“I Present To You Wilt Chamberlain, The Greatest Basketball Player in History.”…
The NBA has never seen a more dominant force than Wilt Chamberlain. Despite this, Chamberlain is frequently forgotten when discussing who the NBA’s greatest player is.
The perception that Chamberlain was overly domineering is the reason why so many people ignore him. You can see that this is accurate if you glance at the record book.
It is crazy to consider that Chamberlain possesses 72 NBA records, either alone or in a tie with other players. Why, therefore, does he rank lower on people’s all-time lists?
People like to bring up the fact that, aside from being viewed as “too powerful,” he only has two titles to his name, whereas Bill Russell, his fiercest competitor, has eleven.
Although many people overlook Chamberlain’s genius, the Philadelphia 76ers paid tribute to him in a fitting manner on March 18, 1991, when they retired his jersey.
