Wilt had 2 injured wrist vs Bucks 1971 but in '72 Wilt had 35 age , and both knee injured. Fun fact 1of best season in hustory 1972 had Jabbar prime 24 age...and Wilt took his ring. Btw Jerry West is little older than Oscar. Baylor did not play. There is no xcuse cause Bob Dandrige was incredible for Bucks and old Wilt had role player Pat Riley. The only xcuse is Jabbar average more ppg 1972 but RPB, SPG, BPG and even APG likewise triple double goes to Wilt. Fun fact 2, Wilt blocked 4x skyhook that year and his age and knee vs prime Alcindor proved that if Jabbar ever faced 1962 prime best Wilt he would not stood chance if he couldnt score on him. I think in game 3 Wilt broke defensive record vs Kareem he keep him under 30% fg whenever he was direct defender. 35 old guy vs best MVP prime Jabbar.
@@CapitanHarlockisback if he managed to took his ring at age 35, and both knee injured 11 years older vs the best version of Kareem who waa mvp best scorer in nba those years, u know what 1962 Wilt would do to him. Remember jabbar only had more ppg Wilt had 4 stats better than him. Fun fact ppl say Wilt has supwe team. Not true causeJerry was never better than oscar and both were same age. Baylor never played that year and Dandridge was better than Gail Goodrich. Bucks gad prime Alcindor Oscar and Dandridge, while only help Wilt had in his old 35 years, is Goodridge who wasnt even first ballot or 50 member. Jerry and Oscar cancel each although Robertson is by mile more complete than jerry ever was.
I remember reading an interview (prob 30+ years ago) in which Kareem claimed to have embarrassed Wilt in their matchups, and how Wilt was frustrated because he could never block the skyhook. I remember thinking Kareem must be lying. Now, thanks to the magic of the internet and RUclips, here is undeniable proof of Wilt's greatness and Kareem's bullsh*t in glorious 4K. Thank you! And this is old Wilt with bad knees and wrists...imagine how prime Wilt would have dominated Kareem.
No center, including Kareem, averaged 30 points and at least 20 rebounds per game for a season, except Wilt. Wilt averaged over 30 and 20 for his CAREER.
@@TheIcemanthomas Correction, he played in a faster pace far harder to keep up with athletically and skill through fatigue than massively slower dribble heavy easier rule paced eras with worse shoes on and worse sturdy rims to shoot on among defenses that allowed both 2 hand checking and zone defenses his entire career

Wilt is the Paul Bunyan of basketball. The things that he accomplished seem like tall tails. The further we get from his time, the less we remember that the things he did were real. 100pts in a game. Widening the lane, changes to how free throws could be attempted, how balls could be in-bounded.. offensive goal tending was created because of Wilt.. It was and still is mind blowing.

brother if jordan never left the league twice he wouldve broken all wilts records jordan was a better blocker and rebounder he only focused on scoring because the team needed the points he wouldve averaged 20/20/20 his entire career he was physically more dominate and faster than wilt chamberlain also the rules of jordans era stopped him from truly becoming as dominate as wilt was jordan had a handicap his entire career only jordan could have stopped the celtics dynasty of the 60s no human being will ever have the power the strength skills and mentality jordan had when he passes im assuming they will name him as one of the wonders of the world he was next dimensional... wilt and kareem versus jordan 2 on 1 i'd put my money on jordan every time
@@thebuilder2018 better rebounder and shot blocker? This alone complete invalidates your opinion because you have to be high to believe that. Jordan ever lead the NBA in blocked shots assists or rebounding. Chamberlain has Jordan never did. As for scoring 3 of the top 4 scoring years in NBA history belongs to Wilt. Wilts worst rebounding year is three times Jordan's best. 8.8 blocks per game to 1fir Jordan and Chamberlain has led the NBA twice in assists Jordan hasn't done it once oh I left off his scoring games 4 of 6 of the top 6 scoring games ever kobe has one Jordan has none
@@deannichols8054 you dont know anything you donkey how could jordan lead the league in rebounding when he was doing everything on the court? if you expect him to lead the league in rebounds and blocks then he he should have lead the league in every statistic plus all the rebounders and blockers in his era were only focused on certain tasks and all of the players that league the league in blocks and rebounds the years jordan played were better than wilt too and jordan was till able to lead the league in scoring against them all if jordan just focused on rebounding or blocking he would average easy 45 blocks and rebounds a game bro open your eyes olujawon was the closest thing to chamberlain in the nba and he was far better skill wise , faster and stronger than chamberlain and jordan owned him too
@@deannichols8054 jordan has higher playoff average PPG and the highest points scored in playoff history mr donks so what you on about scoring hahahahahaha and chamberlain only lead the league in assists because again I ALREADY TOLD YOU THIS MR DONKS jordan didnt just focus on 1 THING he did EVERYTHING jordan couldve pulled off more assists than john stockton if his role was just to provide assists his passes were some of the longest, deepest and fastest passes of all time why do you think he went to baseball mr donks? he could throw with almost non human velocity donkey
Nice highlights. Who was better? Not here to debate that. Wilt was more experienced here, but Kareem was in better physical shape (Wilt was like 35 with injuries). Seeing a prime Wilt against a prime Kareem would’ve been nice.
It is unfortunate that more video of Wilt’s prime years is not readily available. The man was so ridiculously strong and talented. The poor quality black and white film that is out there does not paint the true picture of just how dominate he was.
Greak Freak on the eras.. I dont think we will see another Wilt.. Back in the day, Center position is really crazy.. Post game looks like hell.. If u are center, get ready to war.. one on one againt enemies center..
Is it interesting that the NBA decided to to keep block shots only after Wilt had retired...I guess they did not want to add another stat to his already untouchable records!!!
Hey foobas, im not sure if this is the best way to reach out to you, but i was wondering if I could use some of the clips you have for a video im working on for wilt chamberlain. I will link and thank you!
@ and for that comment you needed to write and re-edit it😂😂😂 Go eat a SNICKERS MJ was, is and will always be the Mercedes-Benz of all time, period (not edited😂🙋🏼♂️)
How..... I think Wilt Chamberlain was awesome but the rules are much different.... they now are not allowed to hang out in the lane there's a 3 second defensive rule..... and check out a recent box score...... each team getting around 85 shots on goal.... things are different
Every time I hear the "Wilt played against bums and midgets" point in an argument, I think of Thurmond, Russell, Pettit, Unseld, Lucas, Lanier, Reed, Hayes or young Kareem and laugh. Wilt not only didn't play against bums and midgets, he did face most of the best big men in NBA history.
Sure i did: but we live in a world where we see what we want to! (The ass whoppin’ WNC put on KAJ is one of the things way too many people choose not to want to see!)
While Wilt wasn't in his prime when he faced Kareem, Kareem averaged 31.8 ppg to Wilt's 16.3 ppg in 17 games, I wouldn't say that Wilt dominated him. He out rebounded Kareem, but did not dominate him. Yes he blocked some of Kareem's shots, something not many people ever did. The video carefully left out all of Kareem's points just to make their argument. With that said, Wilt is a great player and in his prime would have gotten the better of Jabbar, although he didn't really have to face anyone like Jabbar in his 20s.. Spare me Bill Russell, Russell was great defensively, great rebounder and passer, but pedestrian numbers offensively. When Wilt entered the league, there were just 8 teams in the league, not a lot of dominant Big guys back in the day, plus the free throw lane was 12 foot,, and later went to 16 feet to hinder big men (Because of Wilt) Today's NBA is unwatchable. It's been ruined by the 3 pt shot. That needs to be moved to at least 28 feet out, and eliminate the corner 3's, then take the lane from 16 feet back 12. I don't know about you, but watching the Celtics launch 50 threes a game is boring. Give me the 80s Celtics style of play, or showtime. This league is garbage now.
I agree with most of what you said except with less teams it would mean you would only get the best of the best with less spots to fill and your also wrong about big men their were actually more back then. Their were at least 10 centres listed at 6 ft 11 but in todays league all of them would be listed at 7 ft or 7 ft one. Their was also a 7 ft 4 center Swede Halbrook who would be listed at 7ft 6 in today league and their were quite a few back then k=listed at 7ft who would be listed as 7ft2 today. You can check this out for yourself the information is available that's why i can not understand why people believe this myths the average height is only 1 inch different and that is because they measured players barefoot if they measured in shoes like today the average heights would be the same or even shorter.
You need to understand that Wilt is on the downside of his athletic prowess. He and Kareem ONLY had a *19-game encounter, so he couldn't have scored that much of his career points against him. If Kareem faces peek Wilt .. NO CONTEST !! .. Wilt was faster and had a higher vertical than Alcindor/Abdul-Jabbar. Kareem was a finesse type of player .. Wilt was finesse & power. The only player in NBA history that at times is discussed like he is a myth. That should tell you something.
Yeah...Kareem did score some of his 38k points against Wilt...but only broke Wilts scoring title after hanging around for 20+ years...Wilt established his record in 14 years...What was Kareem scoring feat at that time?
the only thing Kareem did better than WILT was shoot free throws. WILT is the GOAT. that was a dumb question, if WILT was in his prime vs Kareem, he would have scored 50+ ppg 25+ rpg 8+ bpg 4+ spg.
Let's get to the facts Kareem Scored more points than wilt Is True. He played six more years And in 1967 will stop scoring as much and concentrated on defense and rebounding. That's why he is the greatest rebounder in NB.A history and will never be surpassed in That category Chamberlain scored more points in his first 6 years. That most players scored in their entire careers. If he would have kept on scoring and played longer Kareem Would have never passed him Kareem play six more years And was still 5000 rebounds, short of wilt There are Not enough room. Or time To present all of Chamberlains Accomplish He is now and forever the goat
Kareem was a better free throw shooter than Wilt but other than that, I can't think of one skill that he did better than Wilt. Wilt held his own with Kareem at the end of his career, bad knee and all. If it was prime Sixers Wilt, he would have destroyed Kareem, as great as KAJ was. Kareem had the best college career of all time so if you unclude that he has a legit argument for best big man of all time but if you are just looking at the NBA, it's Wilt! As for Shaq, his peak was short. The Shaq of the Lakers three-peat could compete with Wilt in his prime but Wilt had a much better career overall, leading the league in rebounds & field goal percentage in his last couple years in the league. Of the 108 games they tracked his blocked shots in Philly, he averaged 8.8/game and if you look at this video he might have averaged more than that later while with the Lakers. Who else does that?
They Say That Michael Jordan Is The Greatest Player Of All Time When It’s Wilt Chamberlain Is; If Michael Jordan Ever Tried To Dunk On Him He Would’ve Gotten His Arm Broken And His Shoulder Separated Period The Way He Did It To Patrick Ewing When He Told Him I’m Jordan!
I just got done watching the Kentucky derby & realize there is someone faster with more stamina can jump higher can jump longer & is stronger than WNC……..a fucking horse!
Its sad that blocks and steals were not an official recorded stat when Russell and WILT played. can only imagine how many quadruple and quintuple doubles WILT would have had.
The NBA is full of crap they even think LeBron James could meet Wilt Chamberlain Wilt Chamberlain with a broke his arm he would wear them out get them under the basket and kill him and he will shoot over him. This was the best NBA player ever to play the game and y'all just don't want to believe you love to believe a lie.
Kareem won't admit it but he only shot around 40 pct vs old wilt in their last 8 gms vs each other including playoffs ....48 pct for career when his lifetime fg pct was 56 .wilt also outrebounded him or they were really close..prime Moses trashed old kareem on boards
This is terrible basketball and why you can’t ever say Wilt, Kareem or Russell is the GOAT. I can’t imagine how much Nikola Jokic, a big man that actually has skills from the paint all the way out to the 3pt line, would dominate in this era. Wilt and Kareem literally only operated within 5 feet of the rim, with their backs to the basket, taking unathletic baby dribbles trying to muscle to the basket. That's not skill. Kareem can't shoot anything but a goddamn hook and Wilt can't score unless it's a layup or dunk.
*Wilt v. Kareem RS: 16/18/4 on 57% TS (+7)* 6/11 FG (56%) & 4/7 FT (53%) per game ----------------- *KAJ vs. Wilt RS: 32/16/4 on 49% TS (-1)* 14/30 FG (46%) & 4/6 FT (73%) per game ----------------- *Wilt v. Kareem PS: 16/19/3 on 48% TS (-1)* 6/12 FG (48%) & 4/9 FT (44%) per game ----------------- *KAJ vs. Wilt PS: 30/17/5 on 49% TS (+0)* 13/28 FG (47%) & 4/6 FT (69%) per game ----------------- Wilt’s TSA increased way more than Kareem from regular to postseason and he became WAY less efficient…especially from the field. (-8% FG% & -9% FT%) Kareem essentially maintained his PPG, his volume, and TS% from regular to postseason when facing Wilt.
How would prime Wilt Chamberlain fare against prime Kareem Abdul-Jabbar?
Ten Times better…

brother if jordan never left the league twice he wouldve broken all wilts records jordan was a better blocker and rebounder he only focused on scoring because the team needed the points he wouldve averaged 20/20/20 his entire career he was physically more dominate and faster than wilt chamberlain also the rules of jordans era stopped him from truly becoming as dominate as wilt was jordan had a handicap his entire career only jordan could have stopped the celtics dynasty of the 60s no human being will ever have the power the strength skills and mentality jordan had when he passes im assuming they will name him as one of the wonders of the world he was next dimensional... wilt and kareem versus jordan 2 on 1 i'd put my money on jordan every time
@@thebuilder2018 better rebounder and shot blocker?
This alone complete invalidates your opinion because you have to be high to believe that. Jordan ever lead the NBA in blocked shots assists or rebounding. Chamberlain has Jordan never did. As for scoring 3 of the top 4 scoring years in NBA history belongs to Wilt. Wilts worst rebounding year is three times Jordan's best. 8.8 blocks per game to 1fir Jordan and Chamberlain has led the NBA twice in assists Jordan hasn't done it once oh I left off his scoring games 4 of 6 of the top 6 scoring games ever kobe has one Jordan has none
Excellent Points...😇
@@deannichols8054 you dont know anything you donkey how could jordan lead the league in rebounding when he was doing everything on the court? if you expect him to lead the league in rebounds and blocks then he he should have lead the league in every statistic plus all the rebounders and blockers in his era were only focused on certain tasks and all of the players that league the league in blocks and rebounds the years jordan played were better than wilt too and jordan was till able to lead the league in scoring against them all if jordan just focused on rebounding or blocking he would average easy 45 blocks and rebounds a game bro open your eyes olujawon was the closest thing to chamberlain in the nba and he was far better skill wise , faster and stronger than chamberlain and jordan owned him too
@@deannichols8054 jordan has higher playoff average PPG and the highest points scored in playoff history mr donks so what you on about scoring hahahahahaha and chamberlain only lead the league in assists because again I ALREADY TOLD YOU THIS MR DONKS jordan didnt just focus on 1 THING he did EVERYTHING jordan couldve pulled off more assists than john stockton if his role was just to provide assists his passes were some of the longest, deepest and fastest passes of all time why do you think he went to baseball mr donks? he could throw with almost non human velocity donkey
Remember this: Jabbar & Russell both called wilt the greatest……i see no reason to disagree with them!
Foobas...Thank you!
Much appreciated 🙏🙏
Nice highlights. Who was better? Not here to debate that. Wilt was more experienced here, but Kareem was in better physical shape (Wilt was like 35 with injuries). Seeing a prime Wilt against a prime Kareem would’ve been nice.
Not for Kareem!
Wilt being modest in that last comment!!! Wilt one of the best, the best in some people’s eyes!!!
It is unfortunate that more video of Wilt’s prime years is not readily available. The man was so ridiculously strong and talented. The poor quality black and white film that is out there does not paint the true picture of just how dominate he was.
Being available & showing are 2 different things!
Man I love Wilt! 🤣
Wilt is the GOAT period! The NBA record book proves it!
Chamberlain looks like me on my Nerf hoop. Heehee!
I like how Wilt Became Bill Russell role wise once he became a Laker
Superb thanks .Wilt was dominant on both ends of the court
🙏🙏🙏
Greak Freak on the eras.. I dont think we will see another Wilt.. Back in the day, Center position is really crazy.. Post game looks like hell.. If u are center, get ready to war.. one on one againt enemies center..
If the NBA had always kept records on blocked shots, Wilt would be #1, Russell #2, and #3 would have fewer than half of if Wilt's number of blocks.
Is it interesting that the NBA decided to to keep block shots only after Wilt had retired...I guess they did not want to add another stat to his already untouchable records!!!
Jabbar better be dammed glad he never had to face this “gentle giant” in his prime!
Without a doubt 2 of the 3 candidates for the GOAT.
Hey foobas, im not sure if this is the best way to reach out to you, but i was wondering if I could use some of the clips you have for a video im working on for wilt chamberlain. I will link and thank you!
No problem 👍
Last comment. Look how fast he got the ball out for the break.
Wilt Chamberlin was the Michael Jordan of all Wilt Chamberlins
how when michael jordan is like a piece of bubble gum on the bottom of wilts boot?
Here we go somebody got to pull Michael Jordan out of their butt.. Nobody here trying to swing on MJ's jockstrap.
@ and for that comment you needed to write and re-edit it😂😂😂 Go eat a SNICKERS
MJ was, is and will always be the Mercedes-Benz of all time, period (not edited😂🙋🏼♂️)
Wilt eleven years old with bad knees .The one and only GOAT
Wilt could easily score 50 points a game and 25 rebounds a game and 15 block shots a game and 10 assists, easily.
How..... I think Wilt Chamberlain was awesome but the rules are much different.... they now are not allowed to hang out in the lane there's a 3 second defensive rule..... and check out a recent box score...... each team getting around 85 shots on goal.... things are different
Man those rims had no give. Zero shooters’ bounce
I think I’ve mentioned this before “take away Jordan’s jump shot and he really doesn’t have that much “!
COCAINE is a helluva DRUG
Wilt was 7'1" with a 55" vertical jump
The hyperbole is strong here. The man had a 44 inch vert at best
it was recorded at a professional athletics as 48' actually monkey
Hes the goat but no one talks about him in the goat conversstion
WNC made Jabbar look like a “Plummer”!
And you make a "Plumber" look like Einstein!!!
Screw you!
Bill Russell called this Einstein/Plummer the greatest basketball player ever”! WTF is your problem?
Thank you.
Who stopping Wilt? Answer: No one.
There's the real GOAT!!
The most dominant......period
Wilt had to purposefully miss free throws to keep it fair. He could hit free throws all day.
Every time I hear the "Wilt played against bums and midgets" point in an argument, I think of Thurmond, Russell, Pettit, Unseld, Lucas, Lanier, Reed, Hayes or young Kareem and laugh. Wilt not only didn't play against bums and midgets, he did face most of the best big men in NBA history.
@@GastonTheGreat When they say that, what they're really telling you is they have no idea who played back then.
Remeber knee problems and a 11 yrs Kareem's senior,head to head both same age in there prime wilt would dominate Kareem.just too strong n athletic
That beginning quote applies to the majority of players now a days
Excellent Observation...
Love Wilt but I'm an Abdul-Jabbar guy and that won't change.
for me its both,never again will we see two GIANTS battle! full hd film of all there games would be so damn sweet
That’s your problem!
Did you not see that total ass-wooping? Ferdinand Lewis Alcindor Jr. looked like a chump, a gawd damn jv player next to the man.
Sure i did: but we live in a world where we see what we want to!
(The ass whoppin’ WNC put on KAJ is one of the things way too many people choose not to want to see!)
Still doesn’t change wilt was better
And thats old wilt playing against kareem, GSW Wilt would get 40 on kareem everytime
Look up Rick Barry's quote about who is the best center that he ever saw. And played against. A hint: it ain't Kareem. 😅
Willis Reed?
While Wilt wasn't in his prime when he faced Kareem, Kareem averaged 31.8 ppg to Wilt's 16.3 ppg in 17 games, I wouldn't say that Wilt dominated him. He out rebounded Kareem, but did not dominate him. Yes he blocked some of Kareem's shots, something not many people ever did. The video carefully left out all of Kareem's points just to make their argument.
With that said, Wilt is a great player and in his prime would have gotten the better of Jabbar, although he didn't really have to face anyone like Jabbar in his 20s.. Spare me Bill Russell, Russell was great defensively, great rebounder and passer, but pedestrian numbers offensively. When Wilt entered the league, there were just 8 teams in the league, not a lot of dominant Big guys back in the day, plus the free throw lane was 12 foot,, and later went to 16 feet to hinder big men (Because of Wilt)
Today's NBA is unwatchable. It's been ruined by the 3 pt shot. That needs to be moved to at least 28 feet out, and eliminate the corner 3's, then take the lane from 16 feet back 12. I don't know about you, but watching the Celtics launch 50 threes a game is boring. Give me the 80s Celtics style of play, or showtime. This league is garbage now.
I agree with most of what you said except with less teams it would mean you would only get the best of the best with less spots to fill and your also wrong about big men their were actually more back then. Their were at least 10 centres listed at 6 ft 11 but in todays league all of them would be listed at 7 ft or 7 ft one. Their was also a 7 ft 4 center Swede Halbrook who would be listed at 7ft 6 in today league and their were quite a few back then k=listed at 7ft who would be listed as 7ft2 today. You can check this out for yourself the information is available that's why i can not understand why people believe this myths the average height is only 1 inch different and that is because they measured players barefoot if they measured in shoes like today the average heights would be the same or even shorter.
Whoever posted this was more partial to Chamberlain, but Kareem scored some of his 38,000 plus points against Chamberlain I may add!💯
He sure did.. This video is Wilt's best highlights against Kareem.
That sky hook made Kareem's career. Being a one trick pony is fine if it's the best trick in the book.
You need to understand that Wilt is on the downside of his athletic prowess. He and Kareem ONLY had a *19-game encounter, so he couldn't have scored that much of his career points against him. If Kareem faces peek Wilt .. NO CONTEST !! .. Wilt was faster and had a higher vertical than Alcindor/Abdul-Jabbar. Kareem was a finesse type of player .. Wilt was finesse & power. The only player in NBA history that at times is discussed like he is a myth. That should tell you something.
None aganist a prime wilt!
Yeah...Kareem did score some of his 38k points against Wilt...but only broke Wilts scoring title after hanging around for 20+ years...Wilt established his record in 14 years...What was Kareem scoring feat at that time?
If you've ever seen pics of Wilt and Shaq together, Wilt was bigger...
the only thing Kareem did better than WILT was shoot free throws.
WILT is the GOAT.
that was a dumb question, if WILT was in his prime vs Kareem, he would have scored 50+ ppg 25+ rpg 8+ bpg 4+ spg.
Buen video :v
Thank you 🙏
I think I’ve said that before “take away jabbars skyhook & he really ain’t got that much”!
No you didn't trolll
take away lebrons ability to stiff arm while driving to the basket and what do you also have???
The third best all around player of all time?
(Oscar & Magic)
Let's get to the facts Kareem Scored more points than wilt Is True.
He played six more years And in 1967 will stop scoring as much and concentrated on defense and rebounding. That's why he is the greatest rebounder in NB.A history and will never be surpassed in That category Chamberlain scored more points in his first 6 years. That most players scored in their entire careers. If he would have kept on scoring and played longer Kareem Would have never passed him Kareem play six more years And was still 5000 rebounds, short of wilt There are Not enough room.
Or time To present all of Chamberlains Accomplish He is now and forever the goat
Kobe said hes the goat and put his self 2nd over micheal
Kareem was a better free throw shooter than Wilt but other than that, I can't think of one skill that he did better than Wilt. Wilt held his own with Kareem at the end of his career, bad knee and all. If it was prime Sixers Wilt, he would have destroyed Kareem, as great as KAJ was. Kareem had the best college career of all time so if you unclude that he has a legit argument for best big man of all time but if you are just looking at the NBA, it's Wilt! As for Shaq, his peak was short. The Shaq of the Lakers three-peat could compete with Wilt in his prime but Wilt had a much better career overall, leading the league in rebounds & field goal percentage in his last couple years in the league. Of the 108 games they tracked his blocked shots in Philly, he averaged 8.8/game and if you look at this video he might have averaged more than that later while with the Lakers. Who else does that?
Sky Hook meets Finger Roll
Wilt beat everything up
They Say That Michael Jordan Is The Greatest Player Of All Time When It’s Wilt Chamberlain Is; If Michael Jordan Ever Tried To Dunk On Him He Would’ve Gotten His Arm Broken And His Shoulder Separated Period The Way He Did It To Patrick Ewing When He Told Him I’m Jordan!
I just got done watching the Kentucky derby & realize there is someone faster with more stamina can jump higher can jump longer & is stronger than WNC……..a fucking horse!
Try harder gramps
GOAT
Kareem and wilt are the best NBA center EVER & EVER & EVER...
Loved them both, especially being a Laker fan, but aren't these clips a little one-sided?
Yes, which was the idea.
Its sad that blocks and steals were not an official recorded stat when Russell and WILT played. can only imagine how many quadruple and quintuple doubles WILT would have had.
The NBA is full of crap they even think LeBron James could meet Wilt Chamberlain Wilt Chamberlain with a broke his arm he would wear them out get them under the basket and kill him and he will shoot over him. This was the best NBA player ever to play the game and y'all just don't want to believe you love to believe a lie.
Kareem won't admit it but he only shot around 40 pct vs old wilt in their last 8 gms vs each other including playoffs ....48 pct for career when his lifetime fg pct was 56 .wilt also outrebounded him or they were really close..prime Moses trashed old kareem on boards
HTF to you think he would do?
This is terrible basketball and why you can’t ever say Wilt, Kareem or Russell is the GOAT. I can’t imagine how much Nikola Jokic, a big man that actually has skills from the paint all the way out to the 3pt line, would dominate in this era. Wilt and Kareem literally only operated within 5 feet of the rim, with their backs to the basket, taking unathletic baby dribbles trying to muscle to the basket. That's not skill. Kareem can't shoot anything but a goddamn hook and Wilt can't score unless it's a layup or dunk.
Wilt deserves all the credit. But remember this was before Kareem put on extra weight and perfected the skyhook.
He avereged 50points and 25 rebounds a game 4his career😮
Looks like Wilt smoked Kareem
Kareem got his fair share of points but Wilt kept Kareem's FG% below his average by 10%.
*Wilt v. Kareem RS: 16/18/4 on 57% TS (+7)*
6/11 FG (56%) & 4/7 FT (53%) per game
-----------------
*KAJ vs. Wilt RS: 32/16/4 on 49% TS (-1)*
14/30 FG (46%) & 4/6 FT (73%) per game
-----------------
*Wilt v. Kareem PS: 16/19/3 on 48% TS (-1)*
6/12 FG (48%) & 4/9 FT (44%) per game
-----------------
*KAJ vs. Wilt PS: 30/17/5 on 49% TS (+0)*
13/28 FG (47%) & 4/6 FT (69%) per game
-----------------
Wilt’s TSA increased way more than Kareem from regular to postseason and he became WAY less efficient…especially from the field.
(-8% FG% & -9% FT%)
Kareem essentially maintained his PPG, his volume, and TS% from regular to postseason when facing Wilt.
