NBA what-ifs not discussed enough

6. While I'm A Huge Admirer Of Wilt...

...your post is full of unsupported myths.
Nothing in the Kansas or conference record books supports the 50' triple jump claim, nor the 6'6" high jump.
His HS achievements are even more exaggerated.
He claimed, and it was reported as fact, that he had a 48" standing vertical. Yet, there are exactly zero photographs from college or the pros that has his adam's apple at the rim, which would happen with a 7'2" guy.
His great athleticism, especially for a guy his size has lent itself to these exaggerated claims. And people buy into it because his was such a uniquely gifted athlete.
This link gives a comparison of the myth with the real number.
There are plenty more similar cites out there, but I'm only linking one.

Finally, I played in the late sixties through the early 70s. The traveling rule was not called, even then. As strictly as you suggest. Now, do I think the Eurostep is a travel? Yes. The current rule doesn't allow for 3 full steps. More like 2½. The Eurostep can only barely be done without 3 full steps. On this we agree. But, even today, a 2nd full step on a post move us called a travel. It's more the perimeter where the 2½ is allowed.
