This channel showcases rarely seen highlights of Wilt Chamberlain and the era he played in. If you are a fan of basketball you will certainly enjoy this channel and the opportunity to see rare game film and testimonial. I create my own documentaries with archive footage, and I also put together game highlights.
Career numbers 30ppg 22 boards a game! Averaged 47 minutes playing a game! Still today has NBA total rebounding record! 5000 yes from now! His records will still be there! You will never see another Wilt again!! The best player ever!! Its notneven close!!
Obviously his game isn’t as modern, but he has great speed, turns corners very well and sharp, great body control, great touch around the basket, very acrobatic finisher with floaters, flip shots, etc. funky but effective jumper that would obviously be better looking if he grew up in todays game but the touch from outside is definitely there. Looks like a prototypical foward in today’s game. Very ahead of his time with his skillset. He’s no bum at all. That man can BALL!!
Nice he was able to be one of the few players in that era to use his off hand, but it's funny he still finished on the left side of the basket using his dominant hand. He still was ahead of the curve for his era though.
He is actually the exception for having favored his dominant hand so much imo - most players used their off hand more than Jerry West did even role players in that era. West and Robertson both were kinda strange in that they dominated everyone else regardless how ambidextrous anyone else might have been even though they strongly preferred one hand
And I'll add a bit more insight from my own experience collecting tape from that era. These calls are only called once every 3-5 games on average based on my own archive film collecting so watching a single game and never seeing this call might not reveal why everyone is dribbling so stiff by modern standards, but rest assured as soon as a player deviates it gets called in that era. A better way to look at it is to look for if anyone actually carries in those full games you mention and a call gets completely ignored or missed. (You definitely will be hard pressed to find examples of players carrying but it NOT getting called. I can only think of a specific behind the back dribble by Pistol Pete I've seen where it wasn't called - but now we're entering the 70's where ball handling seeds are planted to start to loosen up as the league figured out the value of entertainment). Its extremely different than how the game is called today. I could probably find 25 examples of carrying just in 1 quarter of basketball today, and it is literally never called. Players just knew not to do it in that era because if they deviated, it got called.
@@WiltChamberlainArchive thank you for the civil reply. Apologies if mine was rude. Yt Jerry West crossover. In my opinion it isn't carrying then(no violation called) and it wouldn't be considered carrying now. Is it possible basketball was still early in its evolution and players of Wilts era hadn't developed skills with their off hand because basketball was still too new to realize the benefits of off hand dribbling? It's very rare, but occasionally you would see a player use his off hand (and no violation)
@@user-nw4ln6gr5v This was just for fun. If any center of that era tried to shoot from outside, they would have been immediately benched, even if they made it.
playing an entire season in a cast is wild lol. He seems like he would have been a problem if he grew up in the modern era just going off of his practice habits
There’s a reason Bill Russell has 11 championship rings playing against Alexa will Chamberlain and Karima build a bar. Elgin Baylor, Bill Russell was said to have the fastest second jump hop for rebounding of anybody like Dennis Rodman back in the bulls and pistons era being a super athlete is one thing, knowing how to make your team win is what makes you a goat.
J.J. Reddick is so full of himself. Delusional at best. He was never close to being an NBA all star. We’re talking about greatness and dominance during specific eras. JJ doesn’t seem to have a brains of a Duke scholar. I’m so sick of his opinions that only serve to elevate his self perceived status. He had only one tool, a great shooter but not much else. Being anything but a Laker fan I hope he gets that job. That will bring the Peter principle square into view.
Yeah ngl i used to think These 50s-70s players were just plumbers and Burger Flippers but after Watching Wilt Chamberlain highlights my entire mindset changed.. Dawg this guy Had 55 rebounds in an Actual NBA game i can barely get 40 in Mycareer on Rookie
I didn't think you'd do a Dolph Schayes video before you did the Oscar Robertson video you talked about doing back in the day haha. Still hope that can happen eventually. An Oscar video similar to Elgin Baylor-Underrated video you made would be amazing.
I can't stand the idiocy of disrespecting these old time players ... Watch the tape ! If you can play basketball , you can play period ! JJ Redick wouldn't have even made a roster back then ..
Exactly, the only reason that guys like JJ make the league in modern times is because there are so many more teams than there used to be. There are simply more spaces to fill, before all the expansion teams were added, he would've never gotten drafted.
When Wilt jump to block a shot he jump so high that when he came down he almost hurt himself.. like when he attempted to block Kareem he jump so high so eager to block Jabbar bec Jabbar scoring so well against him..
JJ is a hack at times. He debases the very giants he stands on the shoulders of. Awesome compilation on Dolph, probably the best out there now. He was one of the prototypes for true Power Forward greatness.
Gilbert ruined his own career by bringing a gun into the locker room (and shooting the basketball a bit too often). His behavior exiles him to China, but we have to tolerate his RU-vid commentaries now that he's too old for a comeback. Sad. As for JJ, he can't seem to put past eras in perspective. Shayes can shoot from long range but doesn't use a jump shot from out there, because no one was doing so at that time. And he's not muscle bound the way so many players are now--another evolutionary difference. But these highlights show he can play--score with either hand, move, pass, drive or shoot, etc. Could he play today? It's a pointless question, but I'll go with what Rick Barry said: provide those guys with the diet, training, modern travel comforts, modern medicine, etc., and they'd do fine--better in some cases because they knew how to play (and didn't carry the ball or lift their pivot feet when they started a move to the basket).
JJ and Gilbert Arenas are bucket crabs. two journeymen who did nothing with their careers and have to tear down previous generations to feel better about themselves and their mediocrity.

This never happened. Hes wearing a warriors shirt....he apparently did those 100 points for Philly.....and those free throw shots r repeat cuts of the same damn shot lmao. Biggest hoax in basketball history
