Could Wilt have averaged 60 to 65 PPG in one season had he played like Shaq did.

Here's is Wilt's take on this question.

''If I had just went out and took it to the basket every time I'd have averaged 60 to 65 points a game''.

And I am seriously starting to think that Wilt's being truthful when he says that.


As his scoring numbers would have even been more god-like had he been allowed to play as physical as he wanted to.

Seriously through If Wilt was allowed to get away with the stuff that Shaq did.

Half of the NBA in the 1960s would have entered themselves into witness protection.

This video best displays to me how funny it would have been to see Wilt play like a brute.


Here is another video that displays how much more unstoppable Wilt would have been had he just decided to take it to the basket every play and just bully people instead of settling for finger rolls and fadeaways.

Watch the number 2 dunk at the 2-minute mark he basically makes Russell look as if he is a child.

The only Center that I think would be seriously strong enough to stop an incredibly aggressive Wilt from going to the basket every single time for dunks is Nate.


Everybody else including Russell would get abused.


Here are some quotes about how strong Wilt was.

"I still remember the time when one of our strongest men, Gene Conley, decided to fight Chamberlain for the ball.

He grabbed it and hung on and Chamberlain just lifted him and ball right up towards the rim."-- Bill Russell Go up For Glory, p.126.


"The first time I guarded Wilt, I stood behind him and he was so wide that I couldn't see the rest of the game.

Then I saw him dunk a ball so hard that it hit the court and bounced straight up back through the rim again."--Bob Ferry, Tall Tales (by Terry Pluto) p. 326


"Once Wilt got upset with me and dunked the ball so hard it went through the rim with such force that it broke my toe as it hit the floor."--Johnny Kerr, Tall Tales (by Terry Pluto) p. 237


"One time, when I was with Boston and he was with the Lakers, Happy Hairston and I were about to get in a scrape.

All of a sudden, I felt an enormous vice around me. I was 6-7, 235, and Wilt had picked me up and turned me around. He said, 'We're not going to have that stuff.' I said, 'Yes sir.' -- Paul Silas

"He [Wilt] stopped me dead in my tracks with his arm, hugged me and lifted me off the floor with my feet dangling.

It scared the hell out of me. When I went to the free-throw line, my legs were still shaking. Wilt was the strongest guy and best athlete ever to play the game." -- KC Jones
