He was a hero to me in the sporting sense of the word as well as a true Jazz enthusiast and nigh on all 'round renaissance man. And one of, if not the, best athlete the world has ever seen.

My Dad played against him when he was on his high school basketball team. He said it was like an adult pro playing against 4 year olds.

As for the strongest man to ever live, I suspect it was Angus MacAskill. Like Wilt, we wont ever see another like Angus.
