How Wilt Chamberlain changed NBA basketball
    #5680217 - 05/27/06 11:39 AM (17 years, 8 months ago)

-The Big Dipper used to jump from the free throw line during free throws to simply dunk the free ball, since he had an atrocious free shot. The NBA commission eventually outlawed this.

-Teams that opposed Champerlain's team would rarely focus on winning the game, but rather they focused on the strategy of keeping a low scoring game on Wilt's behalf, hence the first strategy was used in running the shot clock.

-Opposing teams would often intentionally foul a player if it looked like they were going to pass the ball to Wilt Chamberlain.

-Although intentionally fouling a bad free throw shooter became known as "Hack a Shaq" in the early 00's, the tactic originated with Wilt Chamberlain.

-In the 1970 NBA Finals, after Willis Reed was injured and taken out of game 7 while defending Chamberlain, a guilt ridden Wilt Chamberlain gave a half assed effort on the court for the remainder of the game, allowing the Knicks to win Game 7 and to take their first title.

-Wilt Chamblerlain managed to have sex with over 20,000 women while maintaining over 31,000 career NBA points.

Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow?
No, says the man in Washington; it belongs to the poor.
No, says the man in the Vatican; it belongs to God.
No, says the man in Moscow; it belongs to everyone.

I rejected those answers. Instead, I chose something
different. I chose the impossible. I chose...
Rapture.
