it seems hard to believe but wilt was truly a freak of nature. chronicles of his strength and athleticism are legendary. he tried out for football and beat the best runner on the team although wilt was running in flipflops, nfl wanted him but he wanted to play quarterback.bill russell told of getting shook off a basketball by chamberlain russell had two hands on the ball to wilts one. does anyone really think muhammed ali could have beaten wilt in boxing?
