New Wilt footage and i need you guys help for this.

[coastalmarker99]

I just got off the phone with Nba entertainment about Wilt Chamberlain footage in their archives and good news i think i will be able to get some new footage of him when he was a laker.

But I have to Ask for games and I am asking you guys to please give a list of games you want to see of Wilt when he was a laker.
I could also maybe get some new footage of Wilt as a sixer so give me a list of games that you want to see of Wilt when he was a 76er.

I am calling a man named Jay rivick who controls the NBA's vault and hopefully, we can reach a deal about Wilt.

I am currently in the process of writing a book about Wilt's time as a laker and getting this new footage of him would help me out a great deal.

[coastalmarker99]

Is there any other player besides Wilt that anyone wants me to ask about getting footage for them it can be anyone. Just say the name and I will try my hardest to get footage for you

Good on ya, mate.

Wilt vs Phoenix, February 9, 1969 - 66 points, 27 rebounds. 8-18 from the free throw line.

[Gotterdammerung]

Awesome. Always nice to see other fans of Wilt on this forum, at least rational ones.

I always wanted to watch that Game 6 of the 1970 finals where Wilt scored 45 points and 27 rebounds. For some reason that game is never shown.

I also want to watch any of the 1967 Finals games, just to see how they played, and how Rick Barry played in his prime.

[Gotterdammerung]

Costalmarker99,

That is great you're writing a book on Wilt. I have most of his and books about him.

What did you think of Charley Rosen's book on the 1972 Lakers, the Pivotal Season? Besides its lack of factual accuracy, that is?

:biggums:

[coastalmarker99]

it is a hack job on Wilt he gives him no credit
I just got off the phone with Jay rivick and we are in business with Wilt footage it was very hard to gain a hold of him like Jesus christ the NBA office makes so hard to gain a hold of someone I asked them about them giving me his email and they were like we can't do that it is so annoying.

[coastalmarker99]

Good on ya, mate.

Will do mate I will look into it for you hopefully I can get it for you and others to enjoy.

[coastalmarker99]

The Nba office made me leave a message for a man called Jay rivick he gets the final say on the Wilt footage. I was unlucky that he was not at his desk as he could have picked up my phone call so that we could have talked to each other about Wilt.

I also have a 20-minute video about game 6 of the 1972 Wcf with Wilt and Kareem going at it Wilt dominates Kareem in that game I have never seen anything like it.

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

Any footage of Wilt 'dominating' Kareem would be great.

Don't know WHERE you'd upload that stuff to, but I would definitely be interested - thanks

[Kblaze8855]

Wilt vs Bob Lanier or McAdoo. He had a good game vs rookie McAdoo. And I’d like to see him defending a shooter like Bob. And he had a 30/30 game vs Lanier where Bob had a good night as well. Be nice to show him vs more 80s bigs.

will ask for those games Wilt chamberlain archive is creating a list of great Games that Wilt played for me to get for him and I hopefully will get them all for him and give him all the footage. I will tell you Kblaze I am going to have to pay a lot of money for Wilt footage though I don't care about the money hopefully I can get the footage for the entire basketball world to enjoy.

Here you go enjoy 20 minutes of them going at it this is game 6 of the 1972 Wcf I consider it Wilt's most important game ever he dominated kareem in the fourth quarter and dragged the lakers from down 10 at the start of the 4 to the win.

Was gonna comment on how average Wilt looks athletically compared to the hype stories, but then realized... he was already 36 here.

Good thread! I wish someone would make a movie about the balloon game with Bill Russell. So many good stories back then :cheers:

And in that very game the commentary covered how much less explosive he was after his injury. That is a clearly declined Wilt according to the commentators. They were talking about his physical struggle moving around compared to the old Wilt. And he was still moving like that.

yes Wilt, unfortunately, lost a lot of speed and lateral movement after his knee injury at the start of the 1970 season Wilt changed his playstyle afterwards to be a carbon copy of Russell starting the legendary fastbreaks of those lakers teams.

If Wilt never suffers that Knee injury he would have more then likely played into his 40's as Kareem did which means he would have been the all-time scorer with 40,000 points and over 30,000 rebounds and more then likely the lakers beat New york in the 1970 and 1973 finals with Wilt fully healthy. so that would have given Wilt 3 finals MVP's 4 rings as the best player on two different teams plus 5 MVPs he looked like in the first 9 games that he was going to win the MVP in 1970. Wilt would also have better longevity stats if he stays around after 1973 and pulls a Kareem and plays into his 40s as he did. Wilt would have a very good argument for Goat if he never suffered that Knee injury I must say.

The whole game was on YouTube a couple of years back.

I've only ever seen the 4th quarter shared before - I don't think the entire thing was up on YouTube at least

[Big164]

Wow! That footage is like peering into a time machine! The Quality is actually better than grainy 90s videos.


GET THEM ALL

[coastalmarker99]

can't get on to Jay apparently he is on the NBA board of directors and while I have his email nothing pops up and I can't send him a message and the nba won't provide me with his Email :banghead:

I don't know what to do I might have to contract someone less on the food chain. I feel like a dick for calling the NBA non stop on how to access to Jay.

I feel pissed off the Nba is making me jump through hoops to even talk to someone higher up about Wilt's footage. it is trash low key how they won't provide me with Jay's email even though I know it they said it was Jay rizuk @ nba.com but when I enter it on outlook nothing pops up oh my god this is so frustrating. there is got to be a way I can contact him.

Instead I just contracted a person by the name of David Denenberg who is the SVP, Global Media Distribution & Business Affairs of NBA Entertainment Inc about Wilt footage now I have to wait for a response. I included every single one of the games everyone said here and the ones Wilt chamberlain gave me. if i still don't get a response then I will contract lower-level employees of Nba entertainment and ask them to pass off the message to their bosses.

[coastalmarker99]

Wow! That footage is like peering into a time machine! The Quality is actually better than grainy 90s videos.


GET THEM ALL

I will make no doubt about it I will get them all even if it costs me a lot of money to get the footage of Wilt I am willing to pay thousands for it. and I have spent my entire day chasing Nba employees phone numbers and emails to message them about Wilt and his footage in the NBA vault .

Finished your vid from the '72 WCF's. Good stuff. Don't know their career head2head numbers off top, but in this game Kareem got nothing easy. Wilt blocks his skyhook at 3:10 and then rejects Kareem's layup at 3:22. Multiple contests too like the one around 4:56. He had 9 blocks in total here. All of this, and Wilt isn't even in his prime. Playing with an injury.

Kareem is fortunate he never saw this man in his prime. And lucky the 70s had a weaker talent pool than most eras. Well 'luck' might be a relative term here because he REALLY lucked out playing beside Magic.

Prime Wilt w/ Magic would've been totally unfair.

you're right Prime Wilt w/ Magic would've been totally unfair.

Wilt held Kareem 11 percent his regular-season efficiency in 1972 he shot 57 percent that season he shot 46 percent and Wilt held him to 41 percent shooting in the last 4 games of the 1972 Wcf

I have always thought Wilt should have won his 5 MVP in 1972 instead of Kareem if Russell won over him in 1962 because of team record then why did Chamberlain not win in 1972 Wilt proved that year vs Kareem in the playoffs that he should have been the MVP. In fact, I will say this if dave won over Kareem because of the team record in 1973 then Wilt should have won the award as he lead the Lakers to the best record in NBA history at the time.


Kareem totally would be viewed differently if Magic never comes to La Kareem would have retired in 1982 or 1983 without Magic many people have said Kareem would have quit early especially if his teams have no chance of winning titles. if that's the case then he would have won 6 MVPs and only have one ring in 14 years and only made the finals twice and he would be 8th on the all-time scoring list. to be honest Kareem would have been viewed as the biggest underachiever ever in Nba history without Magic. He had never had to face a great team past 1974 and when teams were winning titles with losing records. Kareem was either not making the playoffs or getting sent home in the first round.

[GimmeThat]

you know if you could make a compilation of Wilt out rebounding his opponent through fantastic positioning without ever having to jump, or barely jumped? would be nice to see just the type of specimen he was

You're doing a great and much needed job, especially now that WCArchive seems to have less time in his hands.
How many games do these guys have in their archives?

In any case, any game depicting a dominant Wilt, especially a high scoring one, is a must. The guy had 271 career 40-point games and only highlights from like 1 have surfaced - and that's in the 60's, not the freakin' 20's.

I promise you I will get as many of Wilt's highest-scoring games as possible NBA entertainment has confirmed to me that they have his 66 point game against the suns in 1969 and 60 points against the royals 2 weeks prior to the suns game. and they also have I think Wilt's game against the bullets where he shot 18 out of 18. And his first-ever NBA game against new york where he scored 43 points.

And his first-ever NBA game against new york where he scored 43 points.

That's great. I think there exists another great game by Wilt vs the Suns in '69, this time defensively. It's the game Wilt goes 15/15/6/23, blocking 15 shots in the second half alone.
Since the 100-pointer doesn't exist, I think the ultimate regular season game to chase is that absurd 53/32/14 one in 1968 vs the Lakers and, ironically, Imhoff again, where there's some speculation he was so active he might have a quintuple double (I doubt it, but it's still a legendary game).

yep, Wca wants me to get that and I also want that game badly along with the 1968 games vs the lakers I might call the NBA tomorrow again and look into those games for you.

[coastalmarker99]

I got a response from jay yes yes 70's fan we are getting closer.
Yes, I am so happy the Nba has responded to me and Jay rizick who is the Footage Licensing Lead of the NBA and is the guy I have been chasing is going to talk to me about Wilt I am one step closer to getting the new footage of Wilt. I will be on the phone with him tomorrow now everyone please give your lists of Wilt's games you want to see so I can talk to him about the games of Wilt.

[coastalmarker99]

Just got from off the phone with Jay it would be quite expensive for me to get the Wilt footage but they are getting a person to look into the NBA archive for me and will give it to me once they get the games Jay is a lovely guy and very nice and the NBA has been very kind to me.

That's great news, for some reason I didn't expect that the NBA would finally be willing to share their Wilt archive.
Is there a list of the games just to get an idea of what to go after first?

[dankok8]

I watched the entire 1972 WCF footage... Game 3, Game 4, and pieces of Game 6.

I have to say that based on this footage I don't see where the argument about Wilt's physical domination of Kareem comes from. Wilt is definitely more massive but he rarely used his strength "bullying" Kareem. He had that one turnaround finger-roll and one dunk but Kareem also dunked and went hard at him a few times. Kareem definitely had much better motor on both ends of the court. Commentators said that Wilt didn't box out Kareem and Kareem could get offensive boards at will which he did. In Game 4 I remember Kareem scoring at least 3 put backs where he got his own misses so even his FG% isn't as bad as the official stats. On defense, he was blocking lots of shots and bothering a lot more shots underneath as did Wilt on the other end. But Wilt had almost zero offensive responsibility. All in all, I don't see where the whole narrative comes from. And mind you Kareem had tendinitis in his knee and wasn't fully fit. I don't even think that Kareem vs. Wilt was the most pivotal matchup in this series. The Lakers small men like West, Goodrich, McMillian completely outplayed those of the Bucks which isn't a surprise given Oscar's injury and the low profile of other Bucks' perimeter players like Wali Jones and Jon McGlocklin who also suffered bruises. That's what decided the series.

[Roundball_Rock]

I have always thought Wilt should have won his 5 MVP in 1972 instead of Kareem

The problem with that is Wilt wasn't even the top Laker in MVP voting. He was 3rd; West was 2nd. Kareem had 581 votes to 393 for West and 294 for Wilt. In first place votes it was KAJ 81, West 44, Wilt 36.

Kareem 35/17/5
West 26/4/10
Wilt 15/19/4

Kareem put up arguably the most dominant non-Wilt season in 72' so he was an easy choice for MVP.


you're right Prime Wilt w/ Magic would've been totally unfair.

True, so would prime Kareem w/prime Magic. Unfortunately, we never got to see that since Kareem was 34/35 by the time Magic started his prime in 1982 (his first all-NBA season). People ignore the timing of duos but the ideal would be two players reaching and staying in their primes together. It certainly would not be one guy entering his 2 years after the other guy exited his 11 year prime as happened with Kareem & Magic. As a comparison, Jordan, Russell, Magic, Bird were all retired by or at 35. Wilt retired at 36.

[baudkarma]

March 27, 1973. Bucks at Lakers. Kareem vs Wilt. Wilt plays 46 minutes and scores zero points. He does not even attempt a single shot or a free throw. Why?

[dankok8]

March 27, 1973. Bucks at Lakers. Kareem vs Wilt. Wilt plays 46 minutes and scores zero points. He does not even attempt a single shot or a free throw. Why?

Because it was near the end of the season and he wanted to ensure he gets the FG% record.

[bullettooth]

Because it was near the end of the season and he wanted to ensure he gets the FG% record.

LeBron definitely took notes from Wilt.

LeBron definitely took notes from Wilt.

Okay, maybe? Wilt did set the single season FG % record by shooting 0.7270. That record was only broken last season when Mitch Robinson shot 0.7419.

But the record Wilt broke was his own, 0.6826 in '67. He also held third place on the list with 0.6942. Wilt could have shot horribly over the last two games of the season (say 10-50) and still won the FG % title for that season and also set a new all-time record. In the meeting between the two teams earlier that season the Bucks hadn't been especially successful in shutting Wilt down (8-12), though we note Kareem went off for 37 pts on 17 of 32.

Well, that's exciting. Wilt's 1964 was a GOAT-level season anyway and he was at a great physical combination of near 300 lbs (trimmed down from an even more impressive 320 in training camp) and still elite level speed and jumping. Especially looking forward for that playoff game against the Hawks.

It is a shame that he suffered a heart attack in the offseason after 1964 it would be the first of many heart problems for him hell even Wilt expected that he would die before he was 50 and wanted to live it up every day as a result of thinking that.


As a result of suffering a heart attack the 1964-1965 season after was a strange year for Wilt through to his credit he played even through his personal doctor covered up the fact that he had suffered a heart attack through Alex Hannum suspected and knew what had happened to Wilt and why he couldn't play for the first weeks of the season.


A longtime friend of Chamberlain, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said Chamberlain has complained of an arrhythmia since he was 23, and thought he was going to die of heart failure at some point.

A big reason behind this was Clyde Lovellette and Willie Naulls, who hit him in the mouth with their elbows within just 2 games from each other in his rookie season (exactly the age you mentioned). He lost a couple of teeth and, much worse, suffered blood poisoning, which would probably have been prevented if he had been playing nowadays and from which he never fully recovered. He was a specimen, he'd have no reason not to live a much longer life otherwise, the same way Mikan or Russell or Kareem did/do. His punch on Lovellette was the least he should have done. And it took him too long.
Anyway, waiting anxiously for these new goodies.

I want them ALL!
:oldlol:

[coastalmarker99]

I want them ALL!
:oldlol:

You got it then after that we move to getting prime 76er footage of Wilt i want to crush to the myth that he was some unskilled bum who just dunked on midgets as so many people think nowadays and also the fact that Russell was better than him which is completely untrue and Bs. and I know the footage I am getting of Wilt will back me up on that argument.

[coastalmarker99]

Good news everybody at Inside hoops I have just recently heard back from a contact in the Chamberlain family and I will have the chance to email or speak to their family about getting their permission to get Chamberlain's footage from the Nba archives.

This is so exciting for us as basketball fans as I could get from there Reed vs Wilt Russell vs Wilt Kareem Vs Wilt footage along with Prime Wilt footage such as his debut in the Nba against the Knicks and many other games such as regular season and playoffs.

We are getting close Inside hoops and other basketball communities very close to getting a lot of '60s and 70's footage as long as I seal the deal with Chamberlain's family I can get Russell's games vs Wilt and many other great players from that era. And if I do seal the deal that will ensure that we will get a better or different perspective then we already have of Wilt and so many other players that played in the '60s and '70s.

[Psileas]

Man, I can't believe all those incredible archives had been waiting for so long without anyone before caring to do this extra step. I hope they are in decent quality. In any case, seems like we're practically at the dawn of a "new (cognitive) era".

PS. I've been enjoying that "old games" boxscore project on that other forum. Btw, Wilt must have had closer to 7 assists in that G7 of the 1970 Finals. WCA seems to agree. Just as a sidenote.

I think so too that Wilt had 7 assists in that game which he gets too much blame for as he did his job the player that should have been blamed for the Lakers losing that game was West as it was an absolute ass-kicking that Walt gave to him that game.



Also about the quality of Wilt footage, it is in great quality as the Nba has digitized the Footage of Wilt and I think if you saw it you would be rather happy.


There is a lot of Wilt footage such as games interviews Harlem globetrotter stuff that has been hidden away in the Nba archive for long.


I have a question for you if I get Chamberlain's family's permission what games of Wilt regular season and playoffs do you want me to go after.

A game that I want badly is 1967 game 5 Ecf and also the 23 block game against the Suns which the Nba and Abc has confirmed to me that they have the full game on tape.


Other games such as the full game of the 1969 finals game 7 and 1968 ecf game 7 will prove useful to us as many people think Wilt did what Kobe did against the Suns in 2006 in 1968 against the Celtics.

[coastalmarker99]

Good news everybody as I have gotten footage of Wilt's 58 point game against New York in 1964.

This is the first time for many of you I am sure that you can watch one of Wilt's many 50 point games and see him being in a scoring mentality.

[coastalmarker99]

I will note to all of you that Wilt uses the fadeaway a lot against New York in this game to score most of his points and that he is wearing a mask as well why is that I am not sure.

[coastalmarker99]

Here is the footage of Wilt

Whoops, I got that wrong the footage is actually Wilt Chamberlain's debut as a Sixer against the former team SF Warriors. This is his first of famous duels against Nate Thurmond. Enjoy!

Wow that's pretty awesome footage. I'll have to wait until later today to watch it on the TV.

Thanks for all your effort.

Will you be posting footage of this game?

[coastalmarker99]

Yeah here it is

Sorry. I meant footage of the 58 point game against the Knicks.

Sorry. I meant footage of the 58 point game against the Knicks.

I don't think I have it yet though I should be able to get that footage of that game in the short future.

[coastalmarker99]

Here is the footage for the 1965 game 7 between the Celtics and Philadelphia 76ers guys.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4k7N9DKVlw&feature=emb_title

[coastalmarker99]

Note that the game 7 loss in 1965 was one of Wilt's best ever games he shot 12 out of 15 from the field and scored 30 points against a legendary Celtics team while being a massive underdog to win that series anyway.

Yup, and 32 rebounds (2nd most prolific rebounding series ever, #1 is also his, also vs Russell), but I have some uncertainties about his blocked shots in some of these games, since referenced numbers vary.

PS. That game was what had sparked by interest about missing footage of those games, lots of years ago. If the clips of Havlicek's steal or the previous basket of Wilt exist, what would be the chances of this being the only part of the game that survived? Very slim. There had to be more. And here's some real proof.

Indeed there is more footage of that game and we can clearly see how stacked those Celtic teams were honesty watching that footage you feel as if John Havlicek is the best player on the court for the Celtics along with Sam Jones. I can see why Wilt no matter how well he played wasn't able to beat those Celtic teams most years besides 1967 as my god were they stacked with talent.

[coastalmarker99]

It is also very interesting to see Wilt using that deadly fadeaway of his to great effect during this game it's a shame that there are still some people today who think of Wilt as some tall unskilled brute when Wilt may have been one of the greatest finesse players ever.


I hope as we get more footage of this legend that we can solve some of the myths that were written about him after his career by others who had negative agendas against this legendary basketball player case in point Bill Simmons.

Yes, and since I doubt Simmons isn't aware that most of the crap he spews against Wilt are myths, we need this to show that Simmons is clearly biased, to say the least, and that his Book of Basketball isn't some Hoop Gospel that serious fans should use as reference.

PS. I know that it's not my or your business, but please, try (either you or someone else at the other board) to convince TRex to resume his Old Boxscores Project (at least, finish that Bulls-Lakers game that he stopped after less than 0.5 quarter!). That work is much more rare and important than participating at yet another Top-100 project, which happens every few years anyway and attracts lots of posters, while the other project only has 1 person working there.

[dankok8]

Just watched the 1965 Game 7. Great work! :cheers:

I hope you find more and more footage from that era.

Do you mind telling me what the boxscore project is about man and how it works.

[coastalmarker99]

Here is a list of footage I am going to get from that era through I will focus on getting the Wilt games first things first as Wilt is by far the most interesting player from that era.

Good stuff OP

[coastalmarker99]

Just watched the 1965 Game 7. Great work! :cheers:

I hope you find more and more footage from that era.

Have been talking to some people that work within the Nba archives and I think I might be able to get a lot more footage of Kareem and Wilt battling each other in the 1971 and 1972 playoffs along with their first-ever matchup in 1969 but we shall see.

[L.Kizzle]

NBA TV used to play older games from the 60s and 70s. There rarely do these days. The farthest they seem to go back now is 80s games between the Lakers/Celtics/Sixers of the early 80s.

[Psileas]

Do you mind telling me what the boxscore project is about man and how it works.

My bad, I meant play-by-play project.
He had created some Google Sheets with play by plays of old games, including full stats of each player and shooting logs.
I now read one of his last messages there admitting the same thing, that he had left the project fall behind.

That would be fantastic. I watched the footage you had from the 1972 WCF a few months ago. Game 3, 4 and 6... i

The clarity on this is sick man! Nasty seeing the athleticism of Wilt with his fadeaways vs the brains of Bill. Also noticed, these dudes back then glassed hard...lookin like Rodman out there. Thanks for the upload

[Jasper]

bucks vs Lakers in the playoffs ... I saw one game .. Kareem vs Wilt was always epic

https://mega.nz/file/xVlG1LhA#dOUPbwNZgC_AajlU56hBh-ntOIKAykim_8jGtuBGnPoThis is outstanding. May I ask more details on the acquisition process? Are other, non-Wilt games available for acquisition from the AP or NBA archives? Did you pay for these? Does that provide you with permission to share?

I'm fascinated with this process. This footage is beautiful.
