It's unbelievable to see how unfriendly the whistle that Wilt got in his era compared to someone such as Giannis who is basically allowed to be a running back nowadays.

Wilt to me is the GOAT when you consider the fact that all of the rules were different and designed to basically stop Wilt from dominating even more.


Not like the rules these days which are basically designed to stop defensive players.


In all Seriousness.


If Wilt was allowed to get away with the stuff that Lebron and Giannis do nowadays.


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 be allowed to play like a brute.

Exactly. These clips are just an NBA Finals - nothing important.

With 47.3 minutes per game for his entire playoff career, I'd bet a ton of other players played way more career playoff minutes than him which would prove your theory correct. Give us examples, you may be onto something!

Back when you would actually have to beat defenses. Basketball used to require skill. Now it's just a freestyle exhibition made to inflate unskilled stars like LeBron and Giannis.

Wilt Chamberlain on NBA reffing:

“The National Basketball Association has two standards of officiating, one for the league as a whole, another for me.”

(Feb 16, 1960)
