Man this guy was ridiculous, he was better than anyone ive seen in my day, more dominant than shaq and a better scorer than iverson and tmac put together. This cat could ball.
Wilt was the best he was like shaq is now only more dominant now you see little guards coming down the lane and there shaq waits, i remember watching wilt play and after one game they had an interview and he said that he was a brick wall and the little men were cars running into him. he was better than mj kareem and everybody else. I also had to do a report on wilt a few years back i got an A to
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting The Answer 21:</div><div class="quote_post"> I also had to do a report on wilt a few years back i got an A to </div>Nice. I'm really glad I did that report on him. I really never had any idea of how dominating he actually was. I knew he was great, but now I consider him the best of all time.
Is it true that there was no 3 second in the key rule, and that is how Wilt always scored - always staying in the hole? Just a rumor, might be true.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting All-Star:</div><div class="quote_post">Is it true that there was no 3 second in the key rule, and that is how Wilt always scored - always staying in the hole? Just a rumor, might be true.</div> I don't think that is true but I'm not 100% sure.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Wave:</div><div class="quote_post">Are you implying that rings make a player? Some of the best players never won one ring much less two.</div> I know this was a while back, but its true. Some of the greatest players ever have never won rings. One of the greatest 50 is Patrick Ewing, and he never won a ring. And same story with other greats.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Rudeezy:</div><div class="quote_post">I don't think that is true but I'm not 100% sure.</div> The three-second violation was implemented after Wilt's rookie year to lessen his impact. Same year the offensive goaltending rule was implemented. Needless to say that didn't affect Wilt much as his best years were still ahead.
It should also be noted (if it already hasn't) Wilt is the only rookie to be Rookie of the Year and MVP in the same year (unless I am wrong). http://www.nba.com/history/awards/19591960.html Other facts: - He was responsible for the goaltending rule - He lead the league in assists in 1968 - He has made 35 consecutive shots on Febuary 17-28, 1967 - He was also responsible for the widening of the lanes and rules governing inbounding the ball and shooting free throws - He lost his virginity when he was 5, because he was 5 feet tall already. He has had sex with over 20,000 women, more than even Ron Jeremy and Peter North COMBINED! Woah! - There were like a couple minutes left when he got 100 points, he would've got more points if the ref's didn't end the game too early. Wilt is obviously better than M.J., despite winning only 2 championships.

Nobody will do that again, at least for now.

And when he led the league in assists in 68. Does anybody know how much he averaged?
i had to do a report my freshmen year too and i did it on chamberlain i got an A+ or 105...because of extra pictures

Oscar Robertson did, with 9.7 APG, Chaimberlain was 2nd with 8.6. http://www.nba.com/history/assists/19671968.html
Dag, but didn't he lead the league in assists one year? Could've swore I heard that on espn some time ago.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting 30 standing ver:</div><div class="quote_post">Dag, but didn't he lead the league in assists one year? Could've swore I heard that on espn some time ago.</div> If you mean by Assists per game, no. And if you mean the total of assists in one season, 99% of a chance, no. He did not lead the league in assists in any season, though he got very high on the list (number 2 in 1968 with 8.6 APG). I may be wrong, but I checked at www.nba.com/history.
