i laughed so hard on that one i almost felt of a chair. i didn't notice earlier that he sad that he's gay to himself

[catzhernandez]

I was thinking the same thing.

Dude just busted a gay joke... on himself.

On the forums page, when this is the last updated topic, it says

"Wilt Chamberlain: 24 Inch...."

It does not say vertical. And that is not the first word that came to mind before I entered into the NBA forum.

Do you know how I know you're gay?

You thought "peni s" before "vertical."

Somebody forgot to log out of their main account.

From the footage ive seen he was like Mutombo with less coordination, fair enough it was the older games with the lakers, full games too but his fundementals were shockingly bad.

[Sicknote]

LOL, should've just put FAIL across it and start using it on people.

This is the funniest thing I have ever seen.

It's funny how, among all the other things, the OP chose to believe (and promote) the most derogatory one...Objectivity at its worst. It's wrong, anyway. I've repeatedly shown a video with 35-y.o Wilt's head being at almost rim level during a blocked shot, which denotes a past prime 34 inch vertical.
Here's another video of college Wilt blocking a shot at 0:15. You watch that and come tell me with a straight face that he had a 24-inch vertical...

Not to mention that a 24-inch vertical will not give you a 6'6 high jump (old-style jumping), neither a 22 foot broad jump or good 400 and 800 times.

As for the wingspan, it's not really surprising, given that his height probably didn't reach his absolute peak yet and, especially, that his upper body was still very thin compared to his later versions.

Show us the footage you've seen.

That is not a man with a 24 inch vertical.

idk but thats some ancient photoshopping... theres probably something which had to be concealed in the background. trampoline maybe.

not that i doubt wilt's abilities, but its just a strange pic

btw before the ish detectives start: "peni s" has only been used twice on ish before.

It was a weak era for measurement sticks
