How good was Wilt Chamberlain?

Well, first of all, watch this LINK for a video of his defensive highlights, setting aside his unbelievable offensive numbers. Second, consider that in the 1967-68 season, he averaged 8.6 assists per game - not a stat you usually associate with high-scoring centers. To put that in perspective, this current NBA season, that number would be third in the league, behind only a couple of point guards. Some folks said Wilt could only dunk the ball and block shots - but you don't dish out that many assists by dunking. Would he be dominant today? Who are you kidding! Look at this video and decide for yourself.
