“Wilt was the best WR I’ve ever seen” - Hank Stram

Saw this thread on reddit and it shocked the hell out of me.





He really could be the GOAT athlete.

Wilt was a athletic freak. Like only Bo and Jim Brown could come close

I believe every word
He could've been the goat wr but had he played qb them defenders would've been looking at his knees like
It's funny how some posters said his numbers wouldn't be as good cause he would struggle to keep up with today's athletes

Wilt Chamberlain is just a Dr. Gero experiment that decided to hoop.

At Overbrook High School in West Philadelphia, he was an avid track and field star: he high jumped 6 feet, 6 inches, ran the 440 yards in 49.0 seconds and the 880 yards in 1:58.3, propelled the shot put 53 feet, 4 inches, and broad jumped 22 feet.

• Wilt was at a party with legendary NFL running back Jim Brown when they got into an argument about who is faster. So they did what any two athletes would do and they went outside, took their shoes off and raced. Wilt won. Jim was mad and raced Wilt again. Wilt won again.
• As a Kansas track and field athlete, Wilt ran a sub-eleven second 100m, a forty-nine second 400m in “baggy sweats”, and a 1:58.3 second 800m. All while being a 7’1” Goliath of a man.

If he was shorter would of gone quicker.

I wish he would have taken one of those offers in the 80s would have loved seeing how he would have played lol.

Quick question about the sub 11 time. I've seen conflicting distances, was it for the 100m or the 100 yard dash?

As 100 yards is 91m.

Really dumb. Dude was an athletic freak & world class athlete.

Probably would've challenged Jordan for GOAT if he began his career in the 80s.

Wilt >Moss

Instead of "Mossed", it would have been "Wilted" back then.
