“My prime and Michael Jordan’s Prime? How Much You’d Bet”: When 7ft 1' Wilt Chamberlain Presented His Case For GOAT Status

The GOAT debate has been waged since the first legends took the stage in the NBA. Wilt Chamberlain and Michael Jordan are two of the most successful players of all time. Both players are physical specimens with incredible numbers. They both ended their careers with the same scoring average – 30.1 points per game.

Wilt Chamberlain's 1961-62 season is considered the greatest individual season of all time. Chamberlain averaged 50.4 points and 25.7 rebounds a game. Wilt would bet on himself against Michael Jordan in their prime. Michael is the more popular choice for the GOAT title. He is also no slouch in terms of confidence. Michael and Wilber are in a competition in all departments.

Jordan and Wilt argued about their GOAT status at the NBA's 50th anniversary ceremony. Wilmer believes Jordan had it easy because of his contributions to the game. The GOT debate will continue even though Wilts is no longer with us. He is still a legend. The debate is ongoing.
