The Wilt Chamberlain Offensive Scouting Report Project Thread:

[QUOTE=CavaliersFTW]We love to talk about dominant stretches of players, how about this one:

Wilt Chamberlain from 2/8/67 - 2/28/67 (10 games)

32.0 ppg on 74.7FG%,
26.6 rebounds per game
9.3 assists per game
11.6 blocks per game

:biggums: :biggums: :biggums: :biggums: has there ever been a more dominant stretch on both ends of the floor ever!? That is flat out insane![/QUOTE]


That's actually less than one assist away from AVERAGING a quad double over that ten game stretch. Do you have the numbers for all ten of those games? If so, it would be interesting to see how many quad double games he might have had over that stretch.

^ Block numbers are all estimates for those games. There is no source to confirm them as far as I know. Still... :bowdown:

[QUOTE]True, but I think the Kareem/Wilt video (and the Russell jumping clip) were more along the lines of what ESPN was looking for here. [B]This type of video is intended for a different audience as far as I can tell[/B].[/QUOTE]

This is true. The "scouting report" on Wilt is a much more complete version of the older 3-5 minutes clips typically called "highlight films", which, however, realistically, weren't highlight films. Neither is it.
A 10 minute clip with, say, 4 minutes of Wilt's best baskets+4 minutes of best defensive plays+2 minutes of his best passes would form a real "highlight reel" and probably have a lot more views.

Also highlights tend to be fixated on the finish these days, rather than the actual move that got the player free and enabled them to finish... the move is the hard work as far as the game of basketball goes, not the finish. But casual fans tend to only understand the finish I think that's what draws viewers, fan highlight reels typically zero in on the moment that a player cocked their arm back on a slam, contorted their body in dramatic fashion during flight, or put extraordinary spin on the ball or just displayed a good shooting stroke. Most highlight films I see I can't even see what the player did to get open, it's been cut out inadvertantly by the mixmaker. All that floor game is probably just looked at as boring filler as far as most casual fans are concerened I think, and I'm guessing it's because they don't see/understand what's going on.

Excellent work, lads :cheers:

For my next revision of this project, should I change up the music from epic to some beats more like this:

:confusedshrug:

Next revision is starting to come together, going to be called something different than scouting tool though, as instead of a 5 or 6 minute preface of his "size and tools" I will now preface with a 20 minute highlight package of his defense, passing, size, and insane physical tools he possessed.

Check out some of the footage:

The above clips would follow my as yet unfinished section that adds context to his size (clips of him standing along side shaq, etc, testimony of his playing weights, wingspan etc).

Also as some of you know I've found about 20 more field goals of his since that last scouting video which will all be included in their appropriate categories. This will likely end up the first legitimate hour long highlight video of Wilt and of any player in general from that far back in time :rockon:

I removed that link but check Youtube in about 6 to 8 hours.

I finished it, it's rendering as we speak I can't get it up quick enough. Greatest mix I've ever made.
