Monday Blogdome: Writer shoots down Wilt Chamberlain's '20,000 women' claim

So Wilt Chamberlain didn’t have sex with 20,000 women? Is there nothing to believe in any more? Well, there’s one thing: Little person strippers (that happens after the jump). Come on in, the blogdome’s fine.
The Lakers Sex Talk Needs A Bit Of Context. Some of his associates doubted his claims. Doug Krikorian: “Complete hyperbole. Trust me. I spent many a Saturday night where Wilt would call me and say, ‘Let’s go out and have dinner together.’ He was the worst guy I’ve ever seen trying to hustle women. I’m serious. That thing should be debunked. Trust me. I saw firsthand. Yes, he might have had his share of women, but as a slick hustler, please. No. I saw too many nights where he was alone. What did he say, 20,000? It’s ridiculous. It’s farcical. Why would he even claim that?” [Laker Noise]


* Jared Allen’s Mullet May Help Him Land on the ‘Madden 11′ Cover. Allen, the Vikings somewhat off-balanced DE, is one of three finalists (along with Drew Brees and Reggie Wayne) to be the face of the next installment of the Madden football franchise. Of the three, Allen probably has the weakest chance of making the cover, but never count out a man sporting the sweetest Kentucky waterfall in the NFL. That’s right, Jared Allen has a plan – and you guessed it, somehow his signature hairstyle is involved. [Last Angry Fan]
* Matt Kemp Hooks Up Midget Stripper For Rihanna. Photo from the Phoenix-area residence where Los Angeles Dodger Matt Kemp threw a birthday party for Rihanna yesterday. Nice to see Kemp finally learned something from Lasorda. [SportsbyBrooks]
* Jayson Werth claims his beard as a dependent. Werth isn’t answering questions about his beard right now — “Am I going to ask about that thing on your neck?” he asked one reporter — but there’s clearly no need for him to address a hairy situation. That thing truly speaks for itself. [Big League Stew]
* Collin Balester’s mustache is incredible. Collin Balester literally already has a top-10 mustache in Major League Baseball, with the potential to go far, far higher, depending on what he chooses to do. I mean, this is within a matter of months, and it’s near-legendary already. [DC Sports Bog]

    Who cares how many out of wed lock affairs he had it don’t do anything for the game of basketball.

    I use to play volleyball on the beach in Santa Monica and trust me, Chamberlain was such a jerk and a cheat he had to start playing elsewhere because none of us would play him anymore. All of us women couldn’t stand him. He once came to one of our beach parties and just stayed in the corner looking “down” on everyone. He had a chip on his shoulder and the guys who were hoping to kiss his ass came away even saying it. As for Werth, did you even stop to think what a beard is? We all know what that is slang for! I wonder if he knows he came out the closet when saying that! haha

  3. patty - Feb 23, 2010 at 10:45 AM

    Everyone but you and Werth seems to know what a “beard” is! Or if he knows he just came out of the closet!

    with the 15 minute fame clock running where are these woman at
    you’d think they would come out of the woodwork to claim a share
    20’000 and no pregs what birth control device was he using?
    At least 3000 would claim pregancy for a few bucks here and there
    and NO ONE was interested in a book deal? or A “Lifetime” movie deal?

    chamberlain was never married

  6. What?! - Feb 23, 2010 at 11:34 AM

    I guess Chamberlain wanted to prove his manhood. Not a good idea, though.

  7. BC - Feb 23, 2010 at 12:23 PM

    Over course 20,000 is far fetched. That would mean he scored with the equivalent of Massapequa, NY. I think that would take a while.

    “You do the math” is a cliched phrase, but apparently nobody in this country is capable of actually doing the math. How about reaching for a calculator? Let’s give it a try.
    If Chamberlain’s claim were true, that would mean he would have to have had sex with a different woman every single day of the year for 54.8 years!
    Sorry, Wilt, nobody’s buying that.

    Actually it’s not that hard. When I was 23, I was dating four women a day, breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a regular night date.. After six months I had to cut down to two a day because of the weight I lost. That’s 1,080 for one year. I don’t know about Chamberlain, but there are a lot of guys out there that were doing this 50 and 60 years ago, especially in the 60s and 70s. I tend to believe him because of his star atatus that would attract a lot of groupies.

  10. Ken - Feb 23, 2010 at 12:39 PM

    C’mon people, do the math! 20000 is roughly 53 years at one woman a night. Or 15 years at 3+ women per night. Figure a few days off for recuperation now and then and you’re looking at 4 women per night. Nobody is that busy. Little Wilt would wilt!

  11. Do The Math - Feb 23, 2010 at 12:47 PM

    Let’s do the math. Wilt says he shafted 20,000 women, let’s say it’s over 15 years at 365 days each year, that’s 5,475 days of 3.65 women each day, without a single day off to recover. At 20 years it’s still 2.74 women each day without a day off. Yo, Wilt, Dude, You Wish! Never married and boasting of excessive sex with women? Hmmmm. F*cking Ponderous.

  12. 53 Years! - Feb 23, 2010 at 12:57 PM

    I’d settle for 53 years of poking my wife once every night!

  13. Marvin C - Feb 23, 2010 at 1:00 PM

    Everyone missed the context When asked, he pulled a number out of the air, which he later acknowledged. Did he do 1,000; easily. So the real number is somewhere between 1,000 and 20,000. Whatever the number, it’s either impressive or discusting; depending on your point of view.

  14. Stevinator - Feb 23, 2010 at 1:07 PM

    I worked at Wilt’s Sports Bar in Boca Raton FL in the late 80′s and early 90′s as an assistant manager. Don’t know about 20,000, but I can tell you there was many a night he left with 2 (pretty to beautiful) women only to return hours later to leave with another. This when the man was in his “declining years”.
    Imagining what his life was like as a young, NBA all-time superstar, I, for one, believe he came close to that 20,000 mark.

  15. Joe - Feb 23, 2010 at 1:15 PM

    Never married… Smartest thing he never did

  16. DongMan - Feb 23, 2010 at 1:27 PM

    Well, I’m 47 and I’ve had over 5000. So, who knows what Wilt did.

  17. Peter in CT - Feb 23, 2010 at 1:31 PM

    The people who want to believe 20,000 women in a lifetime are the same who want to believe that a 100 lb. boy is aloft in a helium balloon that was tied to the ground by a 10 lb brick.

  18. Cam - Feb 23, 2010 at 1:32 PM

    Whether Wilt had sex with thousands of women or not doesn’t really matter to me. He is the greatest basketball player of all time, hands down, no question. All you have to do is look at his stats. This man averaged 50.4 points for an entire season! Rules had to be changed because of him. Inbounding the ball, the lane width, offensive goaltending, staying behind the free throw line, all changed because of him. He could DUNK FREE THROWS!
    He averaged 22.9 rebounds for his career, he has FIVE numbers retired in his honor.
    The man was so incredible, so dominant, it is hard to believe. So maybe he only slept with 2,000 women, not 20,000. He’s still the greatest scorer who lived since Genghis Khan.

  19. rkatk - Feb 23, 2010 at 1:32 PM

    Just look at the math, 20,000 women divided by 365 days a year equals 54.79 years of banging at least women each and every day. B.S.

  20. jimmy - Feb 23, 2010 at 1:38 PM

    He went by the old adage”why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?”. I lived near his sports bar in boca and,i agree ,he got more tail than a zoo keeper.A lot of white women are attracted to a lean tall athlete like wilt.They didnt call him the “stilt” for nothing.

  21. BC - Feb 23, 2010 at 1:41 PM

    I second that. And so does my bank account.

  22. Cam - Feb 23, 2010 at 1:58 PM

    I played in a band where the bass player sometimes did 4 girls a night. This was in a LOCAL band, just playing bars and parties.
    I think they people who are calling B.S. on Wilt are the same sorts of people who outlawed DUNKING FREE THROWS. They just don’t want to believe it was even possible.

  23. robert williams - Feb 23, 2010 at 2:17 PM

    you get what you pay for

  24. jim - Feb 23, 2010 at 2:58 PM

    Wilt has been dead for over 10 years, how about letting this stuff go?

  25. Scott - Feb 23, 2010 at 3:08 PM

    20,000 you say. I say he could not have spent more than 5 minutes with each woman. I guess that is why his name is Wilt.
