2. Wilt "The Stilt" Chamberlin
One season the man averaged 50.4pts and 25.7 rebounds/game and that's the best they could do?!

9. He picked up that one in high school
in reference to him always having to "dip" in doorways, etc. It was his actual nickname; friends and family called him "Dip" or "Dippy."
