Bill Russell Sam Jones and John Havlicek just knew how to win close games. Every stats is shouting that fact but still so many people dont get it. It might be the most amazing thing in basketball ever. Havlicek won two rings in seventies as well.
HandsDown.!!! Wilt the Stilt Chamberlain, to this day, is, and most probably WILL BE, the Most Greatest Basketball Player Ever In The History of the NBA to have ever played it's game.!! Sorry, Michael. Should've worked more on your "inside" game rather than relying on Scotty and Dennis. Pfft.!!! WTF.!!...LOL...
I just want to give a big special thank you to Bill Russell for help taking the NBA on your back and carrying this Game I love so much to the heights of where the NBA is now! None of this is possible without you and what you went through to what the NBA is about like dealing with racism, segregation,and prejudices like you went through! I wasn’t born until the late 70’s and if I had kids that were into basketball like I am, I would make sure that my kids would know about the greats of the 60’s and 70’s like you Bill, Wilt, Oscar O, Magic, Bird, Kareem! You Bill set the standard and became the face of what the NBA is all about. Thank you Bill!
Demigod, created player, created in a lab whatever you want to say it all fits. One in a million athletic specimen. If this man played in the 90s or 2000s with the knowledge, nutrition, and training we have today!? My God,what we would have witnessed. Shaq is known as the most dominant and Jordan is the goat to majority. Wilt playing in those later years could have possibly changed that
“He thought, AND RIGHTLY SO, that he was the greatest basketball player that has ever lived” says it all! Thank god i got to see him play live many times as a teen.
Magic better than every last one and it isn’t even close…y? Bcuz he can play with anyone mj couldn’t wilt couldn’t….russell could bird could bcuz they were unselfish winners…mj couldn’t win with just anyone on his team!!!!
I love how the Camera doesn't even bother to show the court at all. His shot could of been a FT and the dunk from just a few feet away. The god awful camera work lets a narrator to make any claim he wants.
Obviously wilt faced more challenges than jordan. Jordan never beat a team that outnumbered his own by 2 or more hall of famers in the postseaon. Wilt did 3 different occasions Jordan never forced a single rule change to make it harder for himself but in fact was helped by rules that made the league easier for guys like him. Wilt experienced the opposite with far harder rules forcing players to play and learn at a higher level than later decades and changed 4 different rules on top of that to make it harder for wilt due to his greatness Jordan saw less hof comp in a single series at a time in postseaon team wise and position wise than wilt by far Jordan never beat a team with 5 hofs wilt beat one with 7 something jordan never even saw Jordan played in a league where u could backdown punish, wrist carry, count assists after the player takes dribbles, flagrant fouls are a thing, pace is slow where u can conserve far more energy, 2 hand check was illegal and 1 hand check was allowed and no zone defense Wilt played in a league totally opposite where zone defense and 2 hand check was legal, pace was higher n far harder to keep up with athletically, harder rims to shoot on, couldn’t backdown punish or wrist carry at all, no assist counted after the player dribbles, tip in shots count to the player who shot the ball, no flagrant fouls, etc…. Wilt >>>>>>>>> jordan obvious reality
Jabbar wasn’t even in the same class as Wilt. Chamberlain was a true athlete. Track, volleyball, weightlifting AND the greatest basketball player in history. Jabbar had one offensive move in basketball. That stupid sky hook. No comparison. Wilt was the best
against who? Wilt is overrated, why? Russell was 5 times MVP and 11 rings, including 2 as a player and coach in the same season. Wilt was 4 times MVp and 2 rings, 1 in his prime, one around Jerry West, probably a top 30 player of all time, who had 10 All-NBA First Team, 4 All-Defensive 1st Team, 1 scoring title, 1 assists leader, 1 MVP...
Can you imagine him in the league today? That tall, agile and with incredible athleticism is hard to find. Even by today's standar. His first year they'd be declaring him the GOAT.
@@donnaluke4103 If he's score in MJ's era, where bloody nose were common, can you imagine today where you could travel and hop skip all over the court with no defense? He'd average 100 plus!
Doesn't matter the rules. 60s or 90s. Shaq doesn't win this matchup. In the 60s you couldn't run over people like Shaq did, advantage Wilt. In the 90s Shaq couldn't run over Wilt, the man is the strongest player in NBA history. As Big Bob Lanier said, Wilt would move Shaq like a little girl.
They show one clip of Russell throwing up a wack hook and it going in. To the untrained eye and non true basketball fan this will be misleading to how wack Russell really was. Them teams and players back then were overrated
