Aside from his stats, there's the additional confusion about how strong he was. Since Wilt is a chronic exaggerator (20k women) you can't just believe him, but there's moderate corroborating evidence that he was at the very least stupidly strong, if not inhumanly strong.
Do some youtube searching and you'll see what I mean. It was an era of limited video evidence, so it's not super satisfying, but enough to make you really think about it.
That's right. Fortunately, he was an exhibitionist in addition to being an exaggerator, so there are lots of wild accounts of him showing off his strength, speed, and leaping.
I prefer the pseudo-mythical status of Wilt, over just having a bunch of documented combine numbers to reference.
