ATL, but rasied in DMV
That was a common joke very tall men heard back in the day. We use to worked with this tall brother who was I believe 6' 8", and he told me he hated when people would say that to him. I'm pretty sure he was hearing it from mostly White people, and probably from some of the visitors who would pass by him on our job. But I don't think spitting on someone ever crossed his mind, on or off the job, at least I hope not. I assume he thought most of them meant no harm. Now in Wilt's case, although that was still very wrong, he probably did it because he felt the stranger recognized him, instead of respecting him, plus the person was probably White. Not sure if Kareem should have told this story, but you'd be shock at some of he things that go on in those circles.

I wonder how long ago this was. because i swear i remember meeting Wilt and Kareem on an elevator when i was a kid. but i couldn't have been more than 5 though, so i was never sure if it was them or if i just confused them with two random tall brehs. pretty sure i commented on how tall they were though, but never said anything about weather.
Edit: Wasn't spit on either.

That’s a pretty common old timey joke for tall people. If he wanted to spit I guess
