Verify these amazing stats please. Or should we just accept you on your mancrush word.Dude you clearly don’t know anything about Wilt.
He ran a 4.5 forty at close to 300 pounds.
He benched pressed 500 pounds and at age 60 could still press 450.
He had a 48” vertical and he was 7’1” with one of the longest wingspans in NBA history( and still able to press 500 pounds lol)
There is a mythic legend about Wilt on the film set for Conan the Destroyer regarding Arnold that after working out with him at the beginning of filming, Arnold refused to do so anymore because Wilt was out-lifting him and embarrassing him.
Wilt could do anything he damn well wanted athletically and he would have excelled at whatever athletic venture he tried. For instance, he would be a freak show TE in today’s NFL.
Wilt Chamberlain was an absolute athletic freak show of a human being.

no doubt Wilt was a great basketball player but greatest athlete ever . I have my doubts
Wilt was the worst free throw shooter in the nba. But he claimed 40,000 sexual relations with women. Makes my 30,000 seem like small potatoes.
Lmao just Google it newbVerify these amazing stats please. Or should we just accept you on your mancrush word.

Most is rumor and legend. Wilt once told the story of killing a mountain lion barehanded after a game in Arizona.
Arnold has been quoted as saying Wilt could lift 500 pounds.
And there is the rumor he once outran Jim Brown in footrace at a party in 1960......
Depends on how much you believe to be legend, rumor and fact.....

He was a terrible free throw shooter indeed. The Achilles heel marring his athletic perfection lolWilt was the worst free throw shooter in the nba. But he claimed 40,000 sexual relations with women. Makes my 30,000 seem like small potatoes.
You can swallow what you like on any site you google . No need to get yer panties in a bunch and be insulting.Lmao just Google it newb
JFC it’s called the internet
holy ish you’re slow on the uptake aren’t you?
A lot of anecdotal evidence for sure. Hard for a guy with an armlength that great would lift that much. Benching is very hard with long arms. He only weighed 280 maybe. That weight distributed over 7'2" would limit his chest strength immensely. Some stronman competitors who train for that stuff dont lift a whole lot more in the bench

The women and the mountain lion only add to the legend lolA lot of it is his word......
Yes, I slept with 20,000 women
Yes, I killed a mountain lion barehanded.
How do you prove that?
I take it with a grain of salt.
Blazing speed? Verified by whom? Handheld devices. I could run a 4.80. lolHis bench press has been verified by multiple witnesses.
Multiple..
Including benching 450 at 60
Of course you can think he’s an unathletic clod because he played against a bunch of “skinny white guys”, whatever the hell that means, and completely ignore his vertical (highest recorded in NBA history to my knowledge) , his height, his wingspan, his immense inhuman natural strength, his blazing speed for a man almost 300 pounds, and the absurd wing span he had lol.
If it wasn’t for all that he wouldn’t be ish!!
lmao

And these witnesses, who are they and how can we trust the veracity of their claims. They may be infatuated with Wilt as you are and make outlandish claims that cannot be verified 60 years later.
And a 48 inch vertical , c'mon man. His head would be over the backboard lol
Look, Im not trying to be disrepectful of you or Wilt or the claims by onlookers but color me doubtful
I happen to disagree that he is the greatest ever athlete. I cant change the fact that we disagree. We just do.
Stay cool.
My time in the submarine service curtailed my chances.Slacker!
Wilt wasn't dumb. He once considered a fight with ali, but came to his senses and passed. Smart move.
Didn’t Cus D’Amato volunteer to train him? I’m going to go off memory here instead of googling. I think D’Amato thought Wilt had a chance to win the fight but time constraints and conflicts with Wilt’s schedule limited the amount of time Wilt could commit to training for the fight and it wasn’t enough to prepare for the GOAT.Wilt wasn't dumb.
