The GOAT of the NBA: the greatest player's impact ever - Wilt Chamberlain

A short video clip for sports fans. I know there's a lot of debate about the Greatest of All Time (GOAT) in the NBA and who was better. I certainly think Bill Russell was a champion player, teammate, and legend. But for the record, just watch Wilt Chamberlain MOVE Bill Russell by just using his forearm--and strength. Watch Russell fight for balance and position. I have a lot of other reasons to be a Wilt fan--especially because so many (close to 90) records still are intact--50 years after Chamberlain retired. By the way, the record for rebounds in a game (55) is held by Wilt--against Russell's Celtics. 

And I grew up in Wilt's era. I saw him on TV. He was unstoppable--against top opponents like Abdul-Jabbar, Willis Reed, and Nate Thurmond.
Rules were changed because of Wilt: goal-tending (he would go so high up for shots that the refs didn't believe it possible), widening the lane (6 to 12 feet), not entering the lane after shooting a free throw (Wilt used to take a running leap from the line and dunk). THOSE were Wilt's comments to Michael Jordan about "Who had the most influence." Wilt said, "They changed to rules to make it harder for me. They changed them to make it easier for you."
By the way: Wilt NEVER fouled out of a game. EVER. And he averaged 48 minutes.

(Wilt's strength was another story. When he dunked, there were times the ball bounced up as high as the rim after hitting the floor. He definitely dislocated Gus Johnson's shoulder by blocking an incoming dunk; Wilt didn't like being disrespected like that. And he broke Johnny Kerr's toe when he slammed one that hit Kerr's foot. Big Bob Lanier, who stood 6'11 and weighed 270, said "Wilt picked me up like a coffee cup and moved me for better position.") And that IS Gus Johnson, at 6'6", 245, being thrown off the court by Wilt. And Gus was one POWERFUL man himself. Not to Wilt: "You go there. I want this spot."

Wilt also stopped a bench of players from coming on the court simply by walking toward them: it was said they all stopped like they hit a wall. They almost did: a human wall. Wilt's shoulders were huge.
