yazar olduğumda türkçe çevirisini de yaparım ama şimdilik burada böyle kalsın. wilt chamberlain'in akıl almaz spor kariyeri. gelmiş geçmiş en özel atletlerden biri.
so off the top of my head a timeline for when he started and finished dominating sports goes something like this:
from the age of 14-16 - wilt dominates track and field starting with city-leagues and what not - sets the pa state shotput record for the 12lb shot (junior size) - sets junior division sprint and 440y and 880y records etc.
dominates overbrook high track team at hj event winning 2 city high jump titles age 16 to 17
dominates philly ymca, overbrook hs, and 2 pro eastern basketball leagues from age 16 to 17.
dominates college track and field winning 2 conference high-jump titles age 19-21
dominates college basketball age 19-21
age 22 becomes a harlem globetrotter at "guard" position - no really they had him play as their guard
dominates pro basketball at nba level age 23-36 and eats up the record book his very first year and doesn't stop until his final year which he simply walked away from - still setting records and being dominant (shot 73% his final season, 4th in mvp votes, finals appearance, etc)
scouted by kansas city chiefs hank stram at age 29 who clocks him with a 4.6 40 despite running barefoot - and with a bodyweight of 290lbs - stram convinced he'd be "greatest ever" receiver - demonstrated his potential and chance to also play pro football - though wilt never follows up with this
dominates pro volleyball age 41 ~ 50? (not sure exactly when he stopped)
got offers to play in the nba until he was 54 years old
after that that's when the domination-like stories taper off, save for strength stories those continue into his 50's but as they say strength is one of the last things that can leave an athlete. not a bad run for making elite levels of a broad range of athletics seem easy.
