The game of Basketball has been my passion since I was 5 years old. I grew up as a kid watching my dad's recorded VHS tapes of playoff games through the 70s and 80s, and collected all the Basketball cards. Something about the game and what it represents just hooked me from a very young age.
My love for the game only continues to grow as time goes on. I love studying and analyzing the game, with an unbiased perspective. Feel free to subscribe, follow me on social media, and celebrate this amazing game and it's rich history with me!
I post videos every week on NBA history, predictions, hypothetical scenarios and current NBA topics.

What is the single most impressive thing Wilt has ever done??
Below are the timestamps to all the different segments.

16:50 NBA Records if Wilt Chamberlain Did NOT Exist
24:19 The Story of Wilt’s 100

38:35 Greatest Athlete EVER
48:54 A Valid Quintuple-Double?
54:55 If Legends Played Wilt’s Minutes
hiii
im first
I think his 48.5 minutes per game is crazy and it will never be broken
Even if it's not official, I think the quintuple double is the most impressive thing he's ever done. The 100 point game will be broken before someone drops that kind of stat line.
YO JOHNNY! PLEASE READ THIS!!!
how come no one talks about wilt having played the second most HOFers at his position(only behind Kareem and parish who both played 7+ more seasons than wilt)
and EVEN tho he played against LESS HOFers, im pretty sure he still played the most total games matched up against another hof center
PLEASE MAKE A VIDEO ON THIS!!!
HE WAS GOING AGAINST BACK TO BACK HOFers IN THE PLAY OFFS!!

Wilt Chamberlain Archive is one of the greatest CZcams channels. Right up there with Jonny Arnett
Loooooove that channel. "70sFan" has a lot of gems too
Only real ones know. And 70s fan has the most comprehensive Moses Malone breakdowns of any channel!
Truly rapturous stuff for hoops junkies such as ourselves.
@@jonnyarnettwe need a Kobe video Damnit .. Forget Wilt
@@jiggafromstatefarm9997 Kaizer basketball has a 9hr Kobe comp so there's that.
@@jonnyarnett 100% agree,
I found it when I was looking for info and videos about Mikan's career,
and I've loved it ever since,
perhaps the lack of videos contributed to making the legacy of all those champions between the 50s and 60s greater
but i personally think if they had all the stats we have today at that time ( or at least they started counting blocks and steals from the first nba season for example )
and the title of MVP of the regular seasons and the Finals had always existed,
not only would we talk more often about Mikan, Pettit, Russell, Chamberlain, etc...
but the legacy of the other great players of the following decades would also be reduced
Imagine the Finals MVP titles, the record is Jordan's with 6,
but I am convinced that Russell could have won it at least 4-5 times,
same thing for Mikan,
at least 4 regular season MVP titles and probably as many Finals MVP titles if not more
The most disrespected all time great. He has a legit goat case and would dominate even more today. 48 minutes per game in a pair of chucks. That's insane.
spot on.... it p*sses me off how much he gets disrespected. None of it makes sense... to add to all this, blocks & steals werent counted. yet, the reality is, wilt had tons of games where he got 10 blocks or more. & he even had some 10+ steal games. b/c of the blocks, it should easily be the all time triple double player. & he probably had 2 to 5 quin games when he went over 10 steals.... most dominating player ever, easy.
48.5 minutes
And WHILE doing that, he NEVER fouled out. That's just astounding, considering how often players resorted to fouling him as a last-resort to stopping him.
crimson - absolutely right on.... 55 rebounds, in a single game, vs bill russel 's celtics - unfathomable amount of speed. stamina, strength, intelligence, skill needed for that single stat line, pure domination ...they say "video game" numbers, you cant even do this in a video game, i have tried :) ... #13 is a L E G E N D - you can see the magic even on the grainy low frame rate film, this man is graceful, in control, and on another f*n level - and anytime i mention him as the GOAT all they have to say is he couldnt do it todays league... HAH - truth is he'd be bigger than life in any era especiallly the way the floor is spread today .. in season rebound records, there is only one name in the top 5 spots WILT WILT & WILT ... too strong too fast and an unnecessary 50in vertical
@@jimwinchester339 before the famous hack-a-shaq, there was hack-a-wilt in the sixties, thirty years ahead of its time.
This needed to be done.
The number of people who try to discount Wilt is WAY too high. Give him his flowers.
Bill too, for that matter.
Wilt is still a playoff choker and that great of a Final performer especially compared to West, Havlicek or Abdul Jabbar, this is to me the biggest critics you can have about him.
Bill actually played better in the playoffs and were stepping up in big moments and that's something people forget about him a lot
@@paquinraino8180 i dont think many ppl forget this, in fact i feel like lots of ppl see only that and almost ignore all his insane accomplishments. yes the playoffs is where it matters most and he certainly had the potential to win alot more, but he's still a 2 time champ plus no matter how much he won or lost i have no doubt he's the greatest athlete
I agree. The first pro game I ever saw was in the 60s and Wilt was playing. Wilt was the biggest person I'd ever seen and he was so dominant. Except for a couple examples, Wilt didn't play on teams that were stacked like the Celtics were and because basketball is a team sport, Wilt's greatness and lack of chips when compared to Bill Russell is under appreciated. There have been a number of dominant centers that have played in the NBA but none were more dominant than Wilt.
@@paquinraino8180 yeah like mj 0-6 choke vs Bird or vs Nick Anderson 1995 then he cry next season for more hof help . MJ start to win when there was no superteams beside his Bulls u cant even name 1 hof in Cavs Ehlo team, HIS RIVAL EVERY PLAYOFF WAS MUGSY BOGUES 5'2 HORNETS etc etc
@@RandomStuffFreak Wilt average 33 ppg 24 rp first 7 playoffs he went.
Off night as he only scored 58pts. Hahahah what a legend!
what a disappointment indeed.
You forgot Wilt's last regular season game of his career, which was in 1973 against the Warriors. He played all 48 minutes, scored only one point, had zero fouls, and defensively held Nate Thurmond to .400 shooting as the Lakers won. Wilt also had 18 rebounds and 9 assists. Has any player ever played an entire game scoring a single point, having no fouls and still leading his team to a win? Chamberlain was an anomaly in every metric and extremity.
I saw the documentary yesterday. Very informative. I never knew about his contributions to women's sports. And he set the standard for how athletes handled their business off of the playing field. Truly ahead of his time
Imagine being so good that people don't even take your stats seriously because they're so outlandish.
BINGO 🎯💯
Four straight games of 60 then 100 then 58. If anyone today even had the 58 they would show them on ESPN constantly. He did all this with no 3 point shots and playing amazing defense as well while averaging 48 minutes a game.
in my top 3
greatest individual talent. really played a part in evolving the game. his stats are so video game like and he comes from so long ago people just overlook him saying things like "oh the game was way different back then" he's one of the reasons the game changed. it's still incredibly impressive to be that consistent with your production at that high of a level. if he had won some more championships people would look at him bit differently.
People didn't so they don't believe anyone like that existed much like Jim thrope and babe Ruth
Today's people haven't seen a person like wilt so when they hear or read his all of the things that wilt Chamberlain did they just don't believe it
What a lot of shot blockers back then unlike t today@@Yungteasipppppa
The most telling thing about Wilt's legacy is how hard people have to work to make up lies and excuses for THEIR personal favorite G.O.A.T. candidates to stack up against him.
All of his accomplishments have to be discredited while all of their guy's accomplishments have to be inflated.
At some point you just have to accept that every now and then the human race throws up a superman, and that you're LUCKY if he chooses to play your sport.
If Wilt played in today's NBA we literally would not be talking about any other player in the league
💯‼️💯
Cap
@@cailloucaillou9217 what a profound response. I'd love to hear the logic behind such a an astonishingly wise and definitive statement as..."cap."
Maybe you can gift us with the wisdom behind "cap."
@@ignoblesavage5559 it means lies
The numbers don't lie, the stats even say it. Wilt is the best there was is or will ever be. Wilt chamberlain would dominate this era like Mike tyson boxing urkle.
Bowing in homage to the greatest man to step on the hardwood. Wilton Norman Chamberlain.
Seeing this after I just watched the Goliath doc about Wilt. Really good.
Yeah, I don't have the streaming service, so I missed the early access. Glad you enjoyed it! Can't wait to see it
As a stats nerd wilt is probably my favorite player ever. he’s like 2001-2004 Barry bonds in the sense that his numbers are so unfathomable that looking at his basketball reference page leaves you with your jaw on the floor (except it’s his entire career instead of 4 years), and there are about 300 different ways to dissect the insanity of his statistical dominance
I saw this earlier,😭but I didn't care to answer ngl...but now im bored and have nothing else better to do right now so...I guess you'll just have to get cooked🤷♂...
(this took 14 min and 43 seconds of research and about 4 min and 17 seconds of writing bro)
*1. " tell me your argument for wilt being the goat"*
Despite the fact that he played against the second most HOF player at his position(only behind kareem and parish, which he played 7 years less than both) He PLAYED THE MOST TOTAL GAMES against another hof center….see list below lol😃
(mind you these are their barefoot heights, in the modern NBA you would add 1-2 inches to their height, as players have been measured in their shoes only after 1977)
C-Bill Russell: 6’10” HOF (143 games played in 9 seasons)
C-Kareem Abdul Jabbar: 7'2" HOF(27 games played in 4 seasons)
C-Willis Reed: 6,10” HOF(72 games played in 8 seasons)
C-Walt Bellamy: 6'11" HOF(100 games played in 11 seasons)

(Dave Cowens is also a HOF Center/Forward but he is 6”9)(17 games played in 3 seasons)
(Connie Hawkins is also a HOF Forward/ center but he is 6”9)(31 games played in 4 seasons)
(please note there are more HOF PF who guarded and were guarded by wilt chamberlain but the majority of them are 6’8 to 6’9)
*SO THATS 574 OUT OF 1045…WHICH TRANSLATES TO 54% OF WILTS GAMES BEING PLAYED AGAINST ANOTHER HOF CENTER…*
😬
-Dominance as a black athlete even under a tremendous amount of racial scrutiny
😬
-Revolutionized the center position and the post skill set game
😬
-He has by far the most team and individual records in NBA history
😬
-was the captain and FMVP of 2 of the top 10 greatest teams of all time...the 1st being the 76ers team in 1967, where he led the team to at that time the most wins in NBA history (68 wins) while leading the league in assist, blocks, rebounds, and efficiency from 67-69…The next team, AS A 35 YEAR OLD(without modern medication and training that increases longevity) he shattered his previous record, setting the bar to 69 wins…with a winning streak of 33 wins in a row…a record that is still standing to this day
😬😬😬
- his athletic ability is unparalleled: His strength upstages the likes of Artis Gilmore and Shaquille O’neal…His speed rivals the likes of lebron james…He has the highest recorded max reach of any player of all time at 13ft3(second place is bill russell at 13ft)...wilt is #1 all time in career MPG, in which he led the league 9 times…
😬😬😬😬😬😬
Theres more but, you can do some research if you do not wish to be a casual
😂
2.*”his resume doesn't stack up to the players up there”*
13x All Star
7x Scoring Champ
11x TRB Champ
1967-68 AST Champ(until 2023 the only center to do it)
2x NBA Champ
10x All-NBA
1959-60 AS MVP
4x MVP
1959-60 ROY
2x All-Defensive
1971-72 Finals MVP
NBA 75th Anniv. Team
11x TRB Champ
7x Scoring Champ
11x TRB Champ
….You must be joking
(note: accolades like DPOY, FMVP, BLOCK TITLES, ALL STAR/NBA 3rd teams, etc…either never existed throughout wilts career or partially)
3. “his peak isn't as great”
F I F T Y POINTS PER GAME
….you must be joking
4. ”his longevity isnt even close”
Im not gonna even touch this one, its one of the most uneducated takes i've ever heard…far more longevity and endurance than mj…mj was trash his last 2 years in the league…lebron stats have become empty…kareem never averaged more than 8.7 rebounds after the age of 34…your point is mute😂
*5. “and his playoff performances fall WAY shy”*
NUH-UH ( i don't feel like explaining this)
*6.” his only argument even is his stats, and those are inflated because of the pace”*
*Every era has inflated stats*
Steph curry is playing in an era where teams are shooting 30 3 pointers a game…in the 90s the most a WHOLE TEAM would take was around 8 IF that…there fore steph cant be the greatest shooter because 3 pointers are inflated….
And ohhhh would you look at that the more longe shots you take, the longer the rebounds…which inflates perimeter or “guard” rebounds…
Also the pace of play is faster than the 90s so points are inflated
But if pace of play was slower in the 90s and 2000s…that means MPG and TOTAL games were inflated because, player could stay in the game longer due to the fact that they didn't have to run 20-30 more times up and down the court on offense and defense…
But if their minute per game is inflated than that means their total stats are inflated
Also blocks were inflated in the 90s because there was no 3 seconds in the paint so big men could camp so EATON and mutumbo cant be the greatest shot blockers of all time
Also ALL scoring and efficiency is inflated post 3 point line due to the spacing that the 3 point line provides so KD or LEBRON cant be the greatest scorers of all time…
Also assist have inflated since the mid 80s because assist were called more strictly pre 80s so magic or stockton cant be the greatest passer of all time…
And so on and so fourth
In conclusion…wilt is top 3 if not the GOAT…
Thank you : )

Bill russell Will forever be better then wilt
like mj?@@S1mplyBenxc
I'm surprised this video isn't a year long wilt chamberlain did stuff people can't achieve in a video game on rookie mode😂
Awesome! Would love to see a video like this for Bill Russell too
Everything Russell did well (rebounds and blocks), Chamberlain did better. Why would you want a video about the second best player (and a distant second) from that era? Russell was a great player, but no sane person would consider him to be arguably as good as Wilt. Russell is the beneficiary of the bias that some people have for championships, mostly people who want to prop up Jordan, and take down Wilt or Lebron. Swap Wilt and Russell, and Wilt probably wins 13-15 championships. The supporting cast Russell had during those years was that much better than every other team.
@@Trevdawg48 Russell joined a Celtic team that had 4 future HOF's to include the then current League MVP and Rookie of the Year. Before Russell, they never had won a championship. His first year they win the chip and the second year they got to the finals and Russell was injured, they lost without him. Next 8 years they win the championship with a healthy Russell. That following year he was named player/coach and they lost to Wilts Sixers. He came back the next two years and won the championship, after which he retired. That first year without Russell, Celtics didn't even make the playoffs. These are all facts. 3 years in College, two championships. 13 seasons in the NBA (12 healthy), 11 championships. Both scenarios his respective teams were nothing before him and nothing immediately after him. What an amazing coincidence. Show some respect for the greatest winner in all of sports history.
@@billsikes4007thank you. Some one who knows his basketball
@@Trevdawg4813-15??? That’ll never happen. Russell was a court general and saw the bigger picture. Wilt was only concerned with his own stats 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
@@billsikes4007
True. Thus, Chamberlain and Russell were the only athletes in NBA history to record over 8 blocks per game.
Just want to clarify, this isn't by any means 100 percent accurate. For example, a reporter might say "blocked at least a dozen of Chamberlain's shots" (as one reporter did once say) and it is marked down as 12.
For example, this is one of the sources: probably that Mr. Arnett will block the link.
On another note, Walt Bellamy denied the claim Chamberlain blocked his first 9 shots...
**
We should he aware that even even the Great Harvey Pollack, former long term director of statistical information for the Philadelphia 76ers stated we should take those blocks, steals and rebounds with a grain of salt.
People were working alone back then, unlike today where a half-dozen of people worked on one single game with replays.
**
Some people are also bringing Chamberlain blocking 26 shots against the Pistons... well, it's not even recorded on the stat sheet and people always brought those blocks. They should always verified their sources, yet since the NBA is pretty lenient on their metrics [see with Jordan and Chamberlain 48 inches vertical], we'll never have accurate measurements.
Wilt with present technology will be like a God
The most underrated giant.
Chamberlin is arguably the greatest Wilt of all time.
The idea of wilt having a reliable 3 pointer is crazy. Even if he could shoot it at like 34.5% that’s terrifying. I think he could’ve made a nice anchor with a score heavy guard/wing like Gervin or Maravich
Two things I don't think get mentioned a lot and are crazy. 1. Only center ever to lead the league in assists. 2. Never fouled out of a game in his entire career.
The passion oozing into this great video!!! Awesome Video!
Wilt Chamberlain there will never never be another this man is a Demigod ! Above all the goat !
The Record Book.
Wilt is exactly what his stats say he is.The greatest of all time.
Damn f..kin' right brotha. Wilt is the true goat. To say different is completely stupid
@@user-et4qw2nd7wWilt Chamberlain is the greatest. Jordan, LeBron, Kareem, bird and other NBA greats try to compete for 2nd place

For sure. 72 records he holds, which haven’t been broken for 50 years
OH MY JONNY YESS, I get to watch the Wilt documentary and you’re video. It’s about to be a Wiltastic Day
Love when you put videos together for longer videos like this, great work Jonny!
MY FAVORITE OL'🐐👑WILT CHAMBERLAIN#13 GAME IS THE QUINTUPLE-DOUBLE(53 PTS/32 REBS/14 ASSTS/24 BKLS/11 STLS) .. HE'S THE MOST ATHLETIC .. AND DOMINANT PLAYER IN NBA 🏀 HISTORY .. THERE'S NONE BETTER ..
That quintuple double made by wilt chamberlain back then in the late 60's 53pts., 32rebs,14assists, 24blks,11 stls. That's the most f..kin ' impressive stat in nba history ever. Who is the true goat. Wilt chamberlain 100%, without a doubt.
All the headaches that Wilt inflicted to the opposing coaches and putting their defensive schemes to ash.
The ULTIMATE Harvey Pullock video
There is another record that Wilt Chamberlain holds. He never fouled out of a game in the NBA.
No 3 point line in his career!
AMAZING 💯‼️💯
He could be a scorer like Durant, Kobe, or Mike but also a defender like Russell or Rodman. Basically, all you need from Wilt, he will deliver ! Also, he was asists player like Magic! Amazing athlete, Wilt Chamberlain!
Wilt really was the greatest versatile big man. He really sucked at free throws, and I saw how he tried everything to try and get better. 42:00 Wilt really felt some type of way about MJ, but he felt nobody was better them him, like most greats. A young Kareem came in and humbled him, that coupled with injuries. He hated Kareem got the scoring record, said he could have scored more, if he didn't buy in to and realize that being a team player would get him a title. I remember seeing him being traded to the Lakers and they were called "a superteam" with him, west and elgin. Considered the first superteam. Wilt is definitely top 5.
Actually Secret Base made a videos about Kareem and Wilt beef and that's actually Wilt is at fault for this one. And no, Wit is not top 5 more like top 10-12 but not top 5
@@paquinraino8180no, he was better than Kareem, curry, kobe, duncan, etc
Wilt played Kareem after he blew up his knee. He wasn't the same after that.....being out for so long he gained a lot of weight and couldn't jump near as high as in the earlier years. It's unfortunate he didn't come back in 79 season because he said in the 80's after doing so much training for volleyball and other athletic hobbies, he was in far better shape than when he retired from NBA....and you could see it too. He was visibly not in peak condition those years he played Kareem.....didn't run as much, didn't jump as much nor as high....still the only person to block Kareem's hook though. It would have been awesome had he came back in even better shape.
@@paquinraino8180 " Wit is not top 5" yes, he is. He even has a case for GOAT.

It is a great shame that there is no longer any footage of Wilt Chamberlain's 100-point game in the 1961-1962 season.
There was never footage
@@atti_odyssey somebody has the footage. They used to say it not enough footage now we getting more footage by the day. I don't think it any footage for Wilt 100 point game. Someone has footage or recorded the feat. I think they just want keep a narrative
@@michaelallen8112 what are you trying to say
@@atti_odyssey we being lied to. I believe it footage
@@michaelallen8112 there was never any footage, otherwise the owner of such a footage would have made a lot of money. It's been more than sixty years, plenty of time for an obscure footage to show up. The only thing left from that game: the account of the fans/players present in that game, the score sheet and the iconic picture. But beware of the fans, a lot of fans claim that they have seen the game, but the arena only held about 5-6,000 seats.
Honestly, Can this be a series?
Like the Ultimate video for ______ player.
If people are into it, absolutely. Already thinking about the next one
@@jonnyarnettI love coverage of historic players....West, Cousy, Baylor, Russel, Pistol Pete is cool....I'd love good historic documentaries on guys that shows that players in the 60's weren't garbage like kids today think they were.
Terrific video. Best compilation I've seen so far.
Yeah JA this could’ve been 20,000 hours long!! 😂😂😂
His #1 "unofficial stat"!!
This man scoree 50 points and 25 rebounds for an entire season...plus sooo many other records
Best video yet by far I’m sure Johnny knows why lol
This was incredible. One thing I do not understand for the life of me is how people still think Russell outshined wilt in any way when he has not impacted winning overall as much as Wilt has, always outnumbered wilts team in hof help with the biggest ratio of hof comp of any goat candidate resulting in contributing less to wins and teams less than wilt, and consistently got beat in head to head matchups against wilt with an increase in rebounds against wilt that was less than wilts increase in rebounds against him and an actual drop in ppg and fg% where wilt mostly went up on ppg and fg% against Russell especially in the postseason and even in the finals Same with rebounding. If wilt has all these incredible things under his belt in an era with the most obstacles ever and strictest rules that force you to be the most skilled and fundamentally sound overall peaking from 67-73, and impacts winning when the hof odds are in his favor, even, or not in his favor in the postseason more than anyone who’s ever shot FT better than him or had more modern moves than him, then what reason do we have to not call him the undisputed goat?
I mean who else you know could never foul out, avg all those minutes and keep up with a faster greater ball movement pace, and dominate on defense offense and the boards all at a goat level and instead of rest during the off season, dominate in Rucker park pro summer league tournaments and even begin volleyball while he’s out of his prime in the early 70s while dominating the beginning of that era post surgery as well??
None outshine this monster
1) many HOF players in the 60s Celtics became Hof because they were part of that legendary team, not because they were necessarily that good
2) despite his lack of offensive game, Russell almost single handedly made the Celtics one of the all time great defenses, which was coincidentally the reason they won so much (they were almost always a bottom tier offense)
3) Chamberlain had a major drop off in the playoff and sometimes his massive scoring volume did not necessarily benefit the team (the team played better if he passed a little bit more)
@@enricodolci75601) When Russell went to the Celtics they already had the best backcourt in the NBA. Sharman was at that time the best shooting guard, Cousy was the best point guard. The Celtics finished 2nd in the East the season before they drafted Russell. The Celtics then got Heinsohn and Russell in the same draft class. (Heinsohn ended up being the rookie of the year.) The Celtics secret was that Auerbach broke the NBA “quota” on black players per team. While everyone else had 2 or 3 players per team, the Celtics got to the point they had the first black starting 5. He drafted Sam Jones out of an HBCU, who became one of the great shooters in NBA history to come off of the bench. (He later took over as a starter when Sharman retired.) Signed KC Jones, an All-American at USF as a backup point guard. Obtained Willie Naulls a former NBA All-Star in a trade with the Knicks. That was just some of the Black players. He obtained Havlicek in the draft. The Celtics were loaded.
2)No one player makes a team great defensively. A great team defense starts with a defensive coaching strategy. Auerbach developed a defensive strategy and drafted and traded for great defensive players. KC Jones, Satch Sanders, Willie Naulls, John Havlicek were all great defenders before going to the Celtics. Russell was a great defender however he did not singlehandedly make the Cetics a great defensive team.
3) Wilt was double and triple teamed yet still led his team in fg pct by a wide margin. In the playoffs with his teammates shooting 35 or 36%from the floor who do you think the other team focused on double and triple teaming even off the ball? Wilt! Wilt passed more when he had teammates who could shoot.
Thank u for the upload yay
Wilt Chamberlain wasn't Goliath, he was Samson.
Up untill he died in 99 the only 2 ppl i heard in the GOAT convo was wilt and MJ after he died everyone wanna through their hat in the arena for it and between him and MJ got him on team success but on an individual domiance wilt is right there
'individual dominance wilt' is in a league of his own. Jordan couldn't hold his jock strap.
That MJ fade is so smooth, come on, he fake that guy into other dimension
You Jordan fanboy assholes always try to interject Jordan in where he doesn't belong. This video is about Wilt -- who was a far superior athlete and player than Jordan could ever hope to be.
okay you knocked it out of the park with this one
Before Hack-a-Shaq was invented, there was Hack-a-Wilt in his 100 point game.
When I was 15 in 1973, there was a picture in the sports section of a Dominican newspaper. If I remember correctly, it was Wilt blocking a lay up by the great Spencer Haywood of the Knicks. Wilt blocked the shot from behind Haywood by pinning the ball against the board. The most impressive part of the play: there was a Laker player between Wilt and Spencer trying to block the shot too, but this player bit on the fake, missed the block and got caught flat footed between the two greats.
Great video - thanks for making it!
This is a fire ass wilt vid my man!!! Does some justice to his story which is much under told!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I have never skipped your intro video, and i never will. the song is too nice, with the video as well
Every video from this man is a win
Wilt Chamberlain's stats are more important and impressive than any other player in NBA history. 💯
I was not even half way through this... okay hes the best!
MR 💯💯💯
My boy Jonny grindin this! 💯
Wilt's legend is such that had he not existed we would have to make him up.
Hi wil5 is underrated
Finally another person who admires, appreciates and acknowledges Wilts monstrous game the way I do. This complication actually solidifies even more so in my head how dominate he is. Top 3 player of all time without question. Fuggetaboutit
People like to use his height against him saying he played with no competition, but if you’re that much better than everyone you play with, how is that necessarily a bad thing? MJ would make a grown man cry 1v1, why can’t wilt do the same without being discredited?
When you realize Wilt averaged a triple double for his entire career with points, rebounds and blocks.
Thank you for this
Make hypothetical 1 on 1 games this will be fun
Wilt The Stilt Chambrelain
Wake up babe new hour long Jonny Arnett vid dropped
My GOAT
Ultimate basketball channel! 🙌
Thank you so much for this video on Wilt. This man still doesn't get the respect he so rightly deserve. Wilt was the most dominant basketball player that ever lived. No one comes close. Jordan is the greatest but Wilt did things that will never been done again. Shaq wasn't even close to being as dominant as Wilt
I’m looking forward to this doc too. I think it’s already out on streaming
The more I learn about Wilt the more I am convinced that he was the best basketball player to have ever lived and no one comes close. What really surprises me is that this is argued and many do not have him at the top or even near it. This proves to me people are really dumb and biased this seems to overrule facts and logic. If he had played 20 years and not changed his game to focusing mainly on defence he would have had over 50,000 career points or more and no one would have ever come close to breaking it and he accomplished this without a 3-point shot amazing. The fact that this is even debated makes me scratch my head as the more I learn the easier it is to see that this man was a freak of nature with the stamina of a god rest in peace Wilt. To all the people with an IQ over room temp who know Mr. Wilt Norman Chamberlain was the best and the goat and no one else comes close thank you for helping those with bias against him face the facts and stats that prove this point without a doubt. I wish I was alive then to see this amazing human being and class act. If you could pluck a 25-year-old Wilt from the 60s to a modern game today he would destroy them and I would lmao. The NBA needs to declare him the goat and all young fans should be sent to a class about Wilt and show them who is the true Goat of basketball. Another issue is about Kareem who tries to make people think he was better. When Kareem faced Wilt he was 11 years older and coming off a serious knee injury. He only faced a non-injured Wilt once! Kareem knows Wilt was the better player he said Wilt only blocked him twice when he was a rookie this fact can be disproven easily. I have seen the old films and Wilt blocked him dozens of times or more and the fact that Wilt was not the main scorer on his team and Kareem was and he scored more when they played against each other on many occasions proves nothing. That was not Wilt's job to score it was his job to stop the other team from scoring which he did very well he also on occasion scored more than Kareem, especially before his ACL injury which was serious enough to end most athletes' careers but not Wilt he was superhuman a prime Wilt would have destroyed Kareem every time and Kareem knows this. Kareem hated Wilt because Wilt was not racist towards white people Wilt judged people by their character, not skin color. Wilt was charismatic and was successful with the ladies Kareem was not so another thing Kareem was jealous of. Wilt tried to help Kareem and he got shit on for his efforts. Kareem was also a dirty player hitting people when they were down and he was bitter and anti social Wilt on the other hand was articulate and respectful towards others that story Kareem says about Wilt spitting on a guy in the elevator is I guarantee you what Kareem did not Wilt. At age 50 Wilt shut down Magic Johnson and his teammates at a pickup game and Magic stated in an interview that there will never be another Wilt Chamberlain all the legends know he was the best player they had ever seen and if Bill Russell thinks so I have to agree. Kareem facing a Wilt a 25-year-old with Kareem being the same age would be not very fun for Kareem Wilt would have humiliated Kareem! In Game 5 of the 72 playoffs, he pissed Wilt off so much that Wilt spanked him so badly that the fans of the Bucks the team Kareem played for gave the opposition Lakers center Wilt Chamberlain a standing ovation so that will give you an idea of how he dominated and schooled the young Kareem. When your fans give the opposition center a standing ovation that really says something that's how strong and dominating Wilt was and an angry Wilt was unstoppable!!
Delusional the competition back then is not the same as it was now wilt only scored a lot because he was bigger than the entire league put him in todays league he would be decent, but he is no goat lmao he only has 2 rings in a low comp era he not even top 10
@@cailloucaillou9217 Wrong
Absolutely wrong. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… Wilt played against at least 6 HOF centers, all of whom were at least 6’10” and played like true centers the exception being a 6’9” Bill Russell. In the early 60s there were only 9 teams in the NBA so Wilt played against GREAT centers at least every other night. I am 74 years old and saw Wilt play in person. Just because he played 50 years ago does not mean he wasn’t a great player. Statistically he is the GOAT without question.
Wow, a Jonny Arnett and Thinking Basketball Wilt mega vid on the same day!
Lol, Cavs really shot themselves in the foot.
Once again like I said long time ago in a previous episode about who deserve on the mount rushmore of basketball legends, Wilt the Stilt/Big Dipper/Goliath Chamberlain rightfully is considered definition of the Mount rushmore imo, great segment on the all time legend Johnny A!😎👍🏾
great video, i think you should turn the one about who holds a record if wilt never existed into a series, it was really interesting
Wiped from history my ass,
As long as the records are still in the book, and as long as fans who appreciate Wilt Chamberlain, his records and legacy will never die
haha like 2 days ago I thought to go back and watch your Wilt videos
He is my favorite NBA character. And with all those accomplishments and records, i still feel that he is a bit underrated. Great vid btw.
Lack of stats and accolades tracked kept his resume from being as overwhelming as it really was. He'd hold over 100 record and likely have won literally every award not related to 3pt shooting or free throws.
@@andrewcook1246 yet people still under-rate him.
@@solrac4270 the story doesnt seem real. Best athlete to ever walk the Earth
Harvey Pollack is the O.G, and i wouldn't even know about him if it wasn't for your channel. I trust harveys stats about as much as the stats tracked today, give or take a rebound here and there
1 HOUR JOHNNY VIDEO LIFE IS GOOD
I watched Goliath. It was really freaking good, made me cry twice. Now I'm gonna watch this video and it's gonna be awesome too. Thank you👍👍👍
oh my god this video was made for me
Wilt was so great as I'm watching the video at one point I saw numbers on the screen and thought it was it stats turns out it was the date. Rest in peace to a legend
I feel like wilt moves up 1 spot every year the more I learn about him 😂
Just get it over with and put him in your top spot or 2nd spot with Jordan. 😂
I saw this earlier,😭but I didn't care to answer ngl...but now im bored and have nothing else better to do right now so...I guess you'll just have to get cooked🤷♂...
(this took 14 min and 43 seconds of research and about 4 min and 17 seconds of writing bro)
*1. " tell me your argument for wilt being the goat"*
Despite the fact that he played against the second most HOF player at his position(only behind kareem and parish, which he played 7 years less than both) He PLAYED THE MOST TOTAL GAMES against another hof center….see list below lol😃
(mind you these are their barefoot heights, in the modern NBA you would add 1-2 inches to their height, as players have been measured in their shoes only after 1977)
C-Bill Russell: 6’10” HOF (143 games played in 9 seasons)
C-Kareem Abdul Jabbar: 7'2" HOF(27 games played in 4 seasons)
C-Willis Reed: 6,10” HOF(72 games played in 8 seasons)
C-Walt Bellamy: 6'11" HOF(100 games played in 11 seasons)
C-Artis Gilmore: 7'2" HOF
C-Bob Lanier: 6'11" HOF(17 games played in 3 seasons)
C-Nate Thurmond: 6'11" HOF(47 games played in 4 seasons)
C-Bob McAdoo: 6’10” HOF (5 games played in 1 season)
C-Elvin Hayes:6’9 “ HOF (22 games played in 4 seasons)
(Wes Unseld is also a HOF center but he is 6’9) (26 times in 5 seasons)
(Dave Cowens is also a HOF Center/Forward but he is 6”9)(17 games played in 3 seasons)
(Connie Hawkins is also a HOF Forward/ center but he is 6”9)(31 games played in 4 seasons)
(please note there are more HOF PF who guarded and were guarded by wilt chamberlain but the majority of them are 6’8 to 6’9)
*SO THATS 574 OUT OF 1045…WHICH TRANSLATES TO 54% OF WILTS GAMES BEING PLAYED AGAINST ANOTHER HOF CENTER…*
😬
-Dominance as a black athlete even under a tremendous amount of racial scrutiny
😬
-Revolutionized the center position and the post skill set game
😬
-He has by far the most team and individual records in NBA history
😬
-was the captain and FMVP of 2 of the top 10 greatest teams of all time...the 1st being the 76ers team in 1967, where he led the team to at that time the most wins in NBA history (68 wins) while leading the league in assist, blocks, rebounds, and efficiency from 67-69…The next team, AS A 35 YEAR OLD(without modern medication and training that increases longevity) he shattered his previous record, setting the bar to 69 wins…with a winning streak of 33 wins in a row…a record that is still standing to this day
😬😬😬
- his athletic ability is unparalleled: His strength upstages the likes of Artis Gilmore and Shaquille O’neal…His speed rivals the likes of lebron james…He has the highest recorded max reach of any player of all time at 13ft3(second place is bill russell at 13ft)...wilt is #1 all time in career MPG, in which he led the league 9 times…

F I F T Y POINTS PER GAME
….you must be joking
4. ”his longevity isnt even close”
Im not gonna even touch this one, its one of the most uneducated takes i've ever heard…far more longevity and endurance than mj…mj was trash his last 2 years in the league…lebron stats have become empty…kareem never averaged more than 8.7 rebounds after the age of 34…your point is mute😂
*5. “and his playoff performances fall WAY shy”*
NUH-UH ( i don't feel like explaining this)
*6.” his only argument even is his stats, and those are inflated because of the pace”*
*Every era has inflated stats*
Steph curry is playing in an era where teams are shooting 30 3 pointers a game…in the 90s the most a WHOLE TEAM would take was around 8 IF that…there fore steph cant be the greatest shooter because 3 pointers are inflated….
And ohhhh would you look at that the more longe shots you take, the longer the rebounds…which inflates perimeter or “guard” rebounds…
Also the pace of play is faster than the 90s so points are inflated
But if pace of play was slower in the 90s and 2000s…that means MPG and TOTAL games were inflated because, player could stay in the game longer due to the fact that they didn't have to run 20-30 more times up and down the court on offense and defense…
But if their minute per game is inflated than that means their total stats are inflated
Also blocks were inflated in the 90s because there was no 3 seconds in the paint so big men could camp so EATON and mutumbo cant be the greatest shot blockers of all time
Also ALL scoring and efficiency is inflated post 3 point line due to the spacing that the 3 point line provides so KD or LEBRON cant be the greatest scorers of all time…
Also assist have inflated since the mid 80s because assist were called more strictly pre 80s so magic or stockton cant be the greatest passer of all time…
And so on and so fourth
In conclusion…wilt is top 3 if not the GOAT…
Thank you : )

The Legendary Wilt Chamberlain
The GOAT
We need this for every nba players pls
@,25 is Nate Thurmond. He is absolutely one of the top 5 greatest defensive players in NBA history.
@1:54 is Walt Bellamy who stood 6'11" and at least 245lbs, was a tremendous player.
hes # 2 or 3 for me...
Wilt is number 1 and it's so easy to see there must be something in the water today that makes people see facts and ignore them. Until someone has more than 100 points in a game and averages more than 50.4 points and 25 rebounds a game then I will put him at number 2 two until then he is number 1.@@JohnnyRodgers3
Did you watch this video and do you understand numbers lol? The facts put Wilt number 1 and no one else even comes close so what am I missing lmao.
@@erics9754 Dude, I've been a Laker fan since November 1968 because of Elgin Baylor and Jerry West. I've seen them all dude.
Wilt will always be my favorite player the more I learn the more in Aw
All his performances are underrated
Goat
Wilt’s bank shot fade away is underrated and only 1 channel I heard talked about his bank shot fade away
You know, Wilt was such a beast and is the true GOAT but this stuff just gets mythical. I saw Wilt play and I have constantly been in his corner when people throw around the GOAT label. You see, to me, these records just seem to far out there. They are just unbelievable, yet they are real. How can a player own over 70 NBA records and not be labeled the GOAT? Most of the press needs a refresher course. This stuff is just comical to many. It just doesn't seem real.
Apart from all the records, what is most amazing to me as the powers at be, tried to stop or at least slow Wilt down by changing the rules of the game. Not just once, but at least 3 times that I know of. What more can you say about a players dominance that the league changed the actual rules of the game in order to stop Wilt.
Kudos to you for producing this. This needs to be shown to all the writers and talking heads, especially at ESPN. It is really just silly to not admit that Wilt is the GOAT. It really is not even that close either.
If we talk about each basketball roles
Wilt is my pick for center position
obviously it is difficult to have a best quintet ever,
as the rules change year after year and the sport has changed drastically over the decades,
but if I had to choose the best players based on the position they played in during their careers,
and not how they could play in contemporary basketball or in a different era than theirs
I would say that my ideal quintet would be
PG : Magic Johnson
SG : Michael Jordan
SF : LeBron James
PF : Tim Duncan
C : Wilt Chamberlain
If Wilt Chamberlain and Bill Russell had had their blocks tracked in their era, I'd like to think the blocks list would look similar to the rebounds list, completely dominated by those two
Great job!! Fantastic as usual! The fact that most of todays younger NBA fans insult Wilt by saying Shaq is better is utterly ridiculous! If Wilt did not hold back because of his fear of hurting other players he would be UNTOUCHABLE in the G.O.A.T. conversation. As it is, prove to me there was another player better than Wilt. If you say Bill Russell, well, Bill could never score like Wilt. Also, if Wilt was on that Celtics team instead of Bill, They would've won just as many, if not more, titles.
BABE GET OVER HERE NEW WILT JUST DROPPED

After 20 minutes i was like, damn how long is that video. I was pretty suprised by the face that there is an 1 hour video of Unbelievable facts about him xD
Wilt has always been number one in my book. If you see the video of Wilt standing with Shaq and Patrick Ewing, you can see that, despite being much older, his shoulders were much broader and he looked to be in better shape than either player. I remember watching his games on television and I was always impressed by the number of blocked shots. One nationally televised game in Phoenix, the announcers mentioned that, unofficially, he had twenty blocks. He is the real GOAT.
He made them look small something only goliath could do lol.
The goat......
There’s something almost mythical about wilt. when you first get into the history of the nba and dive into the records/stats ect. You see this one player that just fills up most of the record sheet, with insane performances like the 100 point game, quintuple double. The most insane feats in the history of the nba regardless of era and they were never filmed.
And then you hear about about the crazy athletic stories. He seems almost akin to like a mythical legendary figure like Hercules or something, but for basketball. a basketball god.
