Nearly 3 minutes of new footage from the youtube channel 70sFan. Wilt is the focus of the highlight but it includes some plays with West, Riley and others. The announcers are on some crack for what they said at the end though...You'll hear it for yourselves

Blocking some of those hook shots was impressive. On the other hand it's hard to imagine what some of those players were thinking going one on one with Wilt and attempting some layups... Wilt must have been a great passer. Not a lot of assists in this video but the way he passed the ball is Jokic-like.

The way Wilt can just casually block any shot near the basket with either hand. Good footage. If I could time travel one player to today, it would be him.

Ditto. :cheers:

Given the state of the NBA today, a young Wilt would likely average 35 ppg and pull down 19 rebounds a game. This depends on how much the coach plays him, because hardly anyone averages even 40 minutes a game these days. If Wilt plays 45 minutes, his stats go up.

Peak wilt, 25 ppg and 20 rpg with 9 apg due to the higher number of shooters available and limitless stamina.

Old Wilt as seen in the YouTube video, about 11 ppg with 17 rpg, 5 to 6 blocks per.
