“Who is the greatest player of all time?” asked Chamberlain’s longtime friend and fellow Philadelphia native Sonny Hill, who grew up playing against Chamberlain in church leagues and high school before becoming the founder of the Baker League, a summer pro league in Philly, and a pioneering Black broadcaster for CBS Sports in the early 1970s. “It didn’t say, ‘Who is the greatest winner of all time?’” Hill said. “You never hear that phrase. Well, if you’re saying, ‘Who is the greatest player of all time?’ and the man, to this era today — at one time, he controlled over 100 records in the record book. Right now, he controls somewhere around 35. And still, nobody can even get close to it. So if you’re saying ‘Who was the greatest player?’ you have to say Wilt Chamberlain, based just on his accomplishments.”
