I just finished watching the whole thing. The highlights to me:

- How easily he palmed the ball
- The agility on that give & go play
- He played the high post extremely well
- Dunking from the freethrow line with a ~6 foot running start :wow:
- His timing with respect to blocking shots was impeccable
- His second-jump ability is unparalleled
- Enjoyed the commentary by Akeem & co. about big men being the foundation
- His dropstep covers so much ground

And the fact that he did all the above before he even began his NBA career. I've always felt he was more polished than people seem to think, but I didn't realize he was like that so early in his career.

Thanks @dantheman9758. Phenomenal video - very well put together, and the commentary was very interesting to listen to in conjunction with the highlights. My only gripe was that Mind Heist sounded like a bootleg version, but I'll live.

Great feedback thanks CL, speaking about that dropstep - did you happen to catch the dropstep at 26:54 in the NBA highlight preview at the end of the vid? He does a drop-step drive to the hoop and looks like he covered almost the entire lane in one step :wow:

Wilt had the wingspan of Rudy Gobert, hand length of Nerlens Noel, and a standing reach the same size as Gobert's and bigger than Javale Mcgee and was much more solidly built than any of them. And he is more talented than all of them combined, so no way Wilt wouldn't dominate today's game with his scoring acumen and size. Cats can talk about pace all they want. But if Kevin Love averaged 15 boards a game I have no doubt Wilt would be able to the same if not better.

:stopitslime: Wilt would be Roy Hibbert status if he played today. His lack of explosiveness is too apparent. The guy was just taller than all them white boys. In today's NBA, I could see Roy Hibbert being transported back in time and doing the same shyt.
