PG: Magic Johnson SG: Michael Jordan SF: Larry Bird PF: Tim Duncan C: Wilt Chamberlain

Some nerd said he couldn’t dribble or go coast to coast.

Hakeem is not bad???????? Seriously?! I can't believe J-Kidd just called HAKEEM THE DREAM "not bad". Come on man...That "not bad" guy kicked the living hell out of your Shaq in the finals, to say the very least. J-Kidd is my fav PG, Hakeem is my fav C, It wasn't nice to hear this.

Kirk's battles with Wade were a thing of beauty. Probably lost more than he won because Wade's a HOFer but Kirk definitely held his own and made it very tough. Nice to see him get some respect.

Goaltending

@jaranarm are you @lazeruss by any chances lol

Man. Watching this makes it obvious how green Jabbar is here and how much his game sharpened as he got older. I thought that skyhook was always so perfect, but looking at the video makes it obvious how he perfected over the years.

Big cactus

And he passed Kareem 🎉

If Wilt could hit free throws, he might just be the indisputable greatest ever. Still the most gifted athlete to ever play the game, in an era where athleticism wasn’t near that seen today or even 20-30 years ago. But he couldn’t. And didn’t. And mopped at times… still arguably top 5 all time though. He was just that dominant a force (fwiw, if Shaq could hit FTs and had a better approach to fitness and training he might well be there too - but he did neither so he’s back end of the top dozen players ever). Russell is the greatest winner the games ever seen and has become overlooked. Yea it was largely a different era, but he was utterly dominant in the greatest dynasty ever. But it’s fair to question era and offense in the goat discussion. MJ had no weakness. None. Zero. Supremely athletic. Dagger in the heart focus and clutchness. Exceptional defender (among the best ever) and the best overall unstoppable offensive force ever seen, all the more so in big games and big moments. Not sure there’s a sport where the GOAT is as clear as hoops. Jordan is the single greatest force I’ve ever seen in athletics. @jaranarm

He forgot that Wilt nearly ripped his arm off Selective memory

Wilt was great but he played against midgets

i thought he is old greg popovich

THAT, is what a man who has reached enlightenment looks like. He figured out the secret, that you are God, so start acting like Him!

Man I miss them bulls heat days. Great times

When Wilt was still at school, his friends would visit his home and they all said that Wilt had a 350Ilb plus dumbbell set in his bedroom... Wilts strength was earned by hard effort, not just genetics? What was Wilts ambition in sport? The decathlon 10 events are: 100 metres, 400 metres, 1500 metres, 110 metre hurdles, long jump, high jump, pole vault, discus throw, javelin throw, and shotput. With Wilts strength, speed, vertical and stamina he would have broke records in this sport...

If celtics don't win after Walton passing. Then, it is truly regrettable stuff and also shameful of the entire league.

RIP Bill! Even though none of us KNEW him personally, we all felt like we knew Bill through his commentary! He seemed like a genuine guy and one of the nicest and most approachable guys you could ever meet! He will be missed!

goal tend, but ref probably choked on his whistle as he gasped.

R.I.P Bill Walton❤! 2. Wilt vs Russell: I have Russell by a lot. i think that when you break a player down by skillset you tend to think less about how adroitly that skillset was used, the consequences of misuse, and the root causes of the misuse. And I think all of those things things relegated to the background have everything to do with why Russell's teams were more successful than Wilt's teams. I also think that while Wilt certainly wins the scoring & offensive comparisons over Russell handily, it's really crucial in any analysis of Wilt to think very deeply on the implications of '66-67. That change in role Wilt made there would never have been chanced if Wilt's coach (Alex Hannum) didn't see major issues with how Wilt approached volume scoring, and the fact that the team's offense got far better with that change means he saw true. Thus, if you don't have an explanation for what Hannum saw, you know you don't understand Wilt. ​@jaranarm

Rip Big Red

ROGER ( RAJA BROWN ) was an ABA SUPER STAR ⭐️ and was a HOLCOMBE RUCKER PARK LEGEND. RAJA BROWN PLAYED AT THE VERY FIRST SITE THAT HOLCOMBE RUCKER HAD AT ST. NICHOLAS PARK SOUTH ON 7th Ave west 128th street #survivingruckerpark #jumpshotsovergunshots

Basketball is a game for everyone All you have to do is figure out how to be born with long legs and long arms

Wilt Chamberlain is the NBA GOAT, no doubt, and arguably the greatest "supersized" athlete of all time.

Wilt it just wemby but cant shoot

He had to be fast to get through 20,000 women.

1 Magic 2 Air 3 Lebron 4 Hakeem 5 Wilt Wilt had 💯 pts in a game, avg 23 rpg, & prob avg >10 bpg (not a stat til his last 2 seasons where he avg’d 8.8). Kobe was still 19 pts away from Wilt when he finished w/81 & benefited from a 3 point line

If only one center can play the center along the tall great centers it is Herman Knowles but if there's a tall center and forward or hand skill and strong player the other player could be is a fwd of the street ball players "Sgt Rock" or a skilled leaping ball rebound handler. But there is 7 footer of the street game before of their days......

To the 80year old blowhard wilt hater: you don’t know WTF you’re talking about!

He is the GOAT! No question.

I saw him at university of Kansas on defense he intercepted a pass took it full length of the court in four steps was awesome

I heard he was so big that he had sex with two women at the same time and they never even met.

Wilt is the greatest Center of all time and the most dominant of all time, without a doubt. And in my opinion, Wilt is the greatest athlete of all time.

One Chicago guy acknowledges another. I love it! And yes, We claim Kirk because he grew up in Iowa and was a huge Bulls fan.😂😂😂

Facts!!!👍🏾

GOAT

Dominant in every word. And kind

Name of the song?

Two words The Best

Wilt at 50+ made Jordan look humbled in a room. He was the most intimidating athlete in history and isn't even close.

Bill Walton in that commercial is hilarious. Shaq hates him.

I love Wilt Chamberlain. He plays very techniques and discipline

I would go as far as to say he is stronger than Ben Wallace and even Shaq. Only Wilt was stronger which even Artis himself admitted.

He was Alex Caruso before Alex Caruso.

In my opinion, Mark Eaton was the most eloquent speaker among all NBA players, even more so than Kareem or Dr. J. This is evident of his education - at home and at school - and intelligence. Respect!

It is so hard to pick the one you beat in the final to be your all-time starting five

PG Magic, SG MJ the GOAT, SF Larry Bird, PF Duncan and C Kareem. Benches: Stockton, Pippen, Kobe, Shaq, Hakeem, Reggie and Dirk.

Jaranarm: Where have you been? Here's my answer to "why every hof player that Wilt played against, couldn't do what Wilt did" 1.) Because he's a better offensive weapon than them. Most bigs from that really inflated time-frame were not scorers, guys like Wayne Embry, Bill Russell, Walter Dukes weren't scorers... It's kinda like asking the question in 2000 why did Shaq average 30 a game but Mutombo and Theo Ratliff just 12? 2.) Other players did have insanely inflated stats. The same year Wilt averaged 50 Oscar averaged a triple double, Baylor averaged 38 & 19, Pettit 32 & 19, Walt Bellamy averaged 32 & 19 as a rookie which is his career high and was around 19 & 13 in what should have been his prime years. Teams averaged 119 points per game (the highest ever) despite no 3pt line and only shooting 42% from the floor. Teams took 109 shots a game compared to teams now taking 89 shots a game, 37 free-throws a game compared to 22 now.. Literally everything was inflated. \- It's not really about why Wayne Embry didn't average 50 as much as it is trying to compare Wilt's numbers to modern elite scorers numbers. Really anything by even the 70's as pace had already dropped by 20+ possessions even then.. He played 130 possessions compared to playing all 48 minutes today being just 99 possessions. Not to even factor in that no team today would actually play their star 48 minutes a night. \- Look at it this way in Wilt's monster first 5 years he averaged roughly 42ppg, and played 2.4 more minutes above the next highest mpg player for those years. If you were to adjust that to a per-75 possessions average that's around 25ppg. His 50ppg year was only 1 point per possession more than the following year and 4 points per possession more the year after that.. But because pace had dropped from 130 to 115 his actual scoring dropped by 14 ppg. Everything in basketball is relative to pace, if you're on the floor for 30 more shots you're going to put up a massive amount more in raw counting stats. If Wilt played at today's pace, and still maintained that 2.4 more minutes than the league leader he would be on the floor 83 possessions a game. Assuming everything else remained true his 50ppg year is roughly 32ppg, his 5-year average of 42ppg is 27ppg. \- It's not a knock on Wilt by any means, it's just that comparing raw per game counting stats 60 years apart is a really shitty way to view players in general. This is why we have pace-adjusted stats to begin with, it's why advanced stats that span different eras adjust numbers on a per-100 possession basis. \- Quite a few players have actually out-paced Wilt on a per-possession level, both at an overall level and a relative to league average level in output and efficiency. Is there some manual adjustment to make to give him extra credit for playing so many minutes at that era and pace, possibly but we are still so far off from being able to compare per-game to per-game from then - now.. It would kinda be like if they turned off the shot clock completely and one team held the ball forever so the leading scorer ended with 8 points. Can you compare that 8 points to someone getting 30 in a regular game if that player's team only had the ball for say 10 possessions? \- Maybe this will make more sense. Jordan averaged 40 points per 100 possessions on his career.. That's 53 points per 131 possessions that Wilt played at that season. His best year 46.4 per 100 would be 61 points per 131.. That's why the numbers simply can't be looked at from that perspective, tons of other players would likely have freakish numbers if you just handed them an extra 40 chances to get up a shot, assist, rebounds, etc. \- Again, it's not a knock on Wilt by any means. He's still one of the most impressive players ever even making more realistic adjustments. It's just comparing those numbers at a basic per-game level isn't even a remotely level playing field. It's kindof like me saying *"How is Larry Bird considered a great shooter if he only made 649 threes in his career when guys now make 3,000+ of them"*, knowing damn well that playing in that era it wasn't possible to get up that many threes because of the play-style.. Just like now it's impossible for players to get 130+ trips up the floor without playing every single minute of a game that goes into 4 overtimes.

On February 14, 1975 Julius Erving of the New York Nets scored a career high 63 points in a quadruple overtime battle against the San Diego Conquistadors in the ABA. Erving also grabbed 23 rebounds and 8 assists in the losing effort while pouring in 66 minutes of playing time.

@jaranarm What was Wilts scoring in the other 42.3% of games he wasnt facing Bill? Also a big reason why people rag on Wilt vs MJ for this is the drop off from the regular season, Wilt scored 39.6 ppg on 51.1 fg% in the regular season and 32.8 ppg on 50.5 fg% so about a 6.8 ppg drop off between the regular season and playoffs with slightly worse efficiency. MJ for comparison averaged 33.2 ppg on 51.8 fg% in the regular season and 34.6 ppg on 50.2 fg% in the playoffs so a 1.4 ppg increase on slightly worse efficiency, that big drop off for Wilt is generally a big reason why people rag on Wilt for his playoff stuff. Now you can certainly and fairly argue Wilt faced his best defender in the playoffs very often which is why im curious how Wilt preformed in the other games.
