Life of a Giant

He was the rookie of the year, he had 2 rings, he had 31,419 points of his career, he had 23,924 rebounds, he had 4,643 assists he was a monster in the paint (under the hoop), he was the biggest guy they have ever seen at that time. He was Wilt Chamberlain.

                     

Chamberlain was a prodigy at scoring that’s all he did and I think that’s all he knew how to do. He didn’t average a lot of assist or that many blocks it was all about out scoring his opponents and have a lot of rebounds. His biggest opponent was 11 time NBA champion Bill Russell. When those were on the court the audience didn’t know what side to be on they were just happy to see the best players in the NBA at that time.

Chamberlain had a 2 decade rivalry with Bill Russell because of Russell criticizing of the way chamberlain played. So that effected their entire personal life.  He said that he had 20,000 sexual relationships with women and never married or had children, Which goes to show he was a ladies man. Chamberlain died of Congestive heart failure in 1999.

Wilt Chamberlain has been mentioned as the 10 player of the NBA. And that was his goal to be if not the greatest, then one of the greatest basketball player ever in the NBA. But if it came down to it I would say he is the best scoring NBA player who ever lived and that’s a fact. I think it would take  miracle to see someone as tall as he was come into the NBA and do what Wilt Chamberlain did I would love see it happen.
