I read a while ago that wilt would actually yell at his teammates if they took a dribble and he wouldn’t get an assist
Both the positive and negative about Wilt need a block of salt.
People still quote Rick Barry for slamming Wilt and don't know about the full retraction he issued. One guy claims Wilt scooped him up on a dunk attempt and sat him on the rim...folklore. Wilt yelling at most anybody seems out of character.
I was with you until this bit -
How can you reasonably discern what is or isn't out of character for him?
There is a story from kareem where him and wilt are in an elevator with another guy and the guy asks wilt how's the weather up there and wilt spits on the guy and says it's raining.
