@td_nash Lastly, he was so dominant in the paint they had to widen the paint so he could not just camp himself there the entire time. Offensive goaltending was the same as defensive goaltending his teammates were just throw it towards the basket, he would slam it on the rim or not
@td_nash Wilt and it isn’t even close. Bill Russel is a legend, but the question was greatest center, not greatest team. Of the 4 players listed, Wilt was so dominant they had to significantly change the rules of the game because of him.
@td_nash Offensive goaltending was instituted because Will would just swap the ball out of the air. Ever wonder why teams don’t just inbound the ball from behind and over the basket? Because Will would grab the ball and slam it home.
@td_nash Wonder why you have to keep your feet behind the free-throw line when shooting a free-throw? It was because wilt would jump from the free throw line and dunk the ball during free throws
