“Bob Dandridge Says Wilt Chamberlain Is the Undisputed GOAT: ‘He Dominated the Game Like It Was Nothing — He Should Be the Logo'”
NBA legend Bob Dandridge isn’t shy when it comes to talking basketball history — especially when the conversation turns to the Greatest of All Time. In a recent interview that’s making waves among basketball purists, the four-time All-Star and two-time NBA champion didn’t hesitate when asked about the GOAT debate.
“Who has the most 60-point games? Wilt. Who has the most 50-point games? Wilt. He is the greatest,” Dandridge said with firm conviction. “He dominated the game like it was nothing — like nobody else ever has. He’s definitely the GOAT.”
While debates continue to rage on between fans of Michael Jordan, LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, and others, Dandridge turned the spotlight back to the original titan of the hardwood — Wilt Chamberlain. And he didn’t stop there.
“Wilt should be the logo of the NBA,” Dandridge added. “No disrespect to Jerry [West], but if we’re talking about the most unstoppable force this league has ever seen — it’s Wilt. Hands down.”
Dandridge placed particular emphasis on Wilt’s legendary 1961-1962 season, arguably the most statistically dominant campaign in NBA history. That year, Chamberlain averaged a mind-bending 50.4 points and 25.7 rebounds per game — numbers so outrageous they often feel mythical.
“To average 50 a game for a season? That’s not basketball — that’s something from another planet,” Dandridge said. “We played the same sport, but Wilt was doing things nobody could understand. People forget what he really did.”
Wilt’s 100-point game on March 2, 1962, remains the single greatest scoring performance in NBA history. But it was only a part of a year in which he scored 60 or more points 15 times, and 50 or more an astounding 45 times — both records that still stand decades later.
Dandridge, who faced Chamberlain during the later part of Wilt’s career, has long respected the dominance of the 7’1″ giant. But in today’s era, where the GOAT conversation often overlooks Chamberlain, he felt the need to speak up.
“This generation talks about who could’ve done what, but Wilt did it,” Dandridge concluded. “He set the bar so high, nobody’s even come close. If he played today, he’d be putting up the same numbers — maybe more.”
As the GOAT debate continues to evolve, Dandridge’s perspective offers a reminder: before the highlight reels and social media clips, there was a man who made the game his playground — and his name was Wilt Chamberlain.
