It sucks that Wilt had to go so early at 63 seeing Bill without him is like seeing Shaq without Kobe it always makes me a little sad.

Man, I wish he could’ve told people today of what he went through in his time. There are so many crazy stories I want to hear from his perspective along with his thoughts on Lebron and the goat debate knowing Wilt he would likely say to the media when asked that he is the goat, not Jordan or Lebron:lol

Indeed Wilt has unfortunately been swept under the rug by the Nba and the media after his death which is a crying shame as I would love to see the Nba release more Wilt footage they have to the general public. As I think of a lot of minds would be changed if they got to see footage of prime Wilt instead of Laker Wilt.
