Chamberlain is unquestionably a top-three player in NBA history. He was the Shaq and the Kareem of the 1960s and 70s. He was completely unstoppable both offensively and defensively, and is the most dominant player in NBA history.

Wilt was traded to the Lakers from the Philadelphia 76ers prior to the 1969 NBA season, and he was an important piece of the Lakers’ 1972 championship team, one of the best teams ever.

Wilt averaged over 18 rebounds per game in each of his five seasons with the purple and gold, and played on four NBA Finals teams, winning once in 1972.

He played in four All-Star games as a member of the Lakers, and will always be known as one of the best players ever.
