When we posted the YouTube Gold about young Wilt Chamberlain the other day, our plan was to do a series on young big men captured as young players and/or as they began to become dominant players.
After doing that though we thought it would be better to expand that concept to the emergence of great players. Some, like Lew Alcindor, now Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, were widely anticipated. Some, like Larry Bird, seemed to come out of nowhere.
We may be seeing one of those emergences now with Zion OMG Williamson rising.
It’s an amazing experience and having a bit of historical perspective is good.
