    Can anybody match Wilt Chamberlain's aura in NBA history?

      Thank for the footage of real GOAT. He is most kind and shy person but he knows how great he was. He said I gotta 1 or 2 more years in between the lines 😢 to McHale is most sad thing I heard. No one can say anything to his face dude at that time had 92 records without blocks and steals who was not recorded with them possible around 105 total records. Zeke said God he is big, u can see him tower the Shaq, Ewing and others. And most fun is Drexler laugh after saying he is GOAT and hear Wilt saying 65 to 70 ppg . That laugh is, he really knows that Chamberlain will do that.

      He got the biggest applause that night. Crowd couldnt believe how big he is. 1 of the best All-Star break show ever. Funny how Jordan shrunk when Wilt palmed his shoulder, like a little child. MJ knows he will never be on that level thats why he looks into ground when Wilt stares him in the eye.

    I honestly do believe when I watch Wilt Chamberlain on videos, there is an aura around him, when the video was panning with all the basketball players in it, they all blended in but Wilt Chamberlain just stood out, I've been saying this for years, and I'm glad there's finally a video talking about his aura, it's truly incredible. Like there's this one where Wilt Chamberlain a sitting and he said "My Prime versus his Prime how much money would you be willing to bet" and it sent shivers down my back! His presence, is truly something to behold, thank you for the video, we love your Channel, we love Wilt Chamberlain!

    If I had to pick someone as the best ever I have to go with Wilt. He has the best combo of size + power + agility + stamina + skill ever. People don't realize this guy was like a Victor Wemby + Giannis + LeBron hybrid. He was an inch taller than Shaq and could run a 40 yard dash in 4.6. If Wilt came along today the sports media would explode into a frenzy.
    He could also pass and handle the ball like a guard at his size. He had a nice mid range fade away and bank shot at his disposal. Free throws is literally the only thing he was not elite at. Yet even with his bad FT shooting he still managed to be top 5 in total points, tied for first in PPG, and have the 4 highest PPG seasons ever. No player ever was elite at everything but Wilt may have come closest in being elite at all but 1 thing.
    Wilt is the only player to lead the league in all of these categories at some point:
    Scoring, rebounding, assisting, FG%, triple doubles, win shares, PER, win shares per 48, TS%, offensive win shares, and defensive win shares. By this I mean there is no one else where you will find they lead the league in all of them at least once.
    Wilt is also the only player to lead the league in 3 or more categories simultaneously multiple times.
    Many will try to knock his competition as being "weak" but he faced a hall of fame, top 75 all time player as his main position foe for a quarter of his career.
    Times Wilt faced season and playoffs included:
    Russell 143 times
    Jabbar 28 times
    Thurmond 64 times
    Reed 72 times
    *307 times / 1205 total games = 25.5%
    Wilt is also #1 all time in: season rebounds, playoff rebounds, season RPG, Rebounding titles, overall stat titles (even without the blocks counted he is), records held. If blocks were counted then you would also have most blocks titles, most blocks per game, most triple doubles, and most quad doubles ever.
    As far as "winning" goes that is an entire team accomplishment, players, coaches, front office. Wilt's teams lost 4 game 7s by a total of 9 points (2.25 pts per). A few bounces here and there is the difference between Wilt having 2 rings and 6 rings, but he would still be the same player he was.
    Wilt just has too many things where we can apply the term "the only player ever to" / "most all time" for me to ignore. You put this guy in any NBA era and he will absolutely wreck the league.

      Kareem was resentful, partly because Wilt commented that Kareem could have been an even greater player, but lacked the high level of intensity in his play that was needed. We have to remember that by the time Kareem came into the league, Wilt's knees were not in great shape - yet Wilt battled Kareem nearly to a standstill right until he retired. Also, Wilt was the only man I've seen footage of blocking Kareem's skyhook (at least 3 times).

      There is sports rivalry but you’re missing the crucial context that they had beef in terms of politics and race. Wilt made negative comments about black women which Kareem was offended by, they had famous feuds about it.
      In terms of politics: Wilt supported the Vietnam war, Kareem was against it. Kareem supported the black civil rights movement, Wilt was against it. Wilt supported Nixon, Kareem was against him.

    So you believe everything that you read is 100% accurate are you kidding me did you ask wilt and Kareem was it true and what does his political views have to do with basketball or wilts views on life. Have to do with basketball absolutely nothing I don't see your point anywhere Kareem will always live in the shadow of Wilt Chamberlain until the day he dies has far has basketball is concerned nothing else there will always be comparison between them two has basketball players not that nonsense that you are spewing about who voted for who what he said about black women no one's talking about off the court life no disrespect intended sir but you sound immature I made a comment about the video everybody who watched the video seen everyone give wilt mad respect and all for the player that he was and what he did for the game of basketball and the amazing records that he still holds that's all you went to left field may you have a bless life and it was nice chatting with you I said what I had to say 💯

      Parish wasn't getting minutes at that time.. but in his book Wilt had nothing but amazing respect for Parish.. He said to be that consistent for so many years was incredible.

      I think Parish was retired at the time or just an old vet on a team getting no minutes.
