Which one of these men you selected would be good in basketball ?
I love Bo, but not.
Thorpe and Owens were agile enough to play.
Chamberlain could do track, he was a monster so playing football was OK. Imagine Wilt boxing?
I forgot the (ex-team mate) player who got mad at Wilt after Wilt had blocked several of his shots in the lane one game. He actually challenged Wilt, as he got ready to swing at Wilt,Wilt stuck out his arm and cupped his head as the guy swung 4 times,all missing because of wingspan. Wilt looked at him and said,OK,That's enough, the player acknowledged and said OK, walked away!
