RE: SteemSports based on TRUE facts. My writer's perspective.
Ran out of replies but I had to say something about this "But from what I read Chamberlain was the most dominating player ever to brace the basketball." One year Chamberlain averaged 50 points and 25 rebounds... and played 48.5 minutes per game. How many overtime games did they play? Did he ever sit down?
He either never sat down or there are a little overexaggerated stats. Also, there is only 1 photo from his 100 points game... Sadly, nobody filmed it back then.
However, he was still 2 heads taller than anyone else, so it made his dominance a little easier. Just like those mutant 7" 16-year-olds in U-16 championships. Nonetheless, Chamberlain's stats are crazy and if he played like 10 years later, everyone would probably call him the GOAT.
And I remembered Bird vs Magic times. Have you seen "Magic & Bird: A Courtship of Rivals"? This was a really good documentary on their rivalry and strange friendship.
