I am of the opinion that Wilt Chamberlin is the greatest athlete the human race ever produced.

bo jackson

Honestly I would agree with his assertion. Bo was great, but physically we can compare a guy like Adrian Peterson to him.

We've never seen anyone like Wilt, at least not in recorded human history that I'm aware of. A long 7-footer with that kind of athleticism, strength, speed.. just unheard of really.

 

[drewsone]

Yep Wilt was awesome. He should be at least top 3 on everybody list but sadly hes discounted because he was so unbelievable

Career averages of 30 pts and 20 rebs... :x

 

[Coupé It]

I've never seen a player have so much up's and down's throught a season like JR, actually his whole career. I'm fully anticipating that as high as JR is right now (never has he been better), rock bottom (and I mean the Mariana Trench deep) is a finger-snap away.

I'm a Knicks fan cringing, rolled up in the corner in the fetal position, at the very thought of it. It's like the basketball gods have chosen to balance JR Smith's ability in the most extremly contrasting time frames.

Or maybe Earl just Earl's.

 

[mronegative]

Isn't the narrative going that wilt was a huge underachiever?

From what I understand Russell beat Wilt every year. Every. Year. Russell came into the league only a couple years before him. Wilt would dominate the regular season, get all the stats, all the superhuman hype, all the awards. Then Russell's team would bounce them from the playoffs whenever he managed to run into him, be it the Finals, East Finals, 1st round, whether they had homecourt, best record in the L or whatever. Always the same story in that 12 team (?) league.

Then like after 6 or 7 or 8 times in a row later, Wilt finally caught the Celtics slipping, slid through and got a ring. Then he joined the Lakers superteam, thinking it's a new world order. Nope, same soup reheated, the "we'll just see you in the Finals" edition. Finally Russell just retired, so now it's Wilt's time right? Nope, Knicks gave him that treatment. The Willis Reed game. Then all of the sudden a young man named Lew Alcindor did it to him. Finally that Jerry West 33 straight team happened and he got a 2nd ring right before he retired.

Wilt, even with that later ring, has basically been given the "LeBron, 5 minutes after the Heat got Dirked" consideration to this day. "He was great, but he wasn't a winner."

You can't just compare Peterson to Bo, AP never played another sport as well as Bo did baseball.

And honestly, AP may have never played football as well as Bo either. Fact is we never got Bo for a full season of NFL football. Had we, there might be even more amazing stories told on Bo's behalf.

Bo is not like anyone else. Wilt may be what Osh says, but Bo is in that mix, FIRMLY.

Bro, Bo ran a 4.12 at the combine

I don't know what AD ran, but I know its not a 4.12

Does anyone believe the Wilt Chamberlain 20k women story?

I honestly don't bruh.

Between all the games, traveling, practices, media-appearences - NO WAY IN HELL he had enough time to smash 20,000 women.

Think about it.....20,000 women.....and I haven't heard or seen one of those ladies come and vouch for his 20k milestone.

That's me though.

 

[black migo]

Lol 20k thats an arena full of chicks

I say 5-800 tops through his lifetime

Honestly, 10k isn't far fetched if your a superstar in Cali and then traveling everywhere the Hotel life, Celebrity and he's Wilt pretty much a different girl everyday a couple hrs then on to the next one not sure about 20k, these athletes get buns for sure

 

[henz0]

20k MIGHT be a stretch, but if thats what documented I believe it.

5-800 tops?? Hell no.. I know regular *** _ under the age of 30 who have slept with 200+ easily.

He could've easily slept with at least 2 chicks per game night, I'm not gonna sit here and do the math but I know a professional athletes numbers are ridiculous
