Why do people get so salty about Wilt Chamberlain?

[CavaliersFTW]

Vid comes out about him shooting bank shots and fadeaways and it's a big hit elsewhere on the net but surprise surprise his closet haters come out the woodwork on ISH... When is the fake hate going to stop? Give the guy some credit already

Who?

Ever since his 20,000 statement, every achievement or highlight by Wilt needs to be divided by 20,000 to see the actual truth

If one part is a lie, what stops all the other myths from being lies?

You mean the FACTS...like these...

Just open up the NBA Record Book...his name is PLASTERED all over it.

I'm salty because I didn't get to watch him play live. It sucks not knowing how great he really was or wasn't was because I didn't get to see it.

At least I'm not some beta era Bron stan though that thinks shooting 33% in the finals is somehow connected to greatness when the guy will never win anything without Wade.

ISH posters literally wrote essays why we shouldn't be impressed by his fall away jumper in that other thread, spent more time on it than it took to watch the vid

40% is not 33%, and Jordan never won anything without Pippen

Wilt is the LeBron of yesteryear.

Clearly the best player in the league but brings out the haters in full force.

Don't ever try to up play Bron relative to Jordan. You sound like a fool in doing so and you know better.

Some of those games Bron shot 33-34%.

Jordan won a hell of a lot more with Pippen than Bron ever won with Wade. It's amazing what happens when you don't run off to other teams trying to chase rings. Hell, Bron can't even sign in Cleveland without being a diva about TT's contract.

He's a laughing stock. A 2/6 JOKE.

Jordan and Pippen don't even know how to lose a finals series. Bron sure does though.

It's like this with every major icon. The stans exaggerate more and more to make him look good while haters exaggerate on the opposite end of the spectrum. Then the extremes of both sides just become equally delusional to the 90% of us in the middle trying to gauge the player objectively. It's like this for MJ, Bron, Kobe... Everyone people care enough to talk about.

It's pointless and laughable though for both sides to seriously comment on Wilt if they haven't seen him play.

if I make a video of myself hitting full court shots it doesn't mean I hit them at a high percentage during the game...

Shoot 68 percent on 24ppg in the NBA with fadeaways as your #3 pet shot, or make 35 shots in a row during NBA games without missing including fadeaways, safe to say you've got it dialed in it pretty well.

Inb4 conjecture: "no way it was accurate just no way"

The man simply did not miss.

The better question is why are you obsessed with a 60's basketball player? Who cares about Wilt Chamberlain.

Nice player.... hurray! He was good.

Ok?
