If you think Michael Jordan has a case to be the number 1 NBA player of all time, or you rank him somewhere near the top, or you go by rings, or if you do any of the things that only a Michael Jordan fan would do, it's probably because of at least one of these things: Either you are uneducated about the NBA, or you are influenced by the media about Michael Jordan, or you are in love with Michael Jordan, or you are not that smart then...........................now................of course Michael Jordan fans will disagree. They don't get basic things then. So if any of you Michael Jordan fans want to prove me wrong, and debate me, you can do it on my podcast. If you would like to go on email TheTelephoneUniverse@Gmail.Com..................and now watch how most Michael Jordan fans will ignore all of this...............and they will type something negative then.
Wilt shut Jordan up on this subject when he told him truthfully, "Michael when you played they changed the rules to make it easier for you. When I played they changed the rules to make it HARDER for me." MJ had no response
It's not close. Wilt is the goat. I have seen people who know these things proclaim Wilt as perhaps the greatest athlete to ever live.
Wilt was an all around great player. Outstanding athlete.
Check out the number of games it took Jabbar to break that record. Wilt scored 4000 points in ONE SEASON. His fadeaway jumper that in the first part of his career amounted to 60% of all his point scored was unstoppable. His RPG is twice of Jabbar's. Enough said
Wilt was a true unicorn
Bill Russell removed his horn
@@surfdocer103 ha!
Anyone seen Wilt take a hook shot from 20 feet and swish one after another while talking to a reporter. He learned that form the Globetrotters.
Wilt set all those records in 14 seasons, without load management. 😲
ruclips.net/video/C2Y_RioRxO0/видео.html
13 and a fairly small fraction.
He did lose almost an entire season to knee surgery.
Yep, he had one season where he averaged OVER .. 48 minutes per game
@@bricefleckenstein9666 but I recall from reading his book A View From Above he came back for the playoffs. Correct Mr if I'm wrong. I read the book 30+ years ago.
@@alanaldpal950 Several overtime games, and he missed a total of 6 or 7 minutes all season due to a technical foul out while playing EVERY game that season.
48.5 more or less.
1961-1962 season.
He also averaged over 47.5 the season before and the season after that one, and 47.3 in 1965-1966 on his way to a 45.8 career mark.
Call him Steel Man, Russell was the Iron Man setting the #2 mark all time at 42.3 - though to be fair, MOST starters in that era averaged over 35 and a half dozen or so over 40.
Wilt WAS rather boastful and at times full-on full of shit...but what he said about doubling up his record IS factual. If Wilt Chamberlain had decided that his focus to score as many points as he can, there is nobody in the world who was going to even come close to touching his record...
A quick look at the clips and it sometimes looks like Wilt is a pro player who has decided to join the local kinder on the playground.
Wilt still has like 70 nba records and he hasn’t played in 50 years. He’s the best and it’s just not close.
How many championships? That was always the problem with him. He cared more about his numbers than winning
@@giacobbeperales5926 Nonsense.
@@giacobbeperales5926, Absolute Rubbish!!! Chips are team accomplishments! Cant use championship to define individual greatness..Bill Russell has the most chips, is he the GOAT??? Robert Horry has 5 rings, and “The Mailman” Karl Malone has 0…who’s the better player???? 🤫
@donyutejamaica631 I'll take Russell any day over Wilt. Wilt played with many great players and HOF's. He could have won more but was too selfish. Russell sacrificed individual stats for the sake of the team. Selfish players have trouble winning.
@@giacobbeperales5926 Clearly you're uneducated about the game. Bill had a far better team every year than Wilt. Get serious.
People that truly knows basketball knows that wilt chamberlain is the GOAT period!!!!
'Nuff said. Guy took it easy on opponents-especially after he dunked once and the ball broke a dudes foot after it went through the hoop.
1000%
You are absolutely correct! Wilt is on top then it's everyone else shooting for No. 2! I saw Wilt play a lot, in person or on TV, and there's no one close to him. A little story. Wilt's Warriors played Syracuse in an exhibition in my home town high school and I didn't go! I know Philly won and Wilt scored 42 but I didn't see it. I also listened to his 100 point game on the radio (there was no TV) and fell asleep when he hit 96! I was 15 at the time but couldn't stay awake!
Amen wilt is definitely the goat he literally dislocated a guys shoulder after he blocked his shot
If course Wilt is the Goat💯
Kareem was a great scorer with the sky hook, turnaround jumper, etc... but Wilt was a great scorer himself, he just started doing other things like getting more assists in the half court and focusing on defense, rebounding, and outlet passing. Kareem has the single best shot I've ever seen in the sky hook but Wilt is the most dominant big man I've ever seen. Wilt was a great shot blocker/defender, rebounder, outlet passer, was right up there with the best passing centers ever in the half court.
You think he was as good of a passer as jokic?
@@JohnnyRodgers3 No, but top 5 all time
@@TimSpangler-v9i I think he's #2 at his position
Yes Wilt had to focus on other things aside from scoring because none of his teams were ever going to win a title with him as a high scoring go to guy.
Anyone seen Wilt take hook shots? Best I have seen in over 50 years. Easy for him at 20 feet. It is on You Tube. Watch Happy Hairston's eyes when he was doing that. Wow!
So many Goat stories but to me , it’s no question- Wilt was the Goat in basketball and the Babe was the Goat in baseball
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar broke records that Wilt Chamberlain set. However, he never came near Wilts' defensive records official ones or his numbers relating to blocks....
In many ways, Wilt was twice the player than any other big in basketball history because he could play both ends, score, pass, and defend like Bill Russell...
He even surpassed Bill Russell as a captain....33 games on the trot that's never been close to being broken and still the target that every team aims for in a season!
Surpassed Russell? Not hardly.
@@PoliticusRex632 Got 55 rebounds against Russell. Look it up
they changed the Rules of the game because of Wilt
22ppg in your playoff career is NOT twice above any other Center much less player ever.
Wilt played against short centers for most of his career. He didn't stop Kareem dude when they were head to head. I saw both. You obviously didn't!
Wilt was unstoppable.
RIP Bill Walton
Walton was the only player I ever saw who NEVER made a wasted move on the court. He always was aware of where he was and his mates . Watch film. He was about to show the the world how great he was and would have been, when his career altering injury occurs with his team at 50-10and rolling . He would have been nearly unstoppable .

Note that Wilt is STILL #10 on the regular season minutes played list - despite all of the Top 9 having played at least 4 more full seasons.
OVER 48 minutes a game for an ENTIRE season
@@TimSpangler-v9i #1 on the "average minutes per game" list all time - with Bill Russell #2.
@@bricefleckenstein9666 Wilt had more endurance than anyone
Wilt was a track and field star too.
Anyone that thinks the GREATEST OF ALL TIME is anyone other than WILT has no perception of WILT'S GREATNESS and the fact that he alone changed basketball forever 🏀
Chamberlin. Enough said
They changed NBA rules because of the ability of both Wilt and George Mikan. In Wilts case they made it so you could couldn’t jump past the free throw line and land in the key on a free throw and in Mikans case they both widened the key to minimize his dominance and instituted the shot clock after the Ft. Wayne Pistons held the ball all game resulting in the lowest scoring game in NBA history. If they have to change rules because of your talent, seems to me you’ve got a case for GOAT bragging rights. Also, in Mikans favor, was when he went to play the Knicks at MSG one time, the marquee said “George Mikan vs. Knicks” not “Lakers vs. Knicks”.
How many years did it take Steph Curry to break Wilt’s record for the Warriors 13, it only took Wilt 6.
WOW!!
It's kind of sad we don't have more film on wilt. No cameras were at his 100 point night. People can't see the true GOAT. They hear us older people and think we know nothing about BB. What fools, they can't take the time to look up what little film there is on Wilt. They will never know how he had his front teeth pushed up into his gums, then only missed 1 game, and people think the 80's were tuff. LOL. Walton himself, told a story of Wilt throwing a football, underhanded some 90 yards at the beach.
Jordan fans hate anything that's not about Michael jordan.
Think about records. Wilt still holds over 70 records, he has not played in over 50 years
Yeah, they got brainwashed by ESPN's Sports Center. Sports Center needed something to keep people coming back so it was MJ, MJ, MJ from dawn to dusk. So the casual fan thought MJ was the GOAT. MJ was the GOAT Scoring Guard, but overall GOAT??? Wilt still hold more records than anyone and its been 50 years since he played. THAT'S THE GOAT!!!
@@alfredhernandez9799 GOAT
Agree 💯👍
If you saw Wilt play - end of story.
Bill’s enthusiasm for the game was unsurpassed -RIP
Wilt played one year with the Harlem Globetrotters when he was in his prime at the start of his career...How many points would he have scored that year if he had played in the NBA?
Walton was possibly best college player ever. Jabbar ( Alcindor ), Pistol Pete and Christian Laetner up there as well.
Walton probably best story teller in NBA history.
Back in the day professional athletes were natural athletes, today most are made athletes being trained from childhood similar to the Spartans training their children to be warriors to go to war.
I've never seen an athlete in any sport, NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, Track, Swimming, whatever, perform as good or better at age 39 than 22-year-olds.
Well..... darts.
Nolan Ryan ring a bell? Tom Brady? Gordie Howe?
Had a monster fade away ..
I love you Bill. ☺️
Chamberlain is a Top Five. On fact Dr J should be a Top 5 as well. The rest? Jordan, Magic and Bird.
I have said for many years you cannot pick an overall GOAT in a sport that has different roles for different players. For example, many want to proclaim Tom Brady as the NFL GOAT, but you naturally think they are talking about QB, not receiver, center, TE, LB, etc.
So of course MJ was not the GOAT of the entire NBA, rather he would be my pick as the #1 starting shooting guard. My pick of point guard would be Magic, my small forward would be Bird, my power forward would be Malone or Duncan, and center would be Chamberlain. Who will beat them consistently?
Others could pick 5 completely different starting GOAT's of those positions, and it would be one heck of a treat to watch them in a 7 game series. HOWEVER, if my team won the series, or their team did, which individual player/s made the difference?
The point being that basketball like other team sports is made up of various specialists, and quality coaching that can put the puzzle together to win championships.

I've never seen LeBron be the best rebounder.
Not typically a great rebounder but LeBron did grab 20 boards 1/27/2024 against GSW. He also had 12 assist and 36 pts. Not a bad game for a 39 year old.
@@mustangwl I'd call him good, not great - and 20 doesn't really impress me when RODMAN averaged 18+ one season - and that season as I recall doesn't even crack the all-time Top 50 (I'm 100% sure it didn't crack the Top 20, that list is owned by Chamberlain and Russell with ONE entry by Nate Turmond).
On his team a gazillion times.
LeBron led all players (on his team and the opponents) for rebounds per game in two Finals (along with most ppg and assists per game)-- once-- and all of that that plus most blocks and steals per game, in another Finals.
@@phillipschuman4307 10 trips to the Finals - and he's still #4 on the Finals rebounding list, with ALL 3 ahead of him having fewer trips.
Wilt has half again as many as Lebron, in *6* total trips.
Bill? 2 more trips but 3 *TIMES* as many Finals rebounds.
Eljin he MIGHT catch if Lebron gets into the Finals - but Eljin only made the finals 7 times.
An occasional 20 rebound game isn't all that impressive - good, NOT great.
Rodman was noticeably shorter than LeBron - but spent half his career as a MUCH better rebounder.
Bill Walton couldn't carry Wilt's shoes.
lol no one can🤡
Walton was a beast when healthy and as good as anyone that ever played...that being said, Wilt is the greatest hands down
@@Grandpa_Moses "when healthy" -- his horrible training "habits" had him only play in the equivalent of six seasons..... too much drug use while following the Dead.
@@csnide6702 can't be more wrong...bad ankles and feet, big man's issues...he had over a dozen surgeries...please do some research before making stupid comments
@@Grandpa_Moses if he can't play basketball due to foot issue - HOW is he a "beast " or "All time great"... his feet worked just fine for standing at Dead shows while being PAID to play Basketball.... SIX YEAR CAREER - PERIOD.
His comments about LeBron were interesting as my own opinion about Bill are the same (as is his opinion regarding Wilt as the GOAT), he undoubtedly was the focus that lead that ragtag team to world championship by excelling in all phases of the game.
Great stories, that sounded like Wilt.
Wilt’s records seem mythical but were real. In 1960 he grabbed 55 rebounds in one game & averaged 27.2 rebounds per game in 1960-61. In 1961-62 he averaged 50.4 points per game while playing 48.5 minutes per game (compare that to today’s “fragile” athletes). Blocks were unofficial then but he averaged 8.8 per game in his career. He blocked Kareem 17 times in 1972. In 1968 in the same game he achieved 53 points, 32 rebounds, 24 blocks & 14 assists.
If Wilt had any idea that internet would be a thing he would have set scoring record so high that Le Racist would have had to play till 50 to break it. Wilt was so dominant he was bored half the time. Wilt was sensitive about being labeled a scorer that he decided to lead league in assists one year.
Wilt NEVER fouled out of a game. Wilt didn't subscribe to load management. He not only played every game one season he played every minute of every game. A fan buys a ticket to his game he WILL PLAY!
Many great players gave played in NBA. NONE of them despite the hype are even close to WILT. Wilt been retired 40+ years and still owns about 70 NBA records.
The world we live in is mostly hype. MJ did this, Shaq did that, did you see what Le Racist did?
Modern players have a platform and love to tell us how great they are. Young people get this rammed into their head and believe it.
Wilt is the G.O.A.T hands down.
MJ most hyped
Magic best at making his teammates better.
Bird best basketball IQ
Rodman best defensive player
Stockton best point guard
Le Racist best conditioned.
Russell best champion.
Curry best shooter
Wilt best rebounder
Wilt best shot blocker
Draymond Green in convo for dirtiest player.
All of this GOAT debate,rages on. The one thing all the debaters steer clear off,like kryptonite,is a CRITERIA for GOAT.
So,I challenge any and all to articulate their criteria for GOAT! I guarantee nobody takes me up on that challenge.
Easy now, I debate those type of people all of the time. Your not the only one who knows they are ridiculous then. If you want to play those debates you can find the link in the description section.
BIRD BEST TO BUILD A TEAM AROUND COULD DO IT ALL!!
everybody in the n.b.a. is better because of the lack of defence. i have been an n.b.a. fan since 1955,and in today,s game it is rare.
ruclips.net/video/7ZyPz5eh5jk/видео.html
Is it lack of defense, or because traveling calls are near none existent along with the 'carry' dribbling that is the norm? Advantage Offense
Gustavequevous6904 has it 110% correct!!!
It is easy to keep going when you are juiced up.
ruclips.net/video/Vf9Wp1yRoBQ/видео.html
Wilt is a Demi god
I have been a Lakers fan since the 1950's and Elgin is my GOAT. Kareem was a fabulous, once in a lifetime player...........but he was NOT Wilt Chamberlain!!! Wilt is the best center EVER!! but Elgin is my GOAT
The guy is a real snob. Only had a couple of good years. Over rated at best.
It is the basketball hall of fame. Not the NBA hall of fame. So go reserach things because you come to a conclusion, especially when your conclusion is negative and makes no sense.
Wilt is the most overrated American sports player of all time
Yeah, a great athlete, but not a team player, all concerned about his stats, not championships
There are many problems with what you wrote, would you like to go on my program and go over what you wrote?
Hey Mr. W. I saw you courtside at the Jan 1974 game vs Notre Dame. I worked for the ND athletic dept. I waa a senior. Not to rub it in but I watched you put up your last two shots from about ten feet out that missed the mark as we broke your famous 88 game win streak. Also got to meet John Wooden. Sold his book "They call me coach" to the crowd. That has to be the only week we were ever ranked #1 - until we flew out to LA a week later for the return matchup and got our butts handed to us.
Wilts career stats! 30ppg 22 boards per game averaged 47 min per game! Even today, has the total NBA rebounding record!!! He is the best ever!! Not even close!!! 5000 yrs from now, Wilts records will be on top!!
Wilt only played 14 years. LeBron has played 5,271 years to catch Wilt and Kareem. Hardly an impressive achievement if you have to stick around for over 20 years to accomplish something. The mos mediocer player can set all the records if they play long enough. Now, LeBron is not a mediocre player, but for him to chaim GOAT status is absurd.
Wilt was a nice guy who didn’t want to injure or embarass guys. If he had Jordans killer instinct and todays modern health & wellness fitness regime... OMG who knows how long he’d of played!
