    me playing on the mini hoop against my 3 year old

  2. RepresentativeNo826

    What did Wilt say to Jordan – “They made the rules easier for you harder for me”

  3. ObliteratedSkyline

    Otto Porter highlights with an old timey filter applied

    If Wilt was born in this era he would have been in the GOAT conversation. Instead we have people like known Celtics fan Bill Simmons tarnishing his legacy.

  5. MasterTeacher123

    Wilt is one of the greatest athletes America has ever produced. 

    It was like dude was built in a lab.

  6. LittlefishBigsplash

    He’s literally chucking the ball up like beer pong, I mean that respectfully because it looks like minimal effort but is actually supreme skill.

  7. FlatulenceConnosieur

    Didn’t Shaq call himself Wiltchamberneezy for awhile?

  8. Bro’s face when he shot the first hook in the corner is priceless

  9. People discount wilt because “ we never got to see him play”, and “ those are just myths”. There is plenty of interviews on video of people talking about him, video of him playing, and even those still alive who played against him first hand. Just lazy people discounting his legacy because it was long ago.

    “He dunked every single way imaginable.”

    Video proceeds to show five or so nearly identical dunks.

  11. 22LOVESBALL

    Watching this footage just reminds me of how dumb it is to compare players from these different eras.

  12. lukeknudson

    Imagine home with a breakaway rim.
    extra savoir faire.

  13. Awesome clip! Wilt was such a stud. I know the old school guys get knocked for playing against inferior competition (and rightfully so to an extent). But Wilt was 7’1 and was also a champion high jumper and sprinter, which is insane. Imagine Shaq competing in the high jump. Plus he really filled out in his later years. Dude was built like a refrigerator. I’d love to see him battle it out with Shaq, Duncan, Hakeem, Giannis, etc. Plus he had such a soft shooting touch. Definitely think he would be dominant in any era.

    Age 50 Wilt footage in unbelievable

    The dude not only jacked af ,he look athletic at his 50s
    and around 7 foot

  15. Wrong-West-9581

    Wish he could’ve played in the 80s and 90s. He never really got to use his physical gifts in the paint. And who knows how many backboards would’ve needed replaced. People sleep on this man. 50-25 on 48.5 minutes in 1 season and never fouled out in his career

  16. ghostface_dilla

    Imagine a man with that build, dexterity, and confidence with modern facilities, training, and medical conditioning. There wouldn’t even be a GOAT conversation. What a freak

  17. It’s crazy how this dude only won 2 championships. Who can he even be compared to in today’s game? He’s big, fast and his midrange game was damn near unstoppable.

  18. InvestmentGrift

    wtf is this AI upscaling on here it’s horrifying

  19. Artistic_Taxi

    Tbh we understate how insane it is to be that height with those motor skills and proportional body mass.

    Everyone I know taller than 6’4” is either very clumsy or extremely skinny and flimsy

    Wilt is insane.

  20. turbulent_winds

    Seeing this in color really brings it to life

  21. squidsquadsquish

    I don’t know the exact term(s) for what they did to these old clips (looks like they artificially increased the frame rate at the very least), but it really brings them to life. I mean, they look weird with all the distortion, but you never really get a sense of the smoothness of the players back in the day. So it’s really neat to see!

  22. RoofEnvironmental340

    Just now noticing how long his arms are, pretty wild for how big he is already.

  23. Prankstaboy6

    This guy is so hard to rank on all time lists.

  24. Pantiesafteralongrun

    Say what you wanna say bout him….. he’s piped down more hoes than points. Cheat code

  25. charlesfluidsmith

    And these young dummies ask if Wit would be dominant today…

    Smh…

  26. WTFisaCelsius

    Never realized he could “palm” the ball with 2 fingers. The only people I’ve seen do that are Wemby and Shaq.

  27. Worth-Tank336

    Imagine this playing in today’s NBA. He’s Shaq/Giannas/Wemby as one person.

  28. motorboat_mcgee

    The casual 3pt hookshot highlights will never get old to me. The one dude’s eyes in the background, and the other dude making a bet and then going speechless lol

  29. Spiritual_Mechanic39

    Hes just goofing off there video of him blocking Kareem Sky hook like it was nothing. He was a true genetic anomaly

  30. koticgood

    Dude was a taller version of Giannis with more power than Shaq.

    Him and Russell are very good nephew detectors.

    Anyone slandering them and saying “today’s game”? Instant nephew.

    Arguably the most athletic freak in the history of sports.

  31. ThatOtherOtherGuy3

    Thank you for sharing this. That was fun to watch.

  32. MatasBuzelis

    There are people out there who think Wilt was just an above-average big who simply thrived due to his era, and they are so fucking wrong.

    Wilt was a god damn freak of nature. Like you think Giannis is amazing, which he is, but then there’s Wilt. Absolute specimen

  33. He was made for the game and the game was made for him

  34. DaddyDontTakeNoMess

    They changed the free throw rules for him because he could just take 2 steps and dunk it from the line
