Wilt Chamberlain was one of the bigger guys in his playing days at 7 feet 1 inch. Wilt played for Kansas in college and in his first game scored 52 points and 31 rebounds. During his college career he was 2 time all-american and decided to leave after his junior year. Due to NBA restrictions Chamberlain decided to join the Harlem Globetrotters for a year. He made his NBA debut in 1959 for the Philadelphia Warriors who would later move to San Francisco. Chamberlain was known for his production on the court averaging 37.6 points per game and 27 rebounds per game during his first season. He would have a game for the ages scoring 100 points in 1962, which is still a record today for most points scored in a game.  Bill Russell became a rival of Wilt's during his playing days with Russell excelling at the defensive end as they had some intense battles. He played 5 and half seasons with the Warriors before being traded to the Philadelphia 76ers in 1965. While playing for the 76ers he would meet the Boston Celtics every year beating them once ending their 8 consecutive NBA Title streak. He would get to the NBA Finals in 1967 where he faced off against his old team the San Francisco Warriors. They would go on to win the NBA Championship with Wilt averaging 18 points per game and 29 rebounds per game. In 1968 Wilt would get traded to the Los Angeles Lakers and join a team that included "The Logo" Jerry West. During his tenure with the Lakers he would pick up his second NBA Title. He played his last game in the NBA in 1973 ending his 14 year career. Wilt was a stat machine during his playing days averaging 30 points per game and 22 rebounds. but does only stats make you the G.O.A.T?
