Wilt Chamberlain's track times

That pic is from explorepahistory.com. If you want permission, ask them. Not some anonymous user who posted the link to a picture on a running forum.

Also, as a side note, it's often okay to use most anything as long as you use proper citation.

In his memoirs a view from above he talk about his track and field pr's. Still not the same as official proof but who is going to dig up old records, without compensation?

Wilt also talk about the calculation of the 20k number. It's probably not that far from reality as he was a well traveled, socially competent, extremely conspicuous, bucket-list ladies magnet all his life (in an age before the internet and social media) and his robustness in old age would have extended his swinging career.

(I just only find it hard to believe because of 1. Disease, 2. Physical strain.

Having lots of sex is pretty taxing on the body and steals energy away from athletic training, isolation exercise and strength, sport performance and life pursuits. Even magic Johnson has admitted this.

Now granted wilt was one of the greatest freak monster athletes in American history but I dont see how he could have accomplished so much in athletics and other fields while romping endlessly for years and years on end.)

Sadly he passed away rather prematurely in 01' I believe, RIP. I've heard stories of how he was a compassionate, caring and intelligent man too.

He said it would have been a greater feat to love one woman 20,000 times/ways. Some love and devotion that would be, huh

"Wilt also talk about the calculation of the 20k number. It's probably not that far from reality..."

Jerry West outed Magic Johnson and the Lakers. The Lakers provided Magic with a special post game room for special "event." Magic would have sex with multiple women before each of his post-game interviews. Magic is unlikely to have been the first NBA athlete provided with a special sex room: Wilt, and most of the big names in the NBA over the years.

Justin91: Wilt and Bill Russell's teams met over 140 times. Against Russell Wilt AVERAGED 28.7 points per game and 28.7 rebounds per game. Look it up. Maybe you can explain how Russell "owned" Wilt? The NBA record for most rebounds in a game is 55, no that 's not a typo- fifty-five .......by Wilt against Russell. I guess Russell didn't own Wilt that night.

oh... and in those 140 matchups against Russell Wilt never fouled out. In fact HE NEVER FOULED OUT in the NBA

.

20,000 / 365 = 1 woman every day for 54.8 years......or 2 woman every day for 27.4 years. How old was Wilt when he died? I had thought that the number was 10,000.

Condoms aren't effective against either herpes or warts, including when they're asymptomatic, one reason 1 in 6 Americans has them, most of whom don't know it.

You roll the dice 20,000 times, you're gonna get snake eyes.

What an incompetent addlebrained asshat. Snake eyes is a faulty metaphor. (1 in 36, not 1 in 6) The proper metaphor to use would be "You roll a 12 sided dice 20,000 times, you're going to roll a 3 or 11."

If you were more cognizant of mathematical and literary nuances, you'd have realized that 20,000 women over 30 or 40 years involves a lot of two-a-days, so you're not just rolling one die, but often two at once.

And obviously I meant you'll eventually get herpes and warts twice in a row. Once is understandable and no big deal. But if you get them twice in the same day, that's not something to be proud of.

Wiggins writing is just fine. You are the azze-hat here, going nuts over a figure of speech.

And besides you don't seem to have demonstrated high level of expertise in probability mathematics. you want to look big????

go troll Nassim Taleb's twitter and Facebook. Arguments to be had, over mathematics and probability all the time by seriously educated folk.

Then I can laugh at you.

You're such an azze-hat, in fact, you ruined Tiger Wood's marriage. (Badum Tsss)

Fools, every one of you. The obvious answer to the 20,000 is multiple partners for a single session. You don't have to complete the guy's-side of the deed with every woman you are having intercourse with.

Think of it as rolling dice. Which one of the multiple partners get's loaded?

Maybe pearl necklaces were the only gift given. Wilt had no known kids, after all.

And yet, for all that, he was thoroughly owned by Bill Russell

You could not be more wrong. Wilt destroyed Russell. Just couldn't beat those great Celtic teams all by himself. Russell had 7 future hall of famers on his team. Wilt had zero.

" Chamberlain and Russell played head-to-head a total of 142 times. In those matchups, Wilt averaged 28.7 PPG and 28.7 RPG. Russell, on the other hand, averaged 23.7 PPG, and 14.5 RPG.

Also of note is the fact Wilt scored 62 points in a game against Russell on January 14, 1962 in Boston, and scored more than 50 points against him in six other games. The most points Russell ever scored against Wilt? 37. Also, Russell only scored more than 30 against Wilt two other times.

Of further note is the fact Wilt set an NBA record grabbing 55 rebounds against Russell in a game on November 24, 1960, and grabbed more than 40 rebounds against Bill in six other games.

This comment doesn't discuss Wilt's track & field accomplishments, but rather replies to a comment to the effect that Bill Russell owned Wilt when they went head to head. Russell was a magnificent player, and he certainly played Wilt better than others, but it may not be fair to say he owned Wilt. Russell himself acknowledged that he more than had his hands full when he played against Wilt.

I was curious as to what the stats of their head-to-head battles showed, so I googled and found the link below. Not mentioned in that review is the single game performance that I consider the most impressive (and probably untouchable) of Wilt's dozens of records -- even more so than his 100-point game: the single-game rebounds record. On Nov. 24, 1960, in a game against Bill Russell, Wilt took down an astounding 55 rebounds. That's an otherworldly feat, especially against the other dominant center of his era. I don't have time right now to continue researching, but I do recall seeing within the past year that Wilt averaged 28-plus points vs. Russell through his career. Not chopped liver, by any standard.

When it came to championships, Russell undoudtedly had the better of Wilt, but no one -- even Russell -- outplayed Wilt head to head.

Here is the link I mentioned in my comment immediately above:

Wilt himself said he ran a 9.5 sec. 100 yd, which sure isn't 11.0. But watch www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCRIB6ZBSA4, at 0:50 and any doubts about speed and stride length will vanish.

Here is how Russell owned Wilt:

Russell was on much, much better teams that Wilt.

His greatest PR is that he bedded 20,000 women.

Please stop. This forum is no place for embellishments. This would the first known lie as it relates to personal records on letsrun. You are being reported.

How many times did Wilt come out the winner in those 140 games?
