San Fran Warriors coach Alex Hannum on defense used against Wilt Chamberlain: “There’s a double standard for defense in the pivot, one for the rest of the league and one for defense against Wilt. Everybody can shove and push and maul Wilt and get away with it.” (Jan 2, 1965)
Wilt Chamberlain dunks over New York Knicks forward Dave Budd. Dave Budd on guarding Wilt: “I felt helpless. Wilt is unbelievably strong. For a while, I figured I’d race him down the court and take the spot I knew he wanted. But then he found another spot.” (Jan 30, 1963)
Chicago Packers coach Jim Pollard on Wilt Chamberlain blocking Walt Bellamy’s first nine shots: “My man is 6-11, but every time he went for the shot, boom, there was that big hand.” (Dec 8, 1961)

Elgin Baylor on Wilt Chamberlain during the 1961-62 season: “He’s improved so much it isn’t funny. He’s making more offensive moves than I ever saw before. He’s mastered that fall-away jumper so he just doesn’t miss it, and he’s moving much more to his right.” (Dec 30, 1961)
NBA referee Pete D’Ambrosio on officiating Wilt Chamberlain’s 100-point game: “Remember, I reffed Wilt in high school and saw him all along. Heck, he once got 90 in a 32-minute game. Nothing he’d do could surprise me.” (Mar 2, 1975)
Warriors scorekeeper Dave Richter on Wilt Chamberlain’s 100-point game: “I was running out of room to put the X’s (for field goals) and O’s (for free throws.) First I was making the X’s half the size, then a quarter. Finally I had to put them in the margin.” (Mar 2, 1975)
Michael Jordan on Wilt Chamberlain’s 100-point game: “There’s no way I’d have the stamina to get 100. I don’t see how anyone could. It’s not possible. I couldn’t withstand the beating I’d take running up and down the court 48 minutes.” (Dec 9, 1990)
Kobe Bryant on Wilt Chamberlain’s 100-point game: “That’s unthinkable. It’s pretty exhausting to think about.” (Jan 24, 2006)
Wrote this in 1987 to commemorate the 25th anniversary of March 2, 1962. Wilt didn't really want to talk about it, until he talked about it...
Wilt Chamberlain arrives in Philadelphia ahead of his debut with the 76ers. (Jan 21, 1965)
Wilt Chamberlain and the 76ers protest Red Auerbach as the East All-Star coach. “We won the regular season East title and the rules say that OUR coach is supposed to have that honor. As far as I know Red Auerbach wasn’t our coach. So why should he represent us.” (Dec 30, 1966)
Wilt Chamberlain’s historic 42-point 1962 NBA All-Star Game performance in St. Louis Arena. (Jan 16, 1962)
“I don’t think anyone in that room realized what an effect it would have for future generations playing this game.” The 1964 All-Stars relive their potential strike in the first-ever televised #NBAAllStar Game

Ospreay beat Danielson in probably the greatest match that has ever taken place in the United States.
Ospreay won with the hidden blade. If you see one match this good in your life as a wrestling fan, you should consider yourself blessed.
This is pretty cool. UConn coach Dan Hurley explained to JJ Reddick that some of his offensive sets have been influenced by Kyle Shanahan’s play designs, window dressing and having multiple looks or actions off one play. #49ers
Its starting to feel real

@WiltStats Back in the day (including when I played HS ball in 1980s), the home team wore even numbers and the away team wore odd (or vice versa). That way, there was no confusion by the referees about who fouled who, which might happen if two players on opposing teams had same number.
Wilt Chamberlain was named MVP and Rookie of the Year, was First Team All-NBA and All-Star, led the NBA in scoring and rebounding (blocks weren’t counted back then) and averaged 37.6p and 27.0r. There’s a reason the ROY trophy is named after him.
Victor Wembanyama's rookie season is over: • 1522 points • 755 rebounds • 274 assists • 254 blocks • 128 3-pointers Wemby is the only player in NBA history with 1500+ PTS, 250+ BLK, and 100+ 3PT in a single season. It's the greatest rookie season
