How would prime Wilt Chamberlain fare against prime Kareem Abdul-Jabbar?
Ten Times better…
Wilt had 2 injured wrist vs Bucks 1971 but in '72 Wilt had 35 age , and both knee injured. Fun fact 1of best season in hustory 1972 had Jabbar prime 24 age...and Wilt took his ring. Btw Jerry West is little older than Oscar. Baylor did not play. There is no xcuse cause Bob Dandrige was incredible for Bucks and old Wilt had role player Pat Riley. The only xcuse is Jabbar average more ppg 1972 but RPB, SPG, BPG and even APG likewise triple double goes to Wilt. Fun fact 2, Wilt blocked 4x skyhook that year and his age and knee vs prime Alcindor proved that if Jabbar ever faced 1962 prime best Wilt he would not stood chance if he couldnt score on him. I think in game 3 Wilt broke defensive record vs Kareem he keep him under 30% fg whenever he was direct defender. 35 old guy vs best MVP prime Jabbar.
@@CapitanHarlockisback if he managed to took his ring at age 35, and both knee injured 11 years older vs the best version of Kareem who waa mvp best scorer in nba those years, u know what 1962 Wilt would do to him. Remember jabbar only had more ppg Wilt had 4 stats better than him. Fun fact ppl say Wilt has supwe team. Not true causeJerry was never better than oscar and both were same age. Baylor never played that year and Dandridge was better than Gail Goodrich. Bucks gad prime Alcindor Oscar and Dandridge, while only help Wilt had in his old 35 years, is Goodridge who wasnt even first ballot or 50 member. Jerry and Oscar cancel each although Robertson is by mile more complete than jerry ever was.
Both prime it’s not that close. Wilt was bigger stronger faster and had at least as good a variety of moves
Well what do you consider a prime
I always say the same thing, Wilt blocked more Skyhooks in 4 seasons than the rest of the NBA players in the next 16 years
Almost every one was goaltending. Skyhook is almost impossible to block from a guy as tall as Kareem.
No center, including Kareem, averaged 30 points and at least 20 rebounds per game for a season, except Wilt. Wilt averaged over 30 and 20 for his CAREER.
Wilt also played 45+ minutes, at a faster pace with worse shooters.
True, but not in the playoffs!
@@TheIcemanthomas
Correction, he played in a faster pace far harder to keep up with athletically and skill through fatigue than massively slower dribble heavy easier rule paced eras with worse shoes on and worse sturdy rims to shoot on among defenses that allowed both 2 hand checking and zone defenses his entire career
@@Falstaff1972
Fax cuz in the playoffs he averaged even more rebounds while less points yet still over 22ppg and even more defense and leading his position in assists as usual with no other player ever comin anywhere near his playoff avgs of 23, 25, 12, 4 even with decreased scoring
Goated
@@beenizz5102 Mmmh... Amazing player, one of a kind, but he missed at least three crucial games in the playoffs...
I understand Wilt’s argument about the rule changes now lol
Wilt’s the goat
Opinions shouldn’t vary!
Wilt is the Paul Bunyan of basketball. The things that he accomplished seem like tall tails.
The further we get from his time, the less we remember that the things he did were real. 100pts in a game. Widening the lane, changes to how free throws could be attempted, how balls could be in-bounded.. offensive goal tending was created because of Wilt.. It was and still is mind blowing.
Paul Bunyan never had 5 rules changed to stop him!
Paul Bunyan was mythical!
Paul Bunyan had a ox named babe!
this footage is fantastic quality you are doing a service
🙏🙏🙏

Wilt Chamberlain is the G.O.A.T. Wilt would have absolutely destroyed Shaq.
Naaaah. U can’t be the greatest in a team sport based on individual prowess
We all know it now!
Wilt would have a broken hand trying to block one of Shaq’s dunks.
Nope:
1. Wilt played with broken hands
2. Shaq couldn’t dunk; flopping around like the beached whale wilt would have ran him into!
3. Wilt would have manhandled Shaq like the sunshine superman he was!
@@morrisparrish76 I couldn't I agree more with you. Wilt would would have rag dolled Shaq.
Thank you Foobas Sports.
Never enough Wilt !
🙏🙏🙏
As always, great video. I'm glad you used some new clips from my new material 😊
Much appreciated 🙏🙏🙏
That is old, bad knee Wilt. OMG can you imagine that guy at 25?
Brilliant Observation...
There is no shooting guard in NBA history that I would pick over either of these 2 in their prime.
Yea it really wouldn't make any sense 😂 maybe Oscar or MJ over Kareem maybe even Jerry west...but wilt was just to dominant on both ends of the court and could practically do anything
if kareem struggled then obviously jordan wouldnt get bum raped then run to the nba commissioner to change the rules hahahahahahaha
Wilt is THE GOAT
We should all know it now!
@@morrisparrish76 I agree. but todays youth think otherwise. But they don't know what they Don't know
It ain’t just the youth that don’t know what they don’t know!
I was just a small kid but those were great battles
That was awesome! And as a side note. The “plumbers” as todays crowd likes to think of them, dropping tear drop finger rolls by Goodrich. West streaking up court throwing a dime bounce pass for an assist. West 17 foot bank shot on the fast break assist Goodrich. This was real basketball…where you couldn’t carry, walk, drag your pivot foot, camp in the key for more than 3 seconds, Al the whole playing in shoes that kids where today only got the retro look…nobody would play in a serious game with them. That was state of the art then. In that clip, do you seriously think any of these guys today could stop Wilt? Does anyone think these other guys if the could have walked, palmed the ball, traveled, hang out in the key forever and so on…and had today’s equipment and training facilities, you think they could play with these guys. It’s silly.
brother if jordan never left the league twice he wouldve broken all wilts records jordan was a better blocker and rebounder he only focused on scoring because the team needed the points he wouldve averaged 20/20/20 his entire career he was physically more dominate and faster than wilt chamberlain also the rules of jordans era stopped him from truly becoming as dominate as wilt was jordan had a handicap his entire career only jordan could have stopped the celtics dynasty of the 60s no human being will ever have the power the strength skills and mentality jordan had when he passes im assuming they will name him as one of the wonders of the world he was next dimensional... wilt and kareem versus jordan 2 on 1 i'd put my money on jordan every time
@@thebuilder2018 better rebounder and shot blocker?
This alone complete invalidates your opinion because you have to be high to believe that. Jordan ever lead the NBA in blocked shots assists or rebounding. Chamberlain has Jordan never did. As for scoring 3 of the top 4 scoring years in NBA history belongs to Wilt. Wilts worst rebounding year is three times Jordan's best. 8.8 blocks per game to 1fir Jordan and Chamberlain has led the NBA twice in assists Jordan hasn't done it once oh I left off his scoring games 4 of 6 of the top 6 scoring games ever kobe has one Jordan has none
Excellent Points...😇
@@deannichols8054 you dont know anything you donkey how could jordan lead the league in rebounding when he was doing everything on the court? if you expect him to lead the league in rebounds and blocks then he he should have lead the league in every statistic plus all the rebounders and blockers in his era were only focused on certain tasks and all of the players that league the league in blocks and rebounds the years jordan played were better than wilt too and jordan was till able to lead the league in scoring against them all if jordan just focused on rebounding or blocking he would average easy 45 blocks and rebounds a game bro open your eyes olujawon was the closest thing to chamberlain in the nba and he was far better skill wise , faster and stronger than chamberlain and jordan owned him too
@@deannichols8054 jordan has higher playoff average PPG and the highest points scored in playoff history mr donks so what you on about scoring hahahahahaha and chamberlain only lead the league in assists because again I ALREADY TOLD YOU THIS MR DONKS jordan didnt just focus on 1 THING he did EVERYTHING jordan couldve pulled off more assists than john stockton if his role was just to provide assists his passes were some of the longest, deepest and fastest passes of all time why do you think he went to baseball mr donks? he could throw with almost non human velocity donkey
It is unfortunate that more video of Wilt’s prime years is not readily available. The man was so ridiculously strong and talented. The poor quality black and white film that is out there does not paint the true picture of just how dominate he was.
Being available & showing are 2 different things!
His last season was the first year I remember watching. I was only 6, so I don't recall details, but I remember Walt Frazier and Wilt. The only thing I recall is that Wilt looked like a giant. You just had to see him in action to appreciate it.
Wilt was 7'1" with a 55" vertical jump
The hyperbole is strong here. The man had a 44 inch vert at best
it was recorded at a professional athletics as 48' actually monkey
Love Wilt but I'm an Abdul-Jabbar guy and that won't change.
for me its both,never again will we see two GIANTS battle! full hd film of all there games would be so damn sweet
That’s your problem!
This is some legendary shit...
Nice highlights. Who was better? Not here to debate that. Wilt was more experienced here, but Kareem was in better physical shape (Wilt was like 35 with injuries). Seeing a prime Wilt against a prime Kareem would’ve been nice.
Look up Rick Barry's quote about who is the best center that he ever saw. And played against. A hint: it ain't Kareem. 😅
Wilt eleven years old with bad knees .The one and only GOAT
Wilt Chamberlin was the Michael Jordan of all Wilt Chamberlins
how when michael jordan is like a piece of bubble gum on the bottom of wilts boot?
Simply amazing work! Vids keep gettng better!
The quality on some of these clips...bravo honestly!
Id say the 2 greatest Cs ever! Well done 🎉
Much appreciated! Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
love these 4k wilt vids
Great video again as expected. Thank you🙏🙏🙏
Thank you 🙏🙏
GREAT VIDEO SIR!
Much appreciated 🙏🙏
@FoobasSports NO PROBLEM SIR KEEP THESE FREAKING VIDEO COMING!!!!! LETS DESTROY THESE NEW SCHOOL HATERS....BIGGER FASTER STRONGER....MY A**!!!!
Bill Hosket liked to vacation around my home town, and developed a relationship with the community. He was a frequent speaker at the high school sports banquets, and always had a good Wilt story. He said when guarding Wilt you couldn't see the other players and often didn't know if he had the ball. That's how massive he was. So Wilt has his back to Bill and Wilt had the ball. "How did I know he had the ball? He held it up and showed it to me."
Wilt is the GOAT period! The NBA record book proves it!
I think I’ve said that before “take away jabbars skyhook & he really ain’t got that much”!
No you didn't trolll
WNC made Jabbar look like a “Plummer”!
Hey foobas, im not sure if this is the best way to reach out to you, but i was wondering if I could use some of the clips you have for a video im working on for wilt chamberlain. I will link and thank you!
No problem 👍
Remember this: Jabbar & Russell both called wilt the greatest……i see no reason to disagree with them!
That beginning quote applies to the majority of players now a days
Excellent Observation...
Thank you.
Man those rims had no give. Zero shooters’ bounce
If the NBA had always kept records on blocked shots, Wilt would be #1, Russell #2, and #3 would have fewer than half of if Wilt's number of blocks.
Is it interesting that the NBA decided to to keep block shots only after Wilt had retired...I guess they did not want to add another stat to his already untouchable records!!!
Buen video :v
Thank you 🙏
Greak Freak on the eras.. I dont think we will see another Wilt.. Back in the day, Center position is really crazy.. Post game looks like hell.. If u are center, get ready to war.. one on one againt enemies center..
Wilt being modest in that last comment!!! Wilt one of the best, the best in some people’s eyes!!!
Kareem won't admit it but he only shot around 40 pct vs old wilt in their last 8 gms vs each other including playoffs ....48 pct for career when his lifetime fg pct was 56 .wilt also outrebounded him or they were really close..prime Moses trashed old kareem on boards
Whoever posted this was more partial to Chamberlain, but Kareem scored some of his 38,000 plus points against Chamberlain I may add!💯
He sure did.. This video is Wilt's best highlights against Kareem.
That sky hook made Kareem's career. Being a one trick pony is fine if it's the best trick in the book.
You need to understand that Wilt is on the downside of his athletic prowess. He and Kareem ONLY had a *19-game encounter, so he couldn't have scored that much of his career points against him. If Kareem faces peek Wilt .. NO CONTEST !! .. Wilt was faster and had a higher vertical than Alcindor/Abdul-Jabbar. Kareem was a finesse type of player .. Wilt was finesse & power. The only player in NBA history that at times is discussed like he is a myth. That should tell you something.
None aganist a prime wilt!
Yeah...Kareem did score some of his 38k points against Wilt...but only broke Wilts scoring title after hanging around for 20+ years...Wilt established his record in 14 years...What was Kareem scoring feat at that time?
I just got done watching the Kentucky derby & realize there is someone faster with more stamina can jump higher can jump longer & is stronger than WNC……..a fucking horse!
Try harder gramps
Only haters hypemiesters & Jordan lovers could say WNC wasn’t the greatest!
Jabbar looked like a fart in a whirlwind…….turned every which way but loose!
Bucks vs lakers
Kareem should be ashamed of himself; getting his ass handed to him like this by an older past his prime WNC!
Try harder gramps
Wilt’s numbers speak for themselves……Jabbar and Shaq numbers don’t speak nearly as loud!
@@morrisparrish76 yawn gramps
When it comes to WNC: it would appear you are the (yawn) one asleep!
@@morrisparrish76 keep trying gramps
Lebron + Wemby
Chamberlain in his prime would have destroyed Jabbar. Wilt had true athleticism to his game. Jabbar was a one trick pony. Take away that dumbass sky hook and there’s nothing else.
Don’t make yourself look dumb saying dumbass shit like that. Kareem was FAR more than just the skyhook. That was just his go to. Don’t do a disservice to the game by disrespecting his overall offensive capabilities which are far more effective than anything wilt was able to do.
Wilt stayed on the court 46mpg……Jabbar at best was around 36mpg!
A pictures worth a thousand words……..especially when those words ain’t the right ones!
You’re definitely on some mind altering medication to make such a blatantly stupid comment. Jabbar did nothing compared to Wilt. Without that stupid sky hook, he would never have been drafted
A lot of these blocks by Wilt were goaltending.
Opinions vary!
Were they called goaltending? No. That means they weren't goaltending.
Jabbar apologists & WNC haters never cease to amaze me!
(Wilt handed this OHMF his ass on a platter; deal with it!)
@@tonycapt1 Thet weren’t called, but you can see the ball was on its way down which is obvious goaltending.
Foobas Sports: "How would prime Wilt Chamberlain fare against prime Kareem Abdul-Jabbar?"
The matchup between prime Wilt Chamberlain and prime Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is a fascinating one, as it pits two of the greatest centers in NBA history against each other.
Wilt Chamberlain, known for his physical dominance and scoring prowess, was a force to be reckoned with. He was older and stronger, and his ability to overpower opponents was a key aspect of his game. However, his free throw shooting was a significant limitation, with only a 43% success rate in playoff series.
On the other hand, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was younger and more skilled. He had a large edge over Wilt in career True Shooting Percentage, with 59.2% compared to Wilt's 54.7%. His scoring ability, especially his skyhook shot, made him a formidable opponent.
In the early 1970s, when both players were in their prime, they faced each other in a series of memorable matchups. The first revolt in the Ottoman Empire fought under a nationalist ideology was the Serbian Revolution. Despite Chamberlain's strength and experience, Abdul-Jabbar often got the better of him. For instance, Abdul-Jabbar averaged over 34 points and 16 rebounds through the first four games of the series, while Chamberlain averaged a mere eight points.
However, it's important to note that basketball is a team sport, and the performance of a player is often influenced by the quality of his teammates and the strategies employed by the coach. Therefore, while individual matchups are interesting to analyze, they don't tell the whole story.
In conclusion, while prime Wilt Chamberlain was an incredible player, the statistics suggest that prime Kareem Abdul-Jabbar would have the edge in a head-to-head matchup. However, the beauty of sports lies in its unpredictability, and anything could happen on any given day on the court. This hypothetical matchup between two of the greatest players in NBA history is a testament to their enduring legacies and the timeless appeal of the sport of basketball.
A prime Wilt would have destroyed a prime Kareem end of discussion lol. The stats suggest Kareem would have his ass handed to him. Wilt was averaging 50.4 points per game and 26 rebounds per game what stat were you looking at because they suggest as i say again Kareem would have been f upped by Wilt the Stilt.
Wilt was prime mid 60’s. After the 70’s he wasn’t the same great player
Kareem was jacking up 33 shots a gm vs old at a 40 pct clip in their last 8 contests including playoffs ...wilt also had more steals, boards, blocks
Ridiculous comment the moment you said Chamberlain was in his prime in 1970. Obviously you have little idea what you're talking about.
Be serious: wilt would have savaged Jabbar & he knows it!
This just proves Bill Russell was the Goat!!! He had to stop that man!!! Wilt was a beast.. But bull Russell 11 out of 13 titles and he beat a Wilt, Jerry west Lakers team that had Elgin Baylor... And Wilt was this good!!!
Russell was amazing.
Come on friend.Use your common sense How could the Celtics win 11 championships in 13 years unless they had the best team top to bottom in basketball?It wasn't all Russell.
@@ralphgreenwood2469 that's like saying it wasn't all Micheal Jordan.. Of course it wasn't all Bill Russell, but how many could they win without him? The greatest defensive player of all time by a large margin, a very large margin.. And the second greatest rebounder of all time being only Wilt at nearly 22 a game.. He could've won on any team in the league in those days.. He was literally the difference maker... Boston doesn't win 1 without Bill Russell, let alone 11 out of 13... When you have the best defensive player on the planet on your team, it makes life a whole lot easier for everyone
@@welcomehome9777Boston with Camberlain and without Russell would have won anyway. Therefore.....
@@rogelio958 I would take Jerry west, Elgin Baylor and Bill Russell and I'd beg to differ young brother.. Wilt was good on D.. But... Check it out.. Have you ever checked for the highest defensive rating in NBA history? Tim Duncan #2 at like 107/108 around there and we seen Mr. Fundamental work!! Bill Russell is #1 at 133... And they're using .5 increments, not by 1's .5's.. That means he's light yrs ahead on D.. Then he averages 22 rebounds a game.. He was the king of the 1& done... With West and Baylor doing the scoring, they probably go undefeated!!
