And yet he couldn't hit a free throw to save his life.

Obviously, that is an edited highlight video.

He wasn't someone who could hit fadeaway jumpers on a regular basis.

And I know the guy who puts out these Wilt Chamberlain videos on Youtube. He's obsessed with Wilt Chamberlain and does everything he can to make him larger than life. He posts on different message boards to talk about how great Wilt is almost like he's spreading propaganda.

Wilt was a great player, but this guy has edited videos with some kind of video editing software to make him appear larger to win arguments with people on the internet that he was bigger than Shaq. Not just taller, but more muscular.

He also likes to pump up Bill Russell. But not because he cares about the legend of Bill Russell... but it makes Wilt look better if he was doing so well against a worthy opponent.

Like I said, Wilt was a great player, but don't think he was like Dirk Nowitzki or Hakeem Olajuwon shooting the fadeaway. It wasn't the case.

Damn, dude. It's okay. There were good players in the past. I don't know why marvelling over those players is such a trigger for you.
