50 years ago the Buffalo Memorial Auditorium was home to Canisius College, as well as the Buffalo Sabres and Braves. It was a hockey town’s arena, which consisted of cold winters and blue-collar crowds. The snow was piled high outside, but on the hardwood inside, Bob McAdoo brought basketball to life.

Guys think Wilt had no skill and he just ran and dunked on small bigs.
Reality:
Wilt played 828 games against Hall of Fame centers/PFs
Shaq played 224 games against Hall of Fame centers/PFs
Quickest to 10k points:
Wilt Chamberlain 236 games
Jordan 303 games
Quickest to 20k points:
Wilt Chamberlain 499 games
Jordan 620 games
Quickest to 30k points:
Wilt Chamberlain 941 games
Jordan 960 games
The league average height today in 30 teams is 6'7 the league average height in 1962 when Wilt averaged 50 points was 6'6
Wow, a 1 inch difference..
In 1962 there were 9 teams and every team had a big man. Every team had at least one center that was at least 6'10 except for one team here are the details:
Chicago Packers, Walt Bellamy 6'11
Celtics, Bill Russell 6'10
Nationals, Swede Halbrook 7'3
Knicks, Phil Jordon 6'10, Darrall Imhoff6'10
Lakers, Ray Felix 6'11
Royals, Bevo Nordman 6'10
Pistons, Walter Duke 7'0
Hawks, Clyde Lovellette 6'9
They had No 3 point line therefore more crowded lanes. Illegal zone defense was never enforced, and one of the most physical and fastest eras had them running in chuck taylors too.
Wilt had a fade away shot probably invented the fade away, finger roll, hook, and dunks. Note blocks and steals were not counted and if they were he would be the quintuple, quadruple, triple doubles king.
Wilt had a game where he blocked 24 shots!!! 24!!
Wilt would DOMINATE in ANY era.
Put some RESPECT on the greatest big man of all time 👊

I have never seen a contested catch like this ever be called anything but a catch. Even as a DB you know that if it’s even a Tie it will go to the WR. Can’t believe this decided the game.
