Wilt Chamberlain said that Michael Jordan would not be successful in his time and in the 60’s: “He is 6-foot-7 and 197 pounds … It would not be wise for Michael Jordan to play in our age.”

One thing Wilt Chamberlain had to prove was that he was better than the players of his later generations, especially the centers that, in his opinion, could not fit his shoes or Bill Russell. Chamberlain never used words to talk about other players and to prove why he is better than them.
