The two greatest centers of all-time.

Too bad that we didn't get to see a prime Wilt going up against that peak Kareem, though.

Nice video, thanks. I would for sure take Wilt over Russell.

Kareem has some nice dunks on Wilt's face. Props to Wilt though for contesting those dunks, that's the right attitude.

At 5:45 , Lew looks like he wants to give happy a blindside shot while he's down at that and Wilt comes rite over and gets in between and Lew just looks the other way .He didn't want any of that.

A few moments later Chamberlain steam-rolled Kareem for an easy lay-in, as well. On of the few times where Chamberlain intentionally used his massive power to full advantage in his career.

Do you know when that happened? I've found the game on youtube, just can't seem to find the moment

That's wasn't Jabbar at his best but nice try. It was old Wilt vs before his best Jabbar. Not sure who had the age advantage.

And save the stats, we know Jabbar played in a system in the early 70s were he took a bigger piece of the pie then he didn't later in his career, but in the 1977 playoffs for example when he gave it all he was a better player by far then the one that played against Wilt. And Jabbar going all out is what Wilt would have faced.


I have watched basketball since the 60s and the Wilt vs Jabbar matchup was my favorite and its a shame there isn't more video of it.
