Thats more then 99% of the NFL right now. "Of note is the fact that there have been only three seven-footers in NBA history who have led the league in rebounding. One of the most common types of articles on this site is a comparison between players and teams, which can certainly be a fun way to pass some time.There have been numerous articles (generating thousands upon thousands of comments) contemplating who is the better player, Kobe Bryant or LeBron James.There have been an even greater number of articles wondering whether Kobe deserves to be ranked with Jordan, which at times sparks so much controversy it makes you wonder whether those commenting on it all are even out of grade school.Most of the questions on the “Short List” are comparisons just such as this—one of them asking “Jordan or Russell?” And there are even some articles questioning who is the greatest player of all time, with Michael Jordan being the de facto answer of a majority of those I see.Other players are always mentioned when a list of the greatest players in NBA history are worked up, including Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Oscar Robertson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Hakeem Olajuwon, and more recent players such as Kevin Garnett, Allen Iverson, Paul Pierce, and Tim Duncan.While there are valid arguments to be made that all of these players should be considered among the best players in NBA history, their accomplishments, one and all, pale in comparison to Wilt Chamberlain’s, who is, while mentioned among them, relegated far too often to second-string.Even I myself have been guilty of not always giving The Big Dipper (and don’t call him Wilt “The Stilt”; he hated that nickname) his due, but I’ve begun to revisit some of the history of the game, and have found I can no longer condone such galling inaccuracy. He almost certainly would have eclipsed by a mile the blocks per game average of today’s great centers if such statistics had been kept back then, as there are many historians who have stated he averaged double-digit blocks over the course of some seasons.Chamberlain ended his career with a total of 31,419 total points, which at the time was an NBA record. Wilton Norman Chamberlain (/ ˈ tʃ eɪ m b ər l ɪ n /; August 21, 1936 – October 12, 1999) was an American basketball player who played as a center and is considered one of the greatest players in history. On October 24, 1959, Chamberlain finally made his NBA debut, starting for the The rookie Chamberlain then shocked Warriors' fans by saying he was thinking of retiring. And one of, if not the, best athlete the world has ever seen.Hahahahhahahhahha and i almost forgot haaaaa god damn lanky bastard500lbs over a 1 meter range of motion..... 16" arms of peace, cool story brahI used to see him in the bars in Waikiki beach  in the 70's...Sitting on a bar stool he was taller than everyone that was standing....ans always surrounded by young, pretty girls.a lot of stories about this fella picking people and things upWith the possible exception of Babe Ruth, Wilt is the most dominant American Athlete ever in the history of team sports. Again, nothing could be further from the truth. His teams were never swept out of those Division (Conference) or NBA Finals.And while some may see his only having two titles over his 14-year career as a short-coming of Wilt's, I can only say they need to remember that basketball, like any of the four major professional sports, is a team game, and no one player can win titles by himself (although Wilt came close).The many teams he played on that failed to win the title were hardly comprised of Hall of Famers, as the teams they lost to, the Boston Celtics, and the 1970-71 Milwaukee Bucks were (Milwaukee had Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, then known as Lew Alcindor, as well as Oscar Robertson, John McGlocklin, Greg Smith, Bob Boozer, and Bob Dandridge).Wilt was a four-time NBA Regular Season MVP Award Winner (1960, ’66, ’67, and ’68); including winning this illustrious award in his rookie season of 1959-60, in which he also won Rookie of the Year. Highest rookie scoring average (37.6 PPG). "In fact, Chamberlain was so brutally treated by defenses that many feared he would retire after his first year, as he had hinted at just that after the year was over. If Wilt had wanted to, he could have ended his career with a scoring average ten points or more higher than it was.However, he was the consummate team player who was more than willing to sacrifice personal numbers for the betterment of the team. He loved to dunk and was a very colorful player.When he slammed it on Wilt, he really threw it down, and you could tell that Wilt didn't like it one bit.Later in the game, Gus was out on the fast break, and the only man between him and the basket was Wilt. I’m Walter Bellamy.” Wilt returned his greeting, shaking his hand and saying, “Hello, Walter. He said he never met a stronger man than Wilton Norman Chamberlain. Wilt is the only center in NBA history to have led the league in assists.Many fans of Michael Jordan, when discussions of Wilt vs. Michael are brought up, will quickly mention that Michael had a higher career scoring average than Chamberlain. DO YOU BELIEVE WILT CHAMBERLAIN WAS BENCH PRESSING 500 ++ lbs?? He famously hobbled up court, scored the first four points, and inspired his team to one of the most famous playoff upsets of all time.After his stint with the Conquistadors, Chamberlain successfully went into business and entertainment, made money in stocks and In 1976, Chamberlain turned to his interest in movies, forming a film production and distribution company to make his first film, entitled Chamberlain played a villainous warrior and counterpart of NBA players and officials were saddened at the loss of a player they universally remembered as a symbol of the sport. On the day he visited the Knicks' offices in Madison Square Garden; he talked to Red Holzman, and then strode out to the elevator.When it opened, two deliverymen were struggling with a dolly piled high with boxes of office supplies, mostly letterheads and envelopes.The load was so heavy, the elevator had stopped maybe four inches below the floor level and now the deliverymen were huffing and puffing, but they couldn't raise the dolly high enough to get it on the floor level.After maybe two minutes of the deliverymen's huffing and puffing, Wilt, his biceps bulging in a tank top, peered down at them and intoned, "Gentlemen, maybe I can help.
