Wilt wasn't the only legend criticizing Shaq—Kareem Abdul-Jabbar chimed in too:
"He's not been able to lead his team all the way, either emotionally or statistically. He comes up short."

Shaq and Kobe reacting to Wilt’s criticism of the Lakers: Shaq: "My mother told me to leave the elderly alone... He reminds me of my grandpa. Just talk." Kobe: "It's constructive advice... Whether it's positive or negative, I'm going to listen and try to change."

In April 1999, Wilt Chamberlain called out Shaq and the Lakers:
"Everybody talks about his points when we should be looking closer at his rebounds and blocked shots and defense.”
Wilt even defended a young Kobe, laying the blame for the Lakers' struggles on Shaq.

Wilt’s 100-point game wasn’t a total shock—it was the next step in what everyone already knew he could do. He had broken the single-game scoring record just three months earlier.
Players, coaches, and writers predicted 100—even Bill Russell said Wilt could score over 100.
Automatic@automaticnba
he averaged 50 for an entire season bro 100 in a game statpadding and gimmicking against a bottom feeder at the end of season not even that crazy in comparison lol

@JPederZane It was actually backup big Joe Ruklick!
Meschery was on the floor for it, but Ruklick got subbed in late to feed Wilt the ball.

@WiltStats I believe Meschery passed Wilt the ball to score his 100th point.

“They had no difficulty with working like hell without the ball... They had no quarrel with sacrificing themselves to play defense, although Lord knows few could play it the way Dave DeBusschere played it.”
— Thom Greer as DeBusschere’s No. 22 was raised to the Garden rafters.
