[QUOTE=Legends66NBA7]Wow, hope not man.[/QUOTE]
I believe it.
Most of it probably happened in the early 70's or earlier though and that was because the NBA at that point wasn't really solidified as the huge corporation/business it is today.
At a certain point once it became stable and was consistently earning big money im sure stuff like that became much rarer or stopped completely.

Do you have any source that can confirm this? This sounds interesting but I wouldn't trust it if you only heard it from Jbieber. The guy lies and misinform people constantly to make Wilt look better..
Once he tried to put up a list of tall guys Wilt faced during his career, the sucker Jlauber who is a self-proclaimed Wilt-historian put up a list where some of the players never even played in the NBA or joined the league after Wilt retired and some of them played in the ABA at the time Wilt played in the NBA.
Jlauber is a joke, he never even saw Wilt play back in the days, the self-proclaimed Wilt-historian changed his mind about Wilt 40 years after the actual games and over some footage he found on youtube and some quotes he found on google. Jlauber is a joke, he used to post stuff like this before he became completely obsessed and retarded;

[QUOTE=32Dayz]I dunno if this is true but I read that back before games were heavily televised newspapers would lie about game statistics or perhaps the statisticians themselves would post the incorrect stats in order to hype up and market the game of basketball.
Example : they would change rebound numbers, assists, blocks etc.
Lauber once mentioned I think how they once changed the stats to give Russell the edge in rebounds over Wilt or something.
If this is true then can we really trust or rely on any of those old newspaper clippings or the stats they provide?[/QUOTE]
LOLOL you found out the secret!! The Celtics didn't really win all those rings, the Hawks actually won 14 in a row. But the newspapers re-wrote all the history because Boston is a bigger city than St. Louis so they would sell more tickets that way. Chamberlain doesn't actually hold any records either, they just put that out there to make money. Actually Bob Hogsett holds all the NBA scoring, assists and rebounding records but they cheated him because he was a Piston

Just eat my azz and stop posting.
When you saw Chamberlain do stuff like this in the playoffs you knew you were watching one of the greats:

To me maybe the best single playoff performance I saw of him was in '71, both Baylor & West were sidelined with injuries, he just tore up the Bulls. He couldn't stop Dandridge, Kareem, Wali Jones and Oscar but there was no choking involved. I think that clip is from the 71 WDF

Ehm, yeah, I just checked ISH out to see if you've written something..:facepalm
And it's funny, you old fart, you're 61 and you average more posts per day compared to me so go back to your lonely Wilt-loving life...:facepalm
[QUOTE=Andrei89]Howard could also score 100 points playing against mostly scrubs. And average 50 points per game as a C.
WILT most overrated center of all time[/QUOTE]
:no:
Bump...for the benefit of oolalaa and La Frescobaldi...
Who's better, Prime Wilt or Kwame Brown?
one chokes, the other can't catch a ball, both are scrubs in this league.

Where do you rank Bird among "the winners?"

He was also among the greatest shooters ever according to jlauber.
