Can you imagine what Ausar Thompson would be like at 7-1 with a 7-8 wingspan and super human strength. The Big Dipper wouldn’t have to

Al Attles on talking Wilt Chamberlain out of returning to the NBA:

“My feeling was, if he were to have come back, the mystique would have been lessened. I told him that.”

His vertical from a standing position off two feet is like nothing you’ve ever seen. He could wait until a shooter was about to release his shot before elevating. It’s why he put up block numbers that are out of this world. He is Once In A Lifetime. Wilt

@MarcFor46612972 @NBA And a great young man!!

[Elder Marques Johnson @olskool888]

Who compared the two? I got to know Wilt when he was in his mid 40’s. He played with us at UCLA all the time in the summer. Saw him dominate big men 20+ yrs younger, when he felt so inspired. Would hold court afterward, entrancing us with his legendary exploits, while laying on the grass in front of the gym…what a time!

[Andy Roth @arhooptalk]

Even in his mid 30’s Wilt’s standing vertical off two feet was insane. During Kareem’s @kaj33 20-year career no other center came close to blocking the skyhook as often as The Big Dipper did. That’s just a basketball truth.

[Olin Chamberlain Sr. @OCChamberlain]

@aaronsha I agree, thank you!
