    I just read a previous post of people trash talking Wilt that never knew him. Yeah, Kareem knew him but was also a rival. My sister & her friends played volleyball with him after he retired and moved to Hawaii. No, she didn’t sleep with him and much of that was overblown for his book. He may or may not have slept with tons of women but the entire time we knew him he had one girlfriend and was respectful to all the other women around. He let me play volleyball against him as a very small kid that had no business being on the same court as him and was nothing but kind. He didn’t like being constantly harassed by tourists coming up to him and wanting his autograph or be his buddy. He would deny he was Wilt & just leave it at that and walk away. Our family and friends will only remember him as a kind man that loved volleyball, racketball, and the friends that enjoyed those things with him.

    Conan the Destroyer is on Netflix. One of Wilt’s best acting roles. Check it out!!!!

    Don’t know shit about him personally but this photo reminds me of when I used to see him playing this paddle ball sport with random people at Venice Beach in the early 90s. Maybe this photo is from then and there. I see a paddle hanging on the fence.

  4. He probably heard “how is the weather up there” so many times, maybe that’s why he was rude.
