Podcasts about Wilt Chamberlain

On this episode, Bob Ryan and Gary Tanguay reminisce about the legendary Wilt Chamberlain. Bob tells the story of Wilt's fallout with Lakers head coach Butch van Breda Kolff in 1969, which could have cost the Lakers a championship. He then recalls the famous series vs the Knicks in the 1970 Finals, where Willis Reed famously returned from injury for Game 7 and fired up the Madison Square Garden faithful who saw their team win the championship for the first time, thanks to an incredible performance from Walt Frazier. Finally, Bob and Gary remember Wilt as a person, including his relationship with Bill Russell. The Bob Ryan & Jeff Goodman NBA Podcast on CLNS is Powered by: 

Mitchell Robinson's broken right pinky has Knicks fans anxious, and Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber dig into what the injury could mean with the NBA Finals looming. With Robinson expected to play after surgery while wearing a brace, the big question is how much the injury will affect his pain tolerance, rebounding, lob catching, rim protection, and overall confidence. The conversation also turns to Robinson's brutal free throw struggles and whether this is the moment to try something drastic, including the underhanded “granny shot.” Evan and Tiki debate Rick Barry, Wilt Chamberlain, Ronnie Lott, and the difference between football and basketball toughness while weighing whether Robinson can remain a true X factor for the Knicks.

Mitchell Robinson's broken right pinky sends Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber into full Knicks survival mode as they debate how much the injury could affect his role in the NBA Finals.

Evan also makes the case for Robinson trying underhand free throws, sparking a lively debate about Rick Barry, Wilt Chamberlain, confidence, perception, and the awkward reality of “Hack a Mitch.” The hour expands into classic sports radio territory with Ronnie Lott, Mordecai “Three Finger” Brown, whether fans would sacrifice a pinky for a championship, and a brutally honest parenting conversation about kids dreaming of the pros.

He is one of basketball's towering figures: "Mr. Clutch," who mesmerized his opponents and fans. The coach who began the Lakers' resurgence in the 1970s. The general manager who helped bring "Showtime" to Los Angeles, creating a championship-winning force that continues to this day. Now, for the first time, the legendary Jerry West tells his story -- from his tough childhood in West Virginia, to his unbelievable college success at West Virginia University, his 40-year career with the Los Angeles Lakers, and his relationships with NBA legends like Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson, Shaquille O'Neal, and Kobe Bryant. Unsparing in its self-assessment and honesty, West by West: My Charmed, Tormented Life (Little, Brown and Co, 2011) is far more than a sports memoir: it is a profound confession and a magnificent inspiration. Paul Knepper covered the New York Knicks for Bleacher Report. His first book was The Knicks of the Nineties: Ewing, Oakley, Starks and the Brawlers That Almost Won It All. His next book, Moses Malone: The Life of a Basketball Prophet, is now available. You can reach Paul at paulknepper@gmail.com and follow him on Twitter @paulieknep. Learn more about your ad choices.

Last year, Shayla Smith broke Philadelphia's all-time scoring record for girls and boys basketball. That's a huge deal, especially in Philly — a city known for basketball legends like WNBA guard Shawnetta Stewart, South Carolina coach Dawn Staley, and NBA Hall of Famer Wilt Chamberlain. None of them scored as many points in high school as Shayla did.We sat down with Shayla and her coach, Kevin Slaughter, to hear how she became a high school phenom and changed the reputation of her high school's basketball program. We'll find out what it takes to score more points than anyone who came before her, and how Shayla enters a flow state on the court — and makes it look easy. We'll also talk to Coach Jackie Johnston, known on social media for her obsession with women's sports, to talk through what to expect at the NCAA finals this weekend.Show Notes Shayla Smith guides her team to Philadelphia Public League Championship | Rare Footage Sports High school basketball star Shayla Smith hopes to become first WNBA player to wear hijab | CBS Philadelphia Penn State Commit Shayla Smith Imhotep Charter Highlights | Rare Footage Sports Shayla Smith Penn State Player Profile | ESPN Follow Coach Jackie on TikTok Show CreditsExecutive Producers: Tom Grahsler and Joan IsabellaSenior Producer: Michael OlcottProducer: Michaela WinbergAssociate Producer: Bibiana CorreaEngineer: Mike VillersTalent Booker: Britt KahnTile Art: Bea WallingSports in America is a production of WHYY, distributed by PRX, and part of the NPR podcast network.

Jim's documentary Philly Hoops is available on DVD through Amazon.com as well as MovieZyng.com. Photo of Wilt Chamberlain by Paul Vathis and courtesy Wirephoto Archives.

Evan responds to comments from Mike Francesa criticizing anyone who questions Wilt Chamberlain's legendary 100-point game. Evan makes it clear he isn't attacking Wilt's greatness—he calls him one of the most dominant players in basketball history—but instead argues that the specific circumstances of the game itself were manipulated and shouldn't be viewed the same as other historic performances. To support the point, Evan cites research, past reporting, and even comments from players who were in the game, arguing that the final stretch was artificially engineered to reach 100 points. The segment turns into a broader debate about how sports history gets remembered, whether context matters when evaluating records, and why criticizing a single moment isn't the same as disrespecting an all-time legend.

The conversation starts with Kyler Murray's old tweets and the question of whether having multiple favorite teams makes him a “fraud,” then quickly expands into NFL draft philosophy, Jets and Giants futures, and the strange loyalty rules fans build around their teams. The biggest flashpoint is a spirited back-and-forth over Wilt Chamberlain's 100-point game, sparked by Mike Francesa's defense of Wilt and Evan's argument that the game itself was a farce, not Wilt's greatness. From there, the show moves into WFAN archive reactions to Team USA's World Baseball Classic win, Hall of Fame plaque debates involving Jim Leland and Andre Dawson, and an extended rant about NBA tanking, manipulated stat-chasing, and whether fans are being cheated by teams that are not even trying to compete.

Team USA manager Mark DeRosa finds himself under the microscope after controversial comments about the World Baseball Classic standings, and the attempt to clarify only seems to make things worse. The crew breaks down how the narrative around Team USA's path to the quarterfinals spiraled, why DeRosa's explanations aren't landing, and how roster “guardrails” from MLB teams could complicate the United States' quest for another WBC title. Later, the conversation shifts from international baseball to one of basketball's most debated moments: Wilt Chamberlain's legendary 100-point game. Is it untouchable greatness, or is there a legitimate argument about the unusual circumstances surrounding that night in Hershey? Plus, a caller controversy erupts after a listener is accused of stealing a Jets strategy idea, sparking a hilarious on-air debate about originality, credit, and sports radio etiquette.
