Also, he was selfish, a choker, and Bill Russel was better.

I was the copy editor for Wilt’s first autobiography, published around 1973, “WILT: Just Like Any Other 7 Foot 1 Inch Superstar Who Lives Next Door to You.” He said that when he went with the globetrotters, they played him at point guard, which improved his ball handling abilities. Too bad they didn’t teach him to shoot foul shots.

When I was chauffeuring for the NBA Maurice Stokes Benefit Game (summer of ‘66), a Caddy convertible took a wide curve and ran me off the road. The driver stopped, and I noticed a large man who appeared to be standing in the Caddy. It was Wilt. He wasn’t standing. He saw that there was no damage and drove off. I reminded him of the incident years later at his restaurant in Boca Raton, and…he didn’t recall it.

Thanks SO much Ethan for doing this post about Wilt the Stilt. I may only be 21, but I have always been a champion of Wilt as the best player in bball history.

So, with all of his sexual conquests, by the law of averages he’s gotta have at least 10+ Wilt and Wiltina jr’s running around somewhere. Does anybody know how many kids he does or doesn’t have?

Wow. In light of Mr. Chamberlain’s, err… bedroom proclivities, I find his Volleyball magazine cover to be very…apropos. I truly thought it was the cover of a magazine dedicated to a much different ’sport!’
