Wilt Chamberlain has had a significant impact that has continued on to now and will for future generations to come. His
lasting significance impacted every single player that played basketball, mainly centers. Not all of his rule changes were based
solely on what attributes centers can do, like offensive goal tending, because anybody in the NBA can goal tend. Wilt forced
everyone who played basketball to change the way they played because all the rule changes made the players adjust how they
played, as well as coaches rethink how they plan for the games. He made every level of basketball change, from Hotshots, all
the way to the NBA. Players don’t have to be 7’2” tall to stand in the key for three seconds. His game play and rule changes
have forever changed the way basketball is played.
