Why Wilt Chamberlain is the top player of all time.

True, but his case for GOAT is heavily stats based for that is where he has no peer (unless you adjust for pace). 67' in some ways hurts him. If he played unselfishly like he did that year for his entire career he would have won far more championships.

In accordance to the wise man's creedence, a peaked '67 Chamberlain was the top player in the history of the sport. No other legend peak indisputably can be declared superior. Longevity & accolades can be overvalued for the same reason they are undervalued. Best be to rank the top players as they were in peak form, not to neglect proper due to misfortunes such as Walton & Sabonis.

And folk who spread the creedence that he was single coverage all time time, one shall see K.C. attempting a sneak from the blindslide at the 1:20 mark above as well as the sagging & cheating defender at 4:36, easily picked off by Chamberlain with a gorgeous pass to a well cutting Jackson.

Also to note the marvelous shot by Chet Walker at the 1:42 mark, over two of the top defensive men to play the sport being Havlicek & Russell. And the quick release of Hal Greer on the jumpshot at the 2:13 mark.
