    Right about the time this documentary was made, I was a teenager trying to get a basketball scholarship. I found a way to sneak into the Palestra late at night. Made a deal with the night custodian. I would do some work for him, then he'd leave and I'd shoot from 11pm to 1am or so with just one spotlight over one basket on. Pitch dark except for a cone of light out to about the three point line (gradually dimmer further from the hoop) then suddenly dark. It was spiritual, like basketball church. I've played and done drills on literally hundreds of courts of all types all over the country. But shooting from the darkness and seeing the ball go in under the light... in the greatest gym in the world was the best feeling. I haven't been back in many years, but that period and those late nights are one of my best memories.

    In high school, before I went away to play on scholarship, I had a way to get into the Palestra late at night and practiced from 10-11pm past midnight many nights. Just one basket spotlight on. Pitch dark except for a cone of light from the hoop to pretty much right at the 3 point line. It was almost like basketball church. In those conditions the sound, sight, and feeling of a perfect deep jumper (shot from the dark into the light) is something that can't be described... only experienced.

    The only other player you could argue that had multiple rule changes made primarily because of his dominance was Dick (Night Train) Lane. His face mask tackle was made illegal, and then his close line tackle was made illegal. Then he creates the forearm shiver, which not too long after also became illegal.

    MJ scored 50+ points 31 times for career, Kobe did it 25 times. Wilt did it 45 times in a single season. Nobody except Wilt Chamberlain ever recorded a 30-20 avg season - Wilt did it for career. Wilt scored 40 pts average for 6 consecutive seasons (515 games). Next in list is Elgin Baylor with 33 games. Wilt has more 30-30 games than the whole rest of the league combined. Wilt also has more 60 points games than the whole rest of the league combined. Wilt blocked 23 shots in a single game on full video footage (1968 xmas day game vs Suns). He grabbed 55 rebounds in a single game w/o overtime vs the #2 all time leader in rebounding, Bill Russell (Wilt is rank #1). He scored 62 points in a single game w/o overtime on the argueable best defender of all times, Bill Russell. No doubt he is the GOAT. Imagine averaging 50-25 for a season and don't getting the MVP trophy. Happened to Wilt 1962 - they gave it to Bill Russell (19-23). Nobody roots for Goliath. NBA did and does his best to make us forget about the greatness of Wilt Norman Chamberlain.

      See the dudes Wilt is playing against? Average players today at your local YMCA would beat most of those guys they’re barely 6 foot, non athletic, don’t have much skill and are extremely uncoordinated. Wilt is still amazing, I’m not denying that. He would be great in any era but he doesn’t average more than 30-35 ppg in today’s NBA even in his prime.

    • @spaltersar
      @spaltersar 10 месяцев назад

      @@kissmyvansdude It's quite simple: Embiid averaged 33.1 ppg playing 34.6 mpg avg last season (MVP), and is averaging 35.3 ppg playing 34 mpg avg for the actual season. Wilt was able to play 48 min per game in his prime (45.8 mpg avg for career, never fouled out) at full throttle on even higher pace than today. Do the math. I can't understand why people think he wouldn't dominate games today while watching Giannis and Embiid already doing it. Wilt was superior to both of them in any physical aspect. Don't confuse evolution of the game with talent and Basketball IQ. Wilt would adapt to todays game like he adapted to any sport he competed in at high level (volleyball, track&field, etc.). You act like they had the brain capacity of neandertalers back in the 60s. Prime Wilt scored 48 pts (62 max) or more pts on Bill Russell (argueable the greatest defender of all times) and the 1962 Celtics (7 HoF players) 5 times in a single season. He also grabbed 55 rebounds vs Bill Russell (#2 all time rebounder) in a single game w/o overtime 1967. If you consider this as weak competition I can't help. A year 2000 born Wilt Norman Chamberlain benefitting from improved gear (esp. court, shoes, board and hoop), medical care, nutrution, training facilities and methods, information technology, transport, etc. would DESTROY todays league. He was a true athlete up there with Bo Jackson and Jim Thorpe. btw: From 1973-2019 players were measured with shoes. Wilt and his competition were measured barefoot. Difference in average height of starting centers 1963 compared to 2021 is less than a half inch. Difference in average height of all starting players 1963 compared to 2021 is also less than a half inch. Some players Wilt faced: HoF centers: Nate Thurmond (6'11", 235 lbs.) Walt(er) Bellamy (6'11", 225 lbs.) Bob Lanier (6'11", 265 lbs.) Lew Alcindor aka Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (7'2", 225 lbs.) Bob Pettit (6'9", 220 lbs.) Zelmo Beaty (6'9", 230 lbs.) Bill Russel (6'10", 215 lbs.) Elvin Hayes (6'9", 235 lbs.) Wes Unseld (6'7", 245 lbs.) Jerry Lucas (6'8", 230 lbs) Willis Reed (6'10", 235 lbls). 6'11" or taller: Ray Felix 6'11" Chuck Share 6'11" Walter Dukes 7'0" Swede Halbrook 7'3" Reggie Harding 7'0" Mel Counts 7'0" Walt Wesley 6'11" Hank Finkel 7'0" Craig Spitzer 7'0" Craig Raymond 6'11" Otto Moore 6'11" Rich Niemann 7'0" Tom Boerwinkle 7'0" Dave Newmark 7'0" Greg Fillmore 7'1" George Johnson 6'11" Elmore Smith 7'0" Tom Payne 7'2" Vic Bartolome 7'0" Jim McDaniels 6'11" William Smith 7'0" George Johnson 6'11"* LaRue Martin 6'11" Except Kareem no player in NBA history had to face more HoF players on his position than Wilt did, nobody faced more per game (8 up to 10 teams for the majority of his career). 35 of 90s starters wouldn't even get a bench spot in 60s NBA, because of only 8 (up to 10) teams. *yes, another George Johnson, 6'11"
