Wilt Chamberlain's ultimatum to Lakers coach Bill Sharman

Wilt Chamberlain is one of the greatest players of all time. Despite not having enough rings to prove it, he was one of the most dominant players since he entered the NBA. He reached his primer when he joined the Lakers in 1968. However, it seems that he had some problems with his head coach Bill Sharman.

Wilt Chamberlain dominated the league since his rookie season with the e Philadelphia Warriors. He posted 37.6 points per game, and 27 rebounds a game in 72 games he played. The next year he followed it by winning the MVP.

His dominance came not only from his game but also from his physic. The center's height was 7 foot 1 inch, weighing 275 pounds. He reportedly could bench 500lbs while having a 48-inch vertical. IT almost seemed that he didn't need to train too much to be great at basketball.

Bill Sharman and Wilt Chamberlain got to the Lakers in the same years but with different philosophies as the former Celtics coach implemented extensive conditioning, and most importantly, morning shoot-around, and the center knew he really needed to play the games.
