An excerpt from the book:
Wherever you go, and no matter what culture is concerned, legends, mythologies, and folk tales always say that giants once walked the face of the earth. These giants, as the stories would say, struck terror into the hearts of ordinary folks and were often critical pieces in the establishment of civilizations and numerous cultures and traditions.
While giants are most often confined to the realm of legends and stories, the same cannot be said about the NBA. The NBA has seen its share of giants throughout its long history. These giants have paved the way for the improvement and evolution of the game of basketball. Giants such as Shaquille O'Neal, David Robinson, and Yao Ming are among the most prominent big men the league has ever seen, but they might not have made it into the league if it were not for arguably the NBA's most legendary gigantic figure. That man was Wilt Chamberlain.
Wilt Chamberlain was a giant among men, if there was a term to describe him. Back in the day when the average height of the NBA was merely about 6'5" during the 1960's and when centers were barely 6'10" and power forwards were 6'6", Chamberlain was a towering figure and had earned the nickname "Wilt the Stilt" because of such. But height was not Wilt Chamberlain's best feature.
