It’s funny you guys don’t know. He was a track star. He’s also in the volleyball hof.
Wilt was fast
Wilt was at a party with legendary NFL running back Jim Brown when they got into an argument about who is faster. So they did what any two athletes would do and they went outside, took their shoes off and raced. Wilt won. Jim was mad and raced Wilt again. Wilt won again.
Here are tangibles, not a story. As a Kansas track and field athlete, Wilt ran a sub-eleven second 100m, a forty-nine second 400m in “baggy sweats”, and a 1:58.3 second 800m. All while being a 7’1” Goliath of a man.

Wilt just looked fast because he played against inferior talent.
See if you can find a video of LA vs Milwauke first game. First game Jabber scored fifty vs Chamberlain. Every game after that Wilt would put his hand on Jabber's hip. Each time Jabber shot his sky hook, Chamberlin would give him a stiff arm shot on his hip.
Chamberlin at 350 lbs and Jabber much more slender, this had an effect.
NBA is an entertainment not a sport, so they decided not to call a foul.
