Wilt Chamberlain and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Highlights Video

Here is another rare video featuring basketball legends Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Wilt Chamberlain. The background music might be a bit cheesy and I am not the biggest fan of the instagram-like filtering, but rare footage on Kareem vs Wilt always deserves to be watched!


If you can't get enough of these two epic legends, I have even more stuff featuring Chamberlain and Jabbar on my blog:

• My favourite video: Wilt Chamberlain vs Kareem Abdul-Jabbar - Two true basketball legends (and also the most read post on this blog)
• Some facts & figures on the two: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar vs Wilt Chamberlain - Some stats
• One of Wilt's best games: Wilt Chamberlain 1972 Game 5 NBA Finals impressive performance
• ... and his epic 100 points: Wilt Chamberlain's 100-point game - Out of reach?

Wilt Chamberlain 1972 Game 5 NBA Finals impressive performance

Wilt Chamberlain is definitely a true basketball legend. Game 5 of the 1972 was epic: The L.A. Lakers defeated the NY Knicks 114-10.

And Wilt Chamberlain scored 24 points and grabbed 29 (sic!) rebounds - despite a broken right hand (injury in Game 4).

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar vs Wilt Chamberlain - Another great video!

If you liked this Kareem vs Wilt video http://great-basketball-videos.blogspot.com/2011/11/wilt-chamberlain-vs-kareem-abdul-jabbar.html (also some more backgrounds on these two basketball legends in that post) you should also watch this amazing video:


Wow. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Wilt Chamberlain really owned the game.

Wilt Chamberlain vs Kareem Abdul-Jabbar - Two true basketball legends

Both Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Wilt Chamberlain are true basketball legends! Both are considered as greatest and most dominant players in the history of the NBA. Cannot really judge which of those two Hall of Famers was better, but I have a slight bias towards Kareem.

Kareem is still all-time leading scorer of the NBA, with amazing 38,387 points. "Ferdinand Lewis Alcindor" won 6 NBA championships and an awesome record 6 regular NBA season MVP Awards during his career at Milwaukee Bucks and the L.A. Lakers from 1969 to 1989. When Abdul-Jabbar retired, he was the NBA's all-time leader in points scored, games played, minutes played, field goals made, field goal attempts, blocked shots, defensive rebounds - and last but not least also personal fouls. Wow.

Wilton Norman "Wilt" Chamberlain on the other holds several official NBA all-time records, e.g. setting records in many scoring, rebounding and durability categories. Most notably: He is the only player in NBA history to average more than 40 and 50 points in a season or score 100 points in a single NBA game. Astonishing. While playing for the Philadelphia/San Francisco Warriors, the Philadelphia 76ers and the Los Angeles Lakers (before he also had fun at the Harlem Globetrotters), Chamberlain won e.g. 2 championships, 4 regular NBA season and one NBA finals MVP award.
