Re: 60 y/o Wilt Chamberlain highlights went viral yesterday and held modern fans in awe
Nobody said he was a stiff and not athletic. We just said he was an Era Specific player who only dominates in his specific era due to many factors such as rules and competition.
You cannot expect regular people to have an opinion especially when they don't can't factor the reasons I mentioned above.
The casual fan doesn't even know what an Era-specific player is.

Actualy, if you followed the people posting it on twitter who were held in awe yesterday I recall at least one NCAA scout / former coach or assistant coach or w/e posting the video among the masses. IIRC he said something along the lines of all players could learn something from watching him play not just big men. I'm sure he also knew nothing about basketball though right?
**EDIT** oh I get it, I bet he was trying to WARN everyone NOT to play like Wilt the "era specific" player right? Okay makes perfect sense now. Carry on.

Late 50's and early 60's Wilt footage is actually the least impressive to me. Sure he was posting huge numbers, but his competition was far inferior. Once the NBA became more integrated by the mid/late 60's, you started to see how Wilt really matched up against players/teams with real talent and athleticism.

I'd love to see a non sped up version.

Nobody can play like an Era-specific player because they are not in that era. You can't just tell players to go out there and play like Wilt and dominate. Wilt had skill sets many can learn from but they are not going to translate to success in the modern game.
His game domination was specific to that only era. You cannot tell Noah to go out there and dominate like Wilt and expect the same result in this era.

Me too.
CavsFTW has officially surpassed the former youtube Wilt archivist, Wilt@Kansas, as the authority on Wilt footage.

I wonder if CavaliersFTW put a disclaimer telling casual fans that he sped up the video to make Wilt look good.
He has done it multiple times on ISH where he would fake pictures of Wilt's head or hands top of the backboard.
