Wilt left college early but in those days you weren't allowed to enter the NBA early. So he played for the Harlem Globetrotters for a year. Ironically, he made money playing for the Globetrotters than in his rookie NBA contract
I was fortunate to have obtained autographs from each of them, both in the 1970s. Separate games, but I recall Chamberlin had 3 women , all of whom looked like they were only 5 foot tall, hanging on him while he was giving autographs.

I started watching basketball around 1982 thus never got a chance to see Chamberlain play and saw a lot of Kareem but not necessarily in his prime.

Kareem is Alcindor. They were both incredible centers - and well beyond anything seen before their time in the NBA.
What impresses me is the level of Chamberlain's play - and his ability to fuck so many women! That dude never slowed down!

Kareem is also Roger Murdock, airline pilot.

^^^ That's right, I forgot about that! I wonder what his schtik was as a Globetrotter?

He could slam dunk while a groupie straddled him. He couldn't allow much down time on his quest for 20,000.
