Nobody has ever been the defensive presence he was, he blocked shots and kept possession of them all the time. Love the argument but he is my (and Bill Walton among others) GOAT. All these guy could easily be your GOAT. Russell is mine because I was a kid when he was in his prime and I loved the man’s game.

This disparaging comment reeks of anti-Chamberlain bias.
Chamberlain played 2 years of college basketball at Kansas. Freshman could not play Varsity back then, and he bypassed his senior season to play for the Harlem Globetrotters. In his first college season, Chamberlain single-handedly took a Kansas team to the national title game before losing in Triple-Overtime to North Carolina.
The vast majority of Naismith Basketball Hall-of-Famers "won shit" in college, if "shit" is winning a national championship ...... Julius Erving "won shit" in college. Hakeem Olajuwon "won shit" in college. Shaquille O’Neal "won shit" in college. Oscar Robertson "won shit" in college. Jerry West "won shit" in college. Elgin Baylor "won shit" in college.
