Amid the experiments, everybody in the sport was asked what they thought of such a change. Chamberlain said that he wouldn't mind it, because "it would only add to the prowess of the big man." (Worth noting: Wilt could dunk on the 12-foot rims Allen kept around at Kansas). Russell and Alcindor didn't think it would hurt them, either. John Wooden, Alcindor's coach at UCLA, was opposed to both higher rims and the dunk ban, although he did propose a rule that mandated a pass after a rebound to eliminate the tip-in. (By 1997, Wooden would change his mind, calling for 11-foot rims and a dunk ban.)

Yup. No disrespect to Wilt, he may have had a great vertical but that didnt translate on the court.


Kinda like Lavine. He jumps high as **** in dunk contests but in game not as much.

FOUR THINGS PEOPLE SWEAR THEY SAW WILT DO

1. Pluck a half-dollar off the top of a backboard - former Sixers trainer Al Domenico.

2. Block a soaring slam attempt by Gus Johnson by grabbing the ball and returning it and Johnson to the ground - Baker League founder Sonny Hill.

3. Break the bank playing craps at a London casino in 1967 - former football great Jim Brown.

4. Get 55 rebounds against the Boston Celtics - 11,003 fans at Convention Hall.

Legends abound of the truly great leapers who could touch the top of the board. Almost always the feat involves money-claims that the player could grab a dollar bill off the top of the board, or could pluck off a quarter and leave two dimes and a nickel change ... "I defy anyone to say they took change off the top of the backboard," Chamberlain said. "I could. Someone would put a quarter up and I'd snatch it down. I've heard stories about Jackie Jackson doing it, but I've never seen anyone (but himself) come close." Sonny Hill, a Philadelphia leaping legend of the '60s, backs Wilt, saying, "The only man that's been to the top, that's Wilt. I asked Kareem if he ever did, and he could jump a little bit. He told me, `Sonny, no.'"

[deja vu]

Where's a photo or video footage of Wilt dunking on 12-foot rims? Pretty sure someone would want to take a photo or video because it was an amazing event.

But we all know that it didn't happen so there's none. :lol

Neither did his 100 point game then, right?

GTFO...

100 point game wasn't planned in advance. So if Wilt said before the game that he will drop 100, the media will make sure to cover it.
