The NBA world has seen quite a few physical anomalies. Whether it be Magic Johnson, Shaquille O’Neal, or a modern Victor Wembanyama, a physical specimen that transcends the mold has been around. Yet, almost none of them have had the statistical impact of Wilt Chamberlain. A star for the Golden State Warriors and the Los Angeles Lakers in the 60s and 70s, Wilt was one-of-a-kind. But, due to the nature of the sport, and the media surrounding it, much of his life remains a mystery. However, Showtime is releasing a documentary on The Stilt and it already has a fan in a Boston Celtics legend.

Chamberlain dominated the game like few others have, and he had numbers to back up that claim. The 7’1 giant moved around the court like a forward and was one of the most athletic players of all time.

Former NBA Champion shows love to Wilt Chamberlain documentary

The NBA record books are an autobiography of Wilt Chamberlain. While the statement sounds hyperbolic, looking at the numbers makes it kind of hard to argue. Whether you look at his 50 PPG season, or the mythical 100-point game, he has done it all.

Yet, very little footage exists of the man and his playing career. As a result, the documentary offers a unique outlook into the lives of one of the game’s greatest. Titled Goliath, the documentary is coming to Paramount Pictures.

A Showtime production, it promises to be the definitive story about Wilt. Celtics legend, Kevin Garnett, is on board with the idea and was hyping up the announcement on his IG story. Crowning it “THE BEST WILT DOC ON,” he urged fans to check the piece out.

Premiering on July 14th, the doc promises to give a unique perspective on the legend of Chamberlain. From his relationship claims to the underwhelming postseason runs, fans will get a closer look at the legend. “I keep telling y’all… you GOTTA CHECK THIS ONE OUT!!” The documentary definitely has a fan in KG.

One of the greatest leaders in the game, KG’s basketball-related opinions are always valuable. Just ask the new NBA Champion, Jeff Green.

Kevin Garnett inspired Green to be a better leader

Jeff Green’s story is one of miracles. Yet, for all of his hard work and determination, Uncle Jeff was always a quiet individual. Throughout his years in Boston, as teammates with The Big Ticket, Jeff remained the silent type.

However, Garnett would constantly prod the journeyman to voice his opinions. While the transition took some time, Green’s vocal leadership became a key component for the Denver Nuggets en route to their 2023 NBA Championship.

Green even credited Garnett for bringing the side out of him. Now, as Jeff goes on to mentor a young Houston Rockets team, perhaps his invaluable experience in their club as well. In the meantime, the summer months for basketball fans have their annual documentary.
