    I'm wondering when he had time to practice + lift weights if he slept with 20,000 women?

    Did the dude practice WHILE having sex? is that even possible?

    Would definitely make for an interesting celebration!

    What about tall tales that people like you actually believe:

    -Howard and a lot of his fans claiming that the special basket he dunked in 2009 was 12 feet high.
    -Jordan having 33/58 game winning shots by "82games.com" standards.
    -Jordan claiming he could score 100 points with today's rules.
    -Washed up Shaq claiming that he can still score at will if he wants.
    -Kobe being considered among the most effective clutch players ever and a valid GOAT candidate. ;)
    -Earl Manigault being able to touch the top of the backboard. Most times this myth is repeated, most people tend to blindly believe this, because streetball myths have a different aura.
    -People claiming that (add random star) would repeat Wilt's accomplishments if he played in his era.

    Although Wilt always liked to bump himself up (like most do, but he did this less diplomatically), have you ever thought that maybe some of his exaggerated claims (like the 70 ppg one) may be responses to the stupid claims that people were making about his era like the last one I posted? (Before 2000, ignorance about Wilt's era was at an all-time high, with people as early as in the 80's starting circulating negative myths, like his supposedly "short, white competition). You know, Wilt also claimed that young Shaq had the fonts to surpass him. So, what did he mean? That Shaq would average more than 70 ppg?
    Some of you take exaggerations way too seriously.

    wilt was a smart dude. he combined his shit.

    he ****ed the chicks, as he was doing that he was doing crazy position where he was bench pressing them at the same time, then after he was done, he'd throw them out the front door practicing his shot.

    Wilt died at age 63.

    If he meant 20,000 individual women, than that is an average of one new woman per day for over 54 years.

    So if Wilt averaged a new woman a day (accounting for occasional nights off where he had none and thus needing to have days where there were more than one), he'd have to have started around the age of 9.

    For every full year he started later than the age of 9, he'd have to had an additional (approx) 180 times where he had 2 women in the same day. Or 120 times where he had 3 women in the same day. Etc.

    And all this doesn't account for repeats with the same women.

    I have read many other myths on Wilt, as well. Only a complete idiot would come with some of these...

    He scored 100 pts in one NBA game. He averaged 50 ppg over the course of a full season. He averaged 40 ppg over the course of his first seven seasons...combined. He grabbed 55 rebounds in a game (and to make it even more unbelieveable, it was against Russell, who had 19.) He averaged 27 rpg in a season...TWICE. He averaged 23 rpg over the course of his career, and then 24.5 rpg over the course of 160 post-season games. He, a center for chrissakes, led the league in assists (and finsihed third in another year.) He supposedly shot .727 in one season, and .683 in another. He had the three highest "perfect" games in NBA history, with games of 15-15, 16-16, and 18-18 (all in supposedly the same season.) He has even been credited with making 35 straight FGAs. And, like anyone is going to believe that he had a game in which he made 28 of 32 FTs. Some crackpot claimed that he had SIX of the entire total of TEN 70+ point games in NBA history. Or that he scored 60+ points in 32 games...which would have been more than all of the rest of the entire NBA players who have ever played the game...combined! Another buffoon claimed that Wilt had 55 40-30 games in his career...which is completely out of the realm of possibility, considering that the rest of the NBA combined, only had six. He/she alos claimed that Wilt had 103 30-30 games, while we know that the rest of the NBA, in it's entire history, had a total of 28...combined. Some moron eevn said that Wilt had FOUR 50-40 games in his career (yeah right...including a 78-43 game.) And how could anyone have TWO scoring streaks of 14 straight games of 40+ point, and then average 53 and 54 ppg in those two streaks. Or that he scored 351 points in a five game stretch. Another goober claimed that Wilt had a 20-20-20 game (sure, like a center is going to get 21 assists in a game.) That same goofball claimed that Wilt had 19 assists in a playoff game, too. One clown claimed that Wilt anchored two title teams that went 68-13 and 69-13...and then to add to the crap, he also said that one of those team's won 33 straight games (where do they get these "facts" from?) Another simpleton said that Wilt had seasons of 48.5 mpg, and that he had TWO post-seasons of 48+ mpg. He even stretched those myths by claiming that Wilt averaged 47.2 mpg in his 160 post-season games, and that he has the SEVEN highest mpg seasons in NBA history. Another popular myth was that Wilt won scoring titles by 18.8 ppg; rebounding titles by 4.8 rpg; and FG% titles by a .162 margin over the next guy. Then that same myth carries on that Wilt outshot entire league's by margins of .271 and .244. One basketball "historian" had Wilt with 25 blocks in a game, and even claimed that Wilt had SEASONS of over 10 bpg. Even SI was not without their "lies", as they had an article which claimed that Wilt RECORDED 23 blocks in a game in 1968.

    My god, Harvey Pollack, of all people, claimed in 2009, that Wilt held some 130 NBA records.

    Where do these clowns come up with these totally unbelieveable numbers and facts?
