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:

Dunking Legend Shawn Kemp - Reign Man Videos
Shawn Kemp a.k.a. the "Reign Man" was an awesome dunk machine back in the good old 1990s.
He was the Seattle SuperSonics' 1989 1st round pick of the NBA draft and - being extremely athletic and talented - quickly proofed to be a great pic.
This is a great feature by ESPN from 1992. Great basketball reporting. Already 20 years old ...
And another Shawn Kemp video with a series of epic slam dunks.

Stern: NBA has negotiated in good faith; season in jeopardy
By Official release

Posted Nov 14 2011 3:29PM
NEW YORK -- NBA Commissioner David Stern has issued the following statement:
"At
a bargaining session in February 2010, Jeffrey Kessler, counsel for the
union, threatened that the players would abandon the collective
bargaining process and start an antitrust lawsuit against our teams if
they did not get a bargaining resolution that was acceptable to them.
"In
anticipation of this day, the NBA filed an unfair labor practice charge
before the National Labor Relations Board asserting that, by virtue of
its continued threats, the union was not bargaining in good faith. We
also began a litigation in federal court in anticipation of this same
bargaining tactic.
"The NBA has negotiated in good faith
throughout the collective bargaining process, but -- because our revised
bargaining proposal was not to its liking -- the union has decided to
make good on Mr. Kessler's threat.
"There will ultimately be a new collective bargaining agreement, but the 2011-12 season is now in jeopardy."

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.

5'7 Spud Webb dunks - at the age of 47!
