- Why Kareem Abdul Jabbar & Wilt Chamberlain HATED Each Other!
Wilt Chamberlain talked more trash about Kareem Abdul Jabbar than even the media. And in response, Kareem dedicated a whole chapter of his book where he called Wilt a loser. But only years before that, Kareem was wearing Wilt’s clothes and going to parties with him.
So, what could possibly have turned supposed friends into cold-blooded enemies?

WILT is the G.O.A.T. and its not even close
Goat of the Regular season, come playoff time his stats dipped period...only 2 chips n went there 6 times....
@@anthonykyles4310wilt is not the goat
Most intelligent people know this . The NBA record book is hard to ignore.
I think it's like what Wilt said, athletes have a lot of pride. Especially when they see someone up and coming. Karreem was like that himself when it came to Lebron. There was the "GOATS don't dance" stuff. If you though Wilt was uncomfortable when Kareem passed him, Kareem himself was really uncomfortable with Lebron passed him....
Kareem was even attacking the man personally over the 💉
both were handsome young men
Kareem may have a lot more rings than Wilt. But I still think Wilt was the far better overall athlete and person in general. Wilt went out of his way for fans where Kareem was a straightup asshole to his own fans.
Not even a sniff to Wilt.
facts! and way too sensitive! AND if it wasn't for magic, i don't know if he would've had all those rings.
Kareem could also be a dirty player, as in when he took out Mark Aguirre in the ‘85 WCSF, and hurt Isiah Thomas in the ‘88 NBA Finals. Wilt never fouled out in his entire career.
@@gheewhiz Magic wouldn't have had HIS rings without Kareem either. Don't fool yourself.
@@petemccarry2326 oh bullshit.
Kareem is on record as saying that Larry Bird is probably the best basketball player he ever played against, which has recently become the consensus opinion among players on the Showtime Lakers fo the 80's. Interestingly, Kareem credits Wilt for really being the first one to fully recognize Bird's greatness. In fact, Bird put up very Chamberlainesque numbers in college as a points-and-rebounds machine. Wilt must have been onto him before he came into the NBA.
Kareem was one of the greatest of all time but Wilt was the true GOAT as a basketball player and as an athlete. Because Wilt was so much older it is difficult to compare them head to head and Wilt stopped scoring after about six years because of criticism that he scored too much and then he became the only center to lead the league in assists. But if he had kept going he could have put the scoring record out of sight. No one else ever came close to scoring 100 points in a game or averaging 50 points, 25 rebounds or playing 48 minutes a game. And Wilt got 55 rebounds in a game against Bill Russell who was an unbelievable champion but he also was surrounded by a Hall of Fame coach and players. This level athlete must be extremely competitive but it is good that Wilt and Russell were good friends and that Kareem had good things to say about Wilt after his passing and I hope that Wilt actually felt the same about his "little brother" Kareem.
Basketball is a Team Sport and I really never get it how people can praise him for a 100points game… poor team mates…. Must have been boring to play with him
@@NeoViny Praise him for a 100 points? Poor teammates? His teammates such as al attles, guy Rogers pushed for him to get 100 points bc they wanted to see it.
He was the best attraction and maybe ever. The NBA was built off of wilt
@@BoosterGoldEarth6 The NBA was not built off of Wilt. Not really sure where that came from.
Jabber was lucky David Robinson was in the navy for 2 years Kareem Abdul jabber miss playing against David Robinson: 50s points against jabber & block couple skyhook shot
@@NeoViny you dont know sports.
Kobe and Shaq's fake beef couldn't compare to what Kareem put in his book. 😂
Only after Wilt had taken NUMEROUS shots at Kareem over the years
No Kareem took far many shots at Wilt. Who comes out and start bad mouthing the man who helped you out as a HS kid. Over his politics. When in fact now, Kareem is a race traitor
Fake beef ??? Nothing fake about how these 2 felt negatively about each other.Remember when Shaq had a song where he said Kobe could eat a &&&&. LOL. Nothing subtle about that song.
No, he did not he only criticized his rebounding to motivate him to do better like he knew he could. Kareem while being jealous and petty could not handle criticism because of his immaturity that's why he elbowed and sucker punched and sulked a lot also. Kareem took a real personal shots at Chamberlain.@@ednunez7682
Nothing fake about that beef. Wilt and Kareem never had arguments or almost threw hands. They threw shoots in the media and autobiographies, Shaq and Kobe took media shots regularly and almost came to blows..
Kareem knows deep down that Prime Wilt was better than him.
He also knows that HE won six MVP's, six championships, 3 NCAA championships, it would have been four had they allowed freshman to play. He isn't the least bit concerned as to what Wilt did or didn't do
@@ednunez7682 🧢 Kareem watched Wilt in person in his prime. He knew Wilt true ability and potential.
@@BoosterGoldEarth6 uh yeah. And Wilt later admitted that Kareem was the one player he needed help in guarding.
@@ednunez7682Source?
@@stephenbanks5860 look it up
Wilt was better. That's my opinion. He did whatever he wanted. If Chamberlain wanted the most, he got the most rebounds. If Wilt wanted the most assists, he got the most assists. He lost four championships by less than nine points. The final moments of all those games were not Wilt Chamberlain's fault. If Wilt wanted to score more points he could have easily done that. He's been to as many NBA championship finals as LeBron James, and yet they call Lebron the king. Wilt Chamberlain could have played until 1989 and what a Smash 2 scoring record.
Yet, if he wanted a championship more, he didn't get it done.
The only reason Kareem bested Wilt on the court was Wilt was past his prime .
Uh no
He also suffered a career-ending knee injury but he never bested him. Out of the 11 games he played against Wilt The Stilt won 9 of them . The victor Mr. Wilton Norman Chamberlian!
Will look oldie at in playoffs against Bill Russell & Boston Celtics in 1969 nba final
Early 1960s wilt would've score 50s points playing against jabber & Willis reed , early 1960s wilt was unstoppable in the low post 📫
Kareem never bested Wilt They both did what their team needed them to do to win Kareem needed to score and Wilt needed to rebound and play defense Wilt could have outscored Kareem even àt that point in his career if that was the game plan but it wasn't Wilt had multiple 60 games with the Laker He could still score if he wanted to
I can see your bias, because you only queted Kareem's side, and his book. Yet you didn't qoute anything from Wilt's books.
Wilt was far superior player to Kareem, nothing else
Wilt was better than.. they played when wilt was old... And so what if wilt liked white girls or vote for Nixon that's wilt's chose.. Kareem became Muslim and wanted to be an activist ok cool...wilt took you under his wing and you turned on him over politics and his own preferences and opinion on things.. Kareem was being judgemental period!!
One on one, prime Wilt is better than prime Kareem. No doubt.
Bill Russell and Kareem had the benefit of having great teammates in their primes.
Prime early 1960s wilt would've score 50s; 40 points against Kareem Abdul jabber & block would've 🚫 bunch of jabber skyhook shot into trash 🗑trash can
You mean unlike having jerry west and Elgin baylor
Late 1960s l.a laker were old : Gail Goodrich was on 1969 or 1970 l.a laker & Elgin Baylor was on 1971 / 1972 nba champion; l.a Lakers
Imagine if WILT played in showtime Lakers with Magic & Worthy he would average 50 every season!
@mirospajic9929 ❤️ x& o defense were more fancy; like fancy zones ; wilt Average 44points a game too 1962/ 1963 nba basketball season; early 1960s wilt showed more fadaway jump shot like mid 1960s were wilt basketball years played better defense; had wilt played 1980s/ 1990s: they had big man low post camp like Hakeem olajuwon & mose Malone;; etc etc early 1960s wilt in 1980s basketball hard to say ; low post 📫 moves videos&low post coaches
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar describes a game he saw with Wilt Chamberlain were the opposition team triple-teamed wilt holding on to wilt and he described how Wilt Chamberlain won the game with multiple dunks and even when they tried to hold him he would rise up and dunk the ball (like they were silk scarfs) instead of three large men....
Kareem said, "this was a lesson he bought into the nba and through-out his career!"
Wilt and Kareem DID go head to head before Chamberlain suffered a severe knee injury in Abdul-Jabbar's rookie season. Wilt outplayed Kareem in that matchup (e.g., 10/24/69) and the Lakers defeated the Bucks 123-112. It's important to note that Wilt's trashing talking was specifically about Kareem's game whereas Abdul-Jabbar took personal AND professional shots at Chamberlain.
Wilt 25 pts 25 rebs 5 asts 9-14 from the field
Kareem 23 pts 20 rebs 2 asts 9-21 from the field
Why is that important. Kareem's intellect was not just limited to basketball
1969 wilt before knee surgery was still oldie wilt " wilt look old in nba basketball championship series 1969 against bill Russell & boston celtics for last time ; early 1960s wilt would've score 50s; 44s scoring points average points against 35 years old Bill Russell
Neither was Wilt intellect limited to basketball. Actually believe wilt had original thoughts unlike Kareem
@@BoosterGoldEarth6 lmao. Riiiiight. Kareem has authored SIX BOOKS. Try again
@@ednunez7682 And Wilt wrote three which sold more than Kareem. Kareem just say whatever the democratic party want him to say. wilt was financially well off unlike Kareem
They were the two best players the rivalry was inevitable but wilt should have let it go after retiring
Wilt didn't have any problem. It was Kareem.This " documentary "was more misleading than anything else
Wilt said once that he would say 9 positive things about Jabbar and then also say he didn't rebound as well as he should and the only thing that would be reported was the rebounding comment. Jabbar hated Wilt's politics and lifestyle. What's really sad is how Jabbar still trashes Wilt 20 plus years after Wilt's death. Pretty low class.
Jabbar was a cheap shot artist as a player.
Its amazing how friends or the people you grow to like... turn against you. Life is so short & untimely. We never know whats gonna happen. RIP Wilt & thank you KAJ.😮
I agree...when friends stab u in the back. Bank robbing Walter B. Did that to me. You can't for give that!!!
Wilt was competitive, he knew competition, he went after them, rightly so,Bill Russell, Kareem and also that young 6’6”guard
KOBE 6'6" JORDAN 6'6"
Good video. I hate that they weren’t able to work through things before Wilt died. I’m happy that today rivals seem be competitive and maintain respect and friendship for one another…
They were very different men. Basketball was one of the few things they had in common
"the two giants did play against each other in one game that season. It came on October 24th, 1969 - before Wilt's injury - and showcased both players and their teams quite nicely. Chamberlain boasted a stunning (but routine for him throughout his career) 25 points and 25 rebounds, while the rookie also posted an impressive 23 points and 20 rebounds... albeit on just 9-of-21 shooting from the field, compared to the veteran's 9-14 ratio. It was a rather even bout, but the Lakers ended up taking the victory, winning by eleven points behind a better overall team effort."
Wilt demonstrated his dominance, he was saying to Kareem, " you are good kid, but im better! "
Wilt also was even with him be the 71 playoffs as well. It just Jerry and Elgin were hurt
One game doesn't prove anything ... the career is what mattered most -- especially to Kareem. Every player was a rookie, at some point. Kareem got his revenge.
@Dynamo001 , Wilt didn't overpower Kareem because he didn't need to, to win...
Wilts career threatening injury reduced his lateral movement and that meant Kareem Abdul-Jabbar after that time had a advantage but Wilt wasn't playing offensive basketball but mostly a role like Bill Russell...
Defensive rebounds, fast breaks and going to the basket to score...
Wilt was famous for his fade-away or finger roll but he left that to Jerry West and others equally skilled!
Finally when Kareem over reached himself by bullying one of Laker teammate Wilt for a full quarter physically overpowered Kareem like no one had before or since...
Early 1960s Wilt : unstoppable in the low post 📫 give wilt the basketball 🏀 & get out the way as wheel & tornado 🌪 moves toward the basket 🧺 to score
Yet, his teams could never beat the Celtics and win titles. He was great, but wasn't a great team player -- Bill Russell was.
@Dynamo001 wilt & Philadelphia 76ers 1966/ 1967 beat bill Russell &boston celtics; wilt & Philadelphia 76ers had injuries 1967 / 1968 & wilt got trade ; had stayed with Philadelphia 76ers they might have in 1969 nba basketball championships but not in 1971/ 1972 nba basketball championships
@@loydkline An old Celtics team, that won many titles. Wilt didn't do much against them before that .
Wilt was way more powerful than Jabbar.
However Kareem was the better basketball player, but Wilt Chamberlain was the far superior athlete and he was much stronger than Kareem!!😉
Kareem was a finesse player and did just fine with his style.
@@theblackperil588 hell, Wilt was one of the world's greatest athletes.
@@ednunez7682Hell, Wilt could have dunked anytime he wanted but he shot his fade away 60% of the time because he saw himself as a finesse player.

It’s funny because their are many videos of Wilt saying great things about Kareem but maybe in their playing days it could have been different but then Kareem wasn’t the nicest guy either
Wilt has a very soft shooting touch. Yes, from midrange all the way to 3 pointers.....
And he can't shoot free throws with that soft shooting touch ......
Mystery....
They’re both great! ✊🏽
The click bait title is silly. Wilt and Kareem didn't hate each other. Wilt took Kareem under his wing before Kareem was even in the NBA. He was a mentor to him at first. When Kareem got into the league and they were competing against each other then the relationship changed. Wilt would take shots and belittle Kareem at times after Wilt retired.
Kareem did a commercial with wilt;; nba basketball player have reunion at nba all-star games: nba hall of fame stuff etc etc
All Wilt said was kareem should be a better rebounder.
@MovieGuy666 I got wilt 1973 book; Kareem Abdul jabber would've answer back about wilt free throws ; in wilt era they didn't make kind of 💰 money they today hugh cable TV money era :: impossible to compare era
All the enmity was from Kareem.If anything Wilt just felt betrayed because of the way Kareem flipped on him
Sounds just like MJ hating everyone because of his own behavior… hating Isaiah for beating in his prime MJ most of MJ career. The wack documentary “trash-dance” where MJ glorifies himself over his teammates… when MJ needed multiple Detroit championship players from the BADBOY Pistons to help him win his championships… that’s before Durant did it… and delusional MJ fans who buy NIKE OWNED JORDAN BRAND ITEMS thinks MJ is a goat for being the weakest star in nba history… BADBOY PISTONS ATE KNOWN yet multiple champion badboy pistons had to help MJ win while wearing rings that destroyed MJ consecutively… no one is that sad. Isaiah laughs forever because of this unchangeable truth✨✨✨🏀
Wilt was 11 years older than Kareem. Prime wilt would have completely destroyed Kareem.
Trust no one,saying negative things about him,and wasn't even talking to tthe press
Wilt was a gentle giant. A good person.
6 title 6time mvp 38k career points
Kareem was underrated goat
Kareem was boring as hell with that stupid hook shot and his inability to dribble the basketball and create his own shots. Wilt was a complete athlete from dribbling to passing to rebounding to block shots and dunking. So fun to watch!
See … this is how it went down. Kareem having become an expensive commodity in the game , who also became radical because of the racism… didn’t respond well to the dippers rookie treatment that he later passed on to magic and the like … No biggie. Wilt explained it later as the athlete’s competitive EGO ! 😊
People don't get it Wilt was a grown experienced man and Kareem was a naive immature kid That's where all the problems stem from Kareems immaturity
Kareem is pathetic when he admitted he lost respect over political views. Nixon was definitely the better choice on 1968. Kareem was pathetic in many ways.
Bill Russell is the GOAT... RINGS on the Finger explain everything. These other players were would've, could've ,, should've
I'm sorry this was a nice video but it was way too slighted in favor of Kareem. If you are going to do journalism. It might be nice to read and quote Wilt Chamberlain on the same topics you are quoting Kareem. Wilt wrote a book that explains Kareem feud. C'mon let be fair and objective.
When you mention wilt take on black women, how about read the quote out so the readers can gain context behind your denigrating insults of a dead man.
Smh
LOL! Where's the 'denigrating comments' in this video? You state that in your opinion this was slighted to Kareem, which I disagree with. But here's the quotes about Black Women by the Dipper that the GOAT rightfully called him out on in his generalizing & ignorant comments- he stated that "Black Women were not sophisticated enough for him" & that " Black Women also tend to have more sexual hang-ups than White Women".
So you hate Wilt because of that? Kareem was young and immature
Kareem and Wilt were the OG Pac and Biggie 😂
They did not hate one anothet,,, the relationship was like Bill Russell And Wilt
Make money?
I am suspicious of people who make everything about money
Wilt was more athletic and was stronger. Kareem was more agile and had better balance.
LMAO Wilt was a track star Kareem could only dream of that.
Lew Alcindor, in the early years.
Kareem is an angry person that hates everyone.
Wilt was just better then Kareem. I don’t understand the argument of how Kareem has a case of goat. Kareem played in the weakest era in nba history and only won 1 bring without Majic and the rest of the super team!
Jabber only 🏆 won nba basketball championship without magic 🎩 Johnson
Did MJ win a ring without Scotie Pippen ?so u r underrating KAJ' s success. Be fare.
@@mehmetmahnaoglu2854comparing Scotty to that whole Lakers crew are you serious?
We'll still hold 72 NBA records Kareem don't even have five and the only reason he passed them in points is cuz he played seven years longer than Will or else will with a demolish that record
The two most overrated centers in history
He was wild but in control?
Kareem was in Airplane.
Wilt was in Conan the Destroyer
Advantage Kareem
There are a lot of layers to this situation a lot of people won't understand because it wasn't and hasn't been widely reported on. First as basketball players, no question Wilt would dominate Kareem and was the better player by a mile. No question. Kareem was more of a dominant offensive player to where as Wilt was much stronger and had a variety of skills on both ends of the floor he could use at anytime in order to dominate. If you understand who runs the NBA and what type of politics its controlled by then you'll understand why Wilt is looked down upon and not celebrated as in comparison to others, when he's truly the real GOAT. He didn't conform to their nefarious agendas, he was very intelligent, and he was his own man that did things unapologetically with no regrets.
Kareem on the other hand was manipulated into following along with the Democratic and far left agendas that best serve other communities socially, politically, and economically but his own. While he was being shuffled around with Bill Russell, Jim Brown, and others. They all we're being controlled by the Red Auerbach's, other gatekeepers, and the other Jewish elites that quietly ran, financed, and orchestrated the Civil Rights Movement. Wilt knew Kareem was being used then and Kareem is still being used now to push their agendas. So as a result of all of that, the Media quarterbacked a feud between them to spite Wilt. In reality, Kareem is a coward and a follower who doesn't piss unless he's told to do so. It's always been that way. Kareem was humbled and got back on the conformity train when he ran out of money and had to auction off a lot of his stuff a few years ago. The NBA didn't touch him for years because it's said that he was difficult to deal with and arrogant. Why do you think he never got a real job in the NBA, especially in coaching or a front office role for someone of his stature and accomplishment in the League? He was always relegated to being a player development coach for the most part or someone they'd keep around so the players can reference.
When Kareem talks about stats its disingenuous because he never got to play a healthy, young, or prime Wilt. Secondly, Wilt as an older man was still handing it to Kareem when they played and is one of the few players who've blocked his skyhook several times. Which usually didn't happen. The jealousy really was the other way around because Kareem couldn't pull women and he didn't have the charisma Wilt had. So the Media and those book publishers spun it around to make it look like Wilt really needed to be jealous of Kareem. Which is a joke in itself. Truthfully, it was Kareem that betrayed Wilt.
And you probably think Brady’s the goat in the nfl😳
@@johnshinn5325 Not even close. For starters, Peyton Manning was better than him. Tom was just in a better situation.
Yeah championships just kept following Brady around.
This was one of the best rivalrys in the game
Only 2 aliens that ever played in the nba, Wilt and MJ.
Wilt was averaging 24 points a game and he got injured.
31 on 64%
I love them both... i just wish Kareem Abdul Jabbar was a little more outgoing. Not everyone is the same though and i respect that. 💯
Wilt was the most dominant. Kareem was Rock steady. Kareem had 6 rings, Wilt had 2. But neither is the GOAT. Bill Russell is the GOAT. His leadership, rebounding and tenacious defense were second to none. So I don't know why you bothered to make this video.
Wilt was just as good as Russell defensively and a better rebounder, Bill Russell just had the better teams.
@@MovieGuy666 Not really true. Russell had good teams, but not great teams.
let's look at the numbers that matter
Russell-11 rings
Jordan-6 rings(2 years off)
Wilt-2 rings. Says it all. Russell is KING.
@@MovieGuy666 Wilt averaged 22.5 boards for his career. Russell averaged 22 rpg, and was a way better scorer. But not a better winner. They changed the NBA rules because of Wilt's dominance.
When Wilt had the better team in 68 He crushed Russell.Russell and the Celtics weren't even any competition. Philly had the best record in the league winning the most games in the history of the League and trouncing Russell 4-1.If Wilt had a good team his entire career like Russell did Russell wouldn't have won anything
You don't know much about basketball.Boston won 11 rings in 13 years but they didn't have great teams?That's like saying the Yankees won 27 championships with mediocre talent.What sports world are you living in.
I think Kareem needed Basketball, Wilt did not need basketball. Wilt had a life other than B-Ball-Kareem did not. I think often Wilt just walked through games, toying with everyone and not trying real hard. There is also the secret of Wilts bad heart caused by an assault by 3 other players in, I believe 1962, that was very serious and affected his stamina, health and energy, and that infection that spread from his jaw to his heart finally was the cause of his death. Kareem thinks he is the great social justice warrior and hated Wilt for not being involved in that scene, but the fact is those 3 WHITE players may have schemed to remove the Black Wilt from the game, 3 racist White players, and it killed Wilt in the end. :( Yes, Kareem was the greatest Center of all time, but no telling how great Wilt would have been if not fighting his heart, which was kept a big secret, and if Wilt had the killer instinct on the court and if B-Ball was his all consuming mission. Wilt is the legend, period.
"Kareem thinks he is the great social justice warrior?" Do I detect a faintly suppressed sneer in there? In my youth, 50 yrears ago, I was very consrvative, ALARMINGLY, DISTRESSINGLY conservative. But two things happened to me which rectified the situation: (1) I went to medical school, which broadened the horizons of this parochial small town boy, and (2) I grew up. The transition to liberalism took a handful of years, but by 27 years old I was fully adult. I realized many years later that I have a modest form of Asperger's syndrome, which accounts for my inabilkty to stay married, my stellar academic and professional performances, and my hypertrophied sense of social justice. I detest, with a vengeance, the arrogant and self-congratulatory, and bullies in all forms. In practice that means conservativism, and Republicans, and as the extreme manifestation, The Prince of Orange.
I've been amused by consrvatives' assigning "Social Justice Warrior" to us as an epithet, thinking it would hurt our feelings and neutralize us as a social force. But no, on the contrary I'm flattered by the name, and have made a bumper sticker "Proud Social Justice Warrior.' On another car I have one which reads "WOKE? You Betcha!"
I understand that Kareem values the Social Justice Warrior phase of his life more than the B-Ball icon phase. Rightfully so.
Yes. A legend who played against plumbers, bank supervisors, firemen, ice cream vendors, and security guards.
@@paoloalcantara2465 and kicked Jabbars azz in the tourney finals when LA won the title. Old man Wilt cleaned Jabbars clock.
@@OslerWannabe At one time I was a demoncrat and "social Justice Warrior", then I grew up and saw the light, Independent Conservative, White and Straight, and I love it! :)
What channel has the greatest of all time Bill Russell had better teams all the way around so they won more championships. Kareem play 20 years to get the stats. He has any lucked out with Magic Johnson. Who led the Lakers to the championships not Kareem but I still put shack number two and Kareem number three.
These are two good men who were exceptional at their profession. The competitive aspect was gonna be in the air regardless. I don't believe either man hated the other. There was some jealousy from Wilt with his oversized ego having to watch Kareem surpass his legacy as the best big man to ever play.
Wilt was a pioneer, ahead of his time. Jabbar was racking up MVPs and championships right there in front of Wilt in Los Angeles. Anyone would be jealous. They had a great team and Kareem was the hub of it. Breaking his scoring record probably sent Chamberlain head reeling with anger and he badmouthed Jabbar to the media.
He didn't hate him though. I believe they reconciled before Wilts passing.
Seriously? Everything you said was literally imaginary
When he referred to Bruce Jenner's sex change as a "biological imperative", thats all I needed to know about Kareem.
Wilt had great stats but it's hard to call a player who won 2 NBA titles in 6 finals the GOAT.
No, it's not Basketball is a team game and many championship teams have players that went on to do nothing. You can be a goat and not have any championships one man can not win a championship the two have nothing to do with each other. Never got why people conflate the two. Bill Russell was on one of the greatest teams ever does that then make him the goat no. Does that make him better than Jordan no? I think you are being dishonest championships are about teams and Wilts teams were always a point or two away from winning the whole thing and played the Celtics every year so wake up and smell the coffee.
Why?Basketball is a team game.Wilt won 2 that's enough.Hakeem only won 2,Bird 3,West 1 Oscar Robertson 1 Kareem had 1 after 10 years until magic came along and saved him.Wilts the goat because the record book says he's the goat.Its not a popularity contest.Numbers don't lie(and they did everything they could to shut Wilt down) and MJ lost every year in the playoffs for 8 straight years until he got a team around him.
If its about championships then Russell the goat not your favourite player.Russell didnt win those rings by himself as a matter of fact Sam Jones has 10 rings himself
Wilt was always more loud about his own prowess, about how many points, how many rebounds, how many women he had. But as a player, he was never as rounded as Kareem. Firstly, Kareem didn't shoot FT granny style. Wilt shot over 2000 more free throws, only to make 700 less. He was worst than Shaq on the FT line. You can't be serious when you say the GOAT of basketball shoots free throws like that... When Wilt averaged 50ppg for the whole year, he made sure to play ever single minute. I know people praise that because of its stark contrast to many of the players today. But that also meant he sacrificed his own health, and the success of his team, for the sake of proving a statistical point. This guy was too much about himself. Scoring 50ppg, and what happened in the playoffs against Boston? Again he played every single minute, but he was shut down to just 33pts, meanwhile his teammates who used to never get to shoot, had to somehow do it on the biggest stage, and they weren't ready. WIlt's own shooting percentage was about 46%. 1967, he faced the same Boston Celtics but this time he took much fewer shots and much better shots. He only scored 21.6ppg, but had much more rebounds and assists. His shooting percentage went up to 55.6%, and his teammates also did much better than in 1962. People cannot point at him getting 50pts, playing every minute and shooting lots of missed shots as "GOAT" form, when in fact he was a much better player in 1967 by scoring half as many points, but having a 68% FG%, and more assists. In the end, Kareem played winning basketball from the start, and he had a much longer and fruitful career. I find it hilarious when people say it's either Wilt or MJ as the goat. When Bill Russell and Kareem both should be ahead of Wilt. It's just that they never claimed themselves as the greatest, doesn't mean Wilt is.
I think I recognize you from before.More nonsense.You don't know anything about basketball. I can tell by the things you say.While Wilt was playing 48 minutes Russell was playing like 44.criticizing Wilt for playing a lot of minutes is absurd.A teammate said Wilt was amazing. He would play 48 minutes and come back the next day fresh as a daisy. Allen Iverson used to lead the League in minutes played.Everyone has a different motor.
@@ralphgreenwood2469 common sense ain't common with you.
What did I say that didn't make common sense?You can't give me an answer. Any point you make I will refute it and easily because you are not really a knowledgeable basketball person.I can tell how you talk and the points you make.You want to debate.Lets debate.
I haven't heard from you.By the way Wilt shot 50 percent from the field while averaging 50 pts a game in 1962 which is outstanding.He had the highest shooting percentage on the team but hey let's give the guys shooting 35 pct more shots
Lew was beyond amazing but theres really no argument, Wilt vs Kareem head to head just google that, its free to see.
I also own all three wilt books and 2 of Kareem's (Person who runs this channel likely owns 1 and has read zero) and this disgusting dude is cherry picking so hard. Wilt and Kareem dont say anything he implies. Dont trust this channel.
Dude make sure someone who knows wont see your lies.
These dudes Lived life like they had ig in the 60s, women from all over the world around,cars,houses, and lifestyle. friends with public figures -!: access to things people dreamed about, a black man in Jim Crow and racism in America while being treated like god’s in every community they went into around the world
Anyone who think Russel was better than Wilt is utterly delusional. Check the stats....Wilt outplayed Russel by HUGE margins in the regular season and playoffs. It's not his fault that his teams were inferior and (because of NBA rules at the time) stayed that way.
Saying Russel is better because he played inferior on better teams is like saying the last guy on the bench is better than Jordan because his team won more.
The thing is Kareem obviously loved will you can tell how hurt wills words were to him
Like Wilt said…athletes are a different breed.
Also what people might forget is that Wilt is a Leo
People who are Leo like myself will know another.
We are Proud people and outspoken…but we also have a different side in our character that most people can’t handle.
Wilt is Wilt…and deep down he never meant to hurt Kareem but my guess is that Kareem who’s completely different than Wilt never understood that side and that’s why he reacted kinda angry.
Also Kareem is kinda contradicting…some see him as a gentle giant but let’s not forget there’s always another side…
And last
A book needs to sell, and what sells best is gossip…look at Scottie Pippen.
All I know is that Wilt in his prime is the best Eva
Every are proud, and don't believe in zodiac because it's a false belief and sorcery that turns away from God, you're not a lion or a leo but the best of what the God has created that is to say the human.
That the person belief, he does not have to believe what you believe
stop this star sign bs. zodiac signs dont exist and you are just delusional
Kareem was jealous of Wilt buddy you got that backward very biased presentation well people who know basketball know who was better unlike you and Kareem thinks he was better Well not really that's what he says but someone who talks about someone that much is very insecure he knows Wilt was better.
KAJ being a Democrat shill starting all this over Wilt's political preference.
lmao kareem was in love with wilt's danish gf but got mad at wilt's preference not to date black women? ok buddy
Wilt was the best, Kareem was a clown.
A clown who won 3 NCAA championships, 6 NBA titles, 6 MVP's. Sounds like YOU are the clown.
SAW THE HEAD TO HEAD WILT TOOK HIM SCHOOL BUT KAREEM AFFTER THAT UNSTOPPABLE
amazing video thanks for the content!
Today was the first time I ever heard about this thing between Wilt and Kareem! Where the heck have I been?
Sad.
So many times it's nothing but stupid stuff dividing people.
Kareem was a well known jerk in the nba... it's just his personality
well, they are both prickish. which is enough. the rest are details
Think on Team Wilt on this one. Kareem comes off as an ass
I forgot about this one.. Thanks for the brush up!
old school webanyama is kareem
On wilts side im sure for years loosing to the Celtics and bill russel and then once russel retires here comes kareem, wilt never got a chance to truly dominate like he thought he should. In my opinion Russel was a better team player and then kareem and wilt were 10 years apart so wilts prime had past when kareem came into his. Plus im sure wilts lifestyle didnt do much for longevity.
Wilt didn't truly dominate??
wow
Both of these guys were great centers Both of them were cry babys at times I think Kareem had a little more talented teammates than Wilt had in the 80's
How did Wilt get to be a crybaby?
Wilt just comes across as a jealous and bitter old man when it comes to Kareem.
Based on what this incompetent documentary?
Wilt was the only NBA leading scorer to have media and Coaches hound him into scoring less. Kareem, Jordan and LeBron were celebrated for scoring and even given the benefit of rule changes. When Wilt entered the league the media wrote think peices about how he would ruin the game. Had Wilt been more stubborn we wouldn't be calling MJ the greatest scorer ever. He would have ended his career around 40 ppg easy.
I 1000 percent agree with you.Facts
Wilt let them manipulate his brain.Wilts the greatest scorer there ever was but Wilt went for the okey doke and let them talk him out of scoring.They have never done that too anyone else in NBA history They tried that with Shaq at one point.Shoot less they told him.Shaq said if the big dog doesn't get fed the house doesn't get guarded and that was the end of that
ultimate frenemies
When Wilt said that Kareem was not that good of a rebounder, yet Kareem is 3rd in all time rebounds, look at the length of time it took Kareem to be 3rd. Wilt only played 13 seasons and he is the leader still to this day (year, 2023). It took Kareem 20 seasons to pass Wilt. Take 7 of those last years away from Kareem and see what his totals would be. He would drop down a lot in the stats books. Wilt was critical of Kareem's basketball abilities. Kareem was a baby and went after Wilt personally. That shows that Kareem was like Rodney Dangerfield - "Kareem earned no respect."
If they hadn't made up by 1999 from 1969 then they were probably just going to be like MJ and Isiah Thomas. Old men talking about a 31 year old Olympic game
It was Lew Alcinder, not Kareem Abdul Jabbar. This interview is embarrassing, for that reason. They weren't the same height either. Wilt Chamberlain was 7' 2, and Alcinder was at least 7'5. John Wooden told Alcinder to never stand up strait at the center tap, so his true height could never be confirmed.
Just sad they couldn't have reconciled and became friends again Like Wilt and Bill did.
This is shameful & typical of competitive athletes.Tit for tat like HS kids
I mean Kareem started it bruh😭
Most pro players are very petty,immature and childish,they've never had to work a day in their lives ( L mean hold down an actual job )people kissed their behinds most of their lives and in college they get gifts,money and women from boosters.Also cars.
Wow,You sound like a hater.
You mean Roger Murdock and Bombaata hated each other???
Think that was Jack Johnsons' club.
they feed into the media........so sad............
The media talked crap to Kareem? Hmmm
Uncle Wilt, No Relation.
It's a shame it had to be that way
Brothers argue.
RACING??? 🤔 😂
What a shame that they ended up enemies. I love Wilt, all he brought to the game, and his larger than life personality, but he had a mighty big ego and criticized other players, especially Kareem, when he should have kept his mouth shut.
Who said Wilt had a big ego?Where does that come from?That's like an urban legend that keeps getting repeated. Wilts ego wasn't any bigger than Lebron,MJ etc.
Kareem was less then stellar in the rebound dept.Wilt told the truth.Kareem should have been a better rebounder.He didn't want it enough.Wilt and Russell wanted it.That's why they are the best two rebounders ever.
I think Wilt just wanted people to think he was the best player ever. At the time some people might have thought Kareem was better. I don't think he Critiqued Willis Reed, Artis Gilmore. Wilt even got into a Debate with Jordan saying he was the best ever. It's too bad Wilt and Kareem never settled their differences before Wilt passed away.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is absolutely correct in everything he ever said about Wilt Chamberlain, especially about the Wilt Chamberlain-Bill Russell comparison!
People that had inner actions with Kareem say he is an a$$hole...Alouf to the max
Chumperlame, 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
