this channel. You don't see a channel that is dedicated to a players greatness all the time

Thanks, we have to keep the legend of the "Big Dipper" alive. Without video, no one would believe this. He was also a tremendous shot blocker and could run with the guards. He could have lasted longer if he didn't play the whole game and if he was in today's era, he would have the longevity technology and nutrition used by LaBron and Brady. Kareem stayed very thin his whole career and didn't fall into excessive living which really helped.

Watching TV as a kid, Wilt was my favorite basketball player. Wished I could have met him.

Wilt would have loved the modern athletic game, put him with shooters and he torments every big man going.

Tricep extension is incredibly hard. 170 is freaking incredible.

Well to me after seeing his records And seeing him play in videos I have got to be live what my eyes see Wilt Chamberlain is the GOAT 🐐 No doubt about it he is the GOAT 🐐

For years I didn't understand - for years I didn't want to understand...He literally changed the free-throw rule, he altered the basket height, they forced him to play in college bc they were worried he would be too good (and the league was racist at that time): whatever he did he was amazing. I want people to understand this. 30pts, 24 rbs, 5 asts, 11 blckd shts. His first ten seasons Wilt had 12 blocks per game average - and yet they only counted the last 112 games of his carrer lol - Wilt averaged a Triple Double in his career in 30pts,24rbs, 11blcks. He averaged a Triple Double For His Career. This is a man who lifted. 6' 1" Schwarzenneger with one arm...Think about that. He lifted 8x strongest man in the world up with one arm. 15.9ft w arms. He holds over 90 NBA records (Jordan doesn't have. a dbl dbl for his career) Undefeated finals teams r an illusion. Barkley took 20m for his family to tank game 6 against Bulls. Russell lost 2 finals. '16 finals were rigged. Every great champion loses. *The true human element of sports - is to embrace the human element of the player, not the ideal. When u see the real personality is as big as the talent - that's how you understand where the talent comes from. He benched 1k pounds. I wish they had. filmed more of his games, and that he had been on a bigger market team from the start.He was stronger than Schwarzennegar, and Russel says in this video he was better than him. Russel played on the greatest sports team of all time so that's a separate conversation. I'm sad he's gone and can't believe they didn't do a better job of filming all of his games. He beat Magic one on one in a best of twelve when Magic was team captain and then proceeded to not allow a shot for the rest of the game. Ur talking about a human being that can bench press 1k pounds. A high jump, long jump champion and shot put champion. Any sport he played he was amazing. -'course he had gone to a bigger market team they'd have praised him from beginning. Final thoughts:just bc ur shoes sell doesn't make u great. Idols let u down 100% bc they are manufactured Ideals. U want real Gods look to people who lead by ex. Look to athletes that lived as people (isn't it interesting how the league doesn't want a black star ... until they decide to change their mind...?)

People dont understand that Wilt was actually a very powerful dunker. He didn't really break any backboards or rims cause he didn't hang on to it and wriggle around like he's having a seizure (like Shaq). He just threw the ball down forcefully through the rim and let go.

What is with the comparisons? Wilt holds 98 records, he retired 40 years ago. He played against 11 Hall of Fame centers, who hold the other records that he set. 7 scoring titles, 8 FG titles, 11 rebounding titles, 1 assist title, 2 rings, if not for the Celtic dynasty; 7 game series that were separated by about 9 points, more rings. Also, the high flying dunkers would think twice with Wilt standing there, if he gets a hand on the ball, there down hard! My first team: Wilt, Magic, Bird, Jordan, Malone.

Wilt looks like an absolute monster when he gets angry.

The best Big man that played the game, I wish he was here to play the ones they have now, he would destroy them thanks for the show

He could of broken the hoop with every dunk.

Lebron James + 6 inches = wilt chamberlain , best player ever

Everyone, if you're smart and you want to live, get out of the way when Wilt goes up for a dunk.

The numbers in the record books. They can't be denied, they can't be taken away.

He is the GOAT, dont care what the majority think who think Jordan, they know nothing

When he dunked it he didn't hang on the rim like a child. That's another reason Shaq seems stronger, which obviously is a bogus rumor lol

Wilt was probably the greatest athlete of the 20th century.

The dunk's name is taken from Wilt's nickname the big dipper. It's obviously inspired by the constellation but it was really because of the fact that he had to dip his head whenever he walked into a room because of how low most doorways are.

What if Wilt was still alive today and duel with Boban Marjanovic lol

Wilt was amazing! Now imagine Mike playing in the 60s..... lol Unfair!!!

Great work as always!!

Great video archive keep up the good work!!

So true about Shaq, the NBA let him get away with murder because they needed him to succeed so they could market him

what is even more remarkable wilt never could dunk with full force he always had to dunk very carefully because of the fragil backboards in the old days imagin wilt dunking on a actual backboard he would dunk completely different

To Wilt, the court was a playground -- an adult playing with kids.

I loved him when I was a kid and. respect him even more now. For my money he is the best ever.

goat

Tbh wilt is the best center in nba history of all time & the best player of all time. Wilt is even faster can most pg sg sf pf and centers of 2dy. Wat other 7'1 center do uk have a 52 inch vertical maybe even higher dan dat. If there was a conversation about the g.o.a.t then it would only about a handful of centers in da goat convo whih is Kareem shaq bill russel & hakeem. He only person 2 block da sky hook was wilt. The guy dunkedbda ball so hard wen it came down it broke a man's toe. Wilt was picking up 210-260 pound ppl which was 6'4 - 6'9 like babies. He was bench pressing 600+ wen he was 50 years old he was bench pressing 500+ he gt inducted into the volley ball hof. B4 h3 died @ 63 he was bench pressing 465. Wat other 60 year olds UK can bench pressing 460+ nobody. He's a beasf

greatest ever

GOAT. No question.

There's a rumour that he once threw the heaviest bowling ball in a bowling joint, 90 metres with ease

I'm curious how his strength would stand up to Shaq, and if his speed and finesse would overcome Shaq's pure beastly-ness.

This is the most important thing to remember: He was holding back because he didn’t want to hurt opposing players. If he wanted to, he could’ve averaged 50 for his entire career. He’s like a ghost story. People don’t believe what he did was possible. Sportswriters in the 60s treated him like a circus act.

loved wilt,,he was a giant of a man..best player ive ever seen..

who wants to become wilt chamberlain one day ?? cuz i definitly want to become wilt one day ... #G O A T

I think Wilt would still be pretty great today because there's only a handful of legit centers. But I`d love to see how he'd do in the golden age of centers back in the 80-90's cause a lot of these dunks looks like he's playing with children as far as opposing athleticism. He would`ve probably been great in any error, I just doubt at that same 50ppg caliber.

Not only Dipper dunk!!!, he had also Dipper lay up, Dipper block and even Dipper fade away. He made you crap every time.

A 36 year old , sore kneed wilt held a young Kareem to 58 for 140 in last 4 games 72 wcf playoffs which really decided the championship that year. I never saw any center of the 80s play a old Kareem that tough ....what a legend

It baffles me how athletic and strong he was for his 7'1" 280 300 lb frame.

Jordan isn't even in the same sentence as Wilt...

Wilt was INCREDIBLE!

Greatest Center Of All Time. Wilt could run the floor, block shots from the top of the backboard, Pass, rebound, handle the ball (He was a globetrotter), could score, up and under, finger rolls, hook shots, turnaround fadeaway bank shots, dunks of course. He battled Russell, Prime Kareem, Willis Reed plus other solid Centers. He was stronger than Kareem, more skilled than Shaq. Only center with more skills was probably Hakeem. Thats about it. RIP Wilt. Top 5 All Time.

Wilt Chamberlain would easily dominate today's game.

Wish the was more footage of the games he played, WOW!

I love You Tube. I get to watch Wilt Chamberlain play any time I want to now. He's the GOAT and ain't NOBODY even close to him. Jordan sure wasn't.

The Goat!

Wilt was and still is the best!!!!!

There are 2 clips here that have remained a mystery to me, and I'd appreciate it if anyone could shed some light. The first is at 5:25. I think this is probably from the 1962-63 season, and the play starts with Al Attles passing the ball to Wayne Hightower, who then feeds the ball to Wilt. My question is "Why is the guy guarding Wilt wearing what appears to be a warm-up jacket"? I'm reasonably sure that team on the court with the Warriors is the Pistons because the court has the unique wall of the Cobo Arena. So the guy in the jacket is most likely 7'0" Piston center Walter Dukes. If this is a real game, it seems inconceivable that the refs would allow a player to wear something that does not have a number on it.

legend

Much Gratitude.

One of the best athletes of all time in any sport.

The showed clips on here of Wilt dunkin with HIS ARMPITS OVER THE RIM! 275LBS+

I notice a lot of his opponents would duck or just get the hell out of the way when he went up for the dunk.

Great job with this video

The **TRUE GOAT!!!!** DOMINATIONNNN BIG TIME!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥

OL'🐐👑WILT CHAMBERLAIN#13 .. DA MOST DOMINANT ATHLETE IN DA HISTORY OF SPORTS ..

1971-1972 Lakers was the best lakers Team. Wilt Played the defensive anchor. Winning Rebounding Title. Considering he is in the twilight of his career. Chamberlain is arguably the 1&2 interchangeable with MJ on GOAT. He just played an ERA we consider the softest, but came out writing the book of NBA Records that some will never be broken. I am sad i ddn't have the opportunity to watch him play an unfair basketball game, but thank goodness he was a gentle giant, not the War mongering players of the 80's.

Wilt was the greatest athlete in human history. No one else is even close. Except george santos
