I dont think the average person can really appreciate exactly how big of a man he is... I see him in movies and compare him to stuff in the scenes hes in and its crazy when you compare him to stuff we all know in real life... when he was playing he was running around with other huge humans which really diminished how much bigger than the rest of us he really is.
Yes very true, I saw him in person against the Lakers when he was a rookie, just a humungous man even amongst the other NBA players.

i wish i could have seen Chamberlain play in his prime... that had to be something.

I have a good friend who played pro basketball overseas, he’s 6’11” and i sometimes forget just how big he is until we go out somewhere and everyone stares at him. When we walk side by side my wife says it’s like a dad walking his middle school kid.
