Wilt Chamberlain is one of the most dominant players in NBA history. A brief look at Chamberlain’s numbers alone shows just how incredible he was. Chamberlain’s legacy is solidified as one of the most sensational players with ridiculous numbers. But Chamberlain’s dominance was downright painful.
During a game, Wilt Chamberlain dunked the ball so hard, that he actually broke the toe of another player. Johnny Kerr, the player in question, was allegedly so embarrassed about the incident, that he feigned a fall to get off the court from that injury.
Kerr wrote in Tell Tales, “Once Wilt got upset with me and dunked the ball so hard that it went through the rim with such force. That it broke my toe as it hit the floor”.
Billy Cunningham added, “Johnny was embarrassed to let everyone know that he got a broken toe from one of Wilt’s dunks, so he went down to the other end of the court, acted as if he tripped, grabbed his toe, and went out of the game.”

Wilt Chamberlain was such a physical specimen that his dominance is almost unsurprising. But in actuality, Chamberlain was not just huge, but also incredibly talented. His ability to score the basketball and have his way with his opponents is unrivaled.
Wilt Chamberlain Was Spectacular
Wilt Chamberlain will be remembered as one of the greatest scorers in NBA history. However, a big negative associated with Chamberlain was his lack of championship success compared to his rival, Bill Russell. However, Chamberlain claimed that the narrative of Russell being the better winner didn’t bother him.
Some of Chamberlain’s records will never be broken, including his 100 points in a single game. Regardless of Chamberlain’s low number of championships won, his records alone will make sure he will never be forgotten.
