20,000 seems awfully high for any man, much less a rabbit :wink: , however in Wilt's case it might be low....the man had a way and an aura about him around women that was pretty unbelievable. Babe magnet from hell....

There were 15-20 of them, just hanging all over him. Also met one of his most famous neighbors during this same visit...Farrah Fawcett. Thought I had died and gone to heaven because I was in love with Farrah at the time as many males were, but she was not even the best looking one there...most famous for sure though....
Dude, that is wild! That's an awesome story.

Thanks. I feel very lucky to have known Wilt. This may come as a shock to many, but he was a regular guy in person (unless you were from the media). I got to know Wilt on a 1979 trip to Taiwan with a number of top US Track and Field athletes (Renaldo Nehemiah, Edwin Moses, Earl Bell, Billy Olsen, etc..). We were brought over to compete in the 1979 Asian Games (Taiwan's National Track Meet). We picked up Wilt in Honolulu on the way where he owned numerous restaurants and had sizable real estate holdings. When we got to Taiwan, Wilt went everywhere we went, even downtown. It was hilarious to see the reaction of the Taiwanese people as he walked by on the street, However, many Taiwanese recognized him and asked for a photograph. He was gracious and polite and accepted EVERY request.

We were in Taiwan for a full week. When it came time to compete in the stadium, I was surprised to see Wilt in the athlete entrance area. I asked if he was allowed on the field and he said yes. Then he asked if it was okay if he watched me compete. I told him it would be an honor. So not only did he watch me compete and watched my bag with my shotput and discus, he actually shagged both of them during warmups and watched every throw. I was blown away. He told me T&F was his favorite sport right up there with Volleyball. Basketball was a distant 3rd.

Once I finished competing, he and I went to watch the others competing in the field events. He even offered to carry my shot put, which I thanked him but declined.

I shorten the ending up here as I am way off topic, but the day before we were supposed to leave for the US, I got a phone call from home saying my grandfather had passed away. I made arrangements to leave that day and when I get to the airport, Wilt is in line to get his boarding pass. He looks around while in line and spots me in line. He signals for me to come up with him. I did and he told me he hates to fly alone, especially on long trips. Asked me if it was okay if he bumped me up to First Class to sit next to him. I think we all know the answer. Flew to Tokyo Narita where we were told the flight to Honolulu would be delayed from 9 PM that evening to 7AM the following day to replace an engine. Wilt was PISSED. Since the nearest hotel vacancy was 2 hours away, we had to find a way to sleep at the airport. We ended up sleeping on the floor of the terminal about 6 feet apart. When I woke up the next AM, it looked like a scene from Gullivers Travels as Wilt was completely surrounded by people hovering over him as he lay on the floor. He woke up and was unfazed and was actually very polite to the people and he signed autographs and accepted photo requests. A TRUE CLASS ACT!

We get to Honolulu and I have an 8 hour layover, so he invites me to come with him in his limo and gives me a tour of his real estate holdings and lunch at one of his restaurants. When he brought me back to the airport in that same limo, he gave me his business card and asked if I was going to be competing in the US Nationals at Walnut Creek coming up that summer. I told him that I had already qualified and would be there. He invited me to stay at his house during the meet and I told him I would do it if my Coach would let me. Coach said okay as long as I was on time to the meet and during this stay is where I got to know Wilt really well, stayed in his mansion with 27 bedrooms (in Bel Air) and was within walking distance (next door) of Farrah Fawcett and eventually met and talked to her during the party at Wilt's home after the meet....yep, it was quite an experience and one I love to share with others.

Sorry for the OT post...I was in a chatty mood this AM....

This has a "60 Minutes" interview with Tiger's No. 1 ball washer, Jim Nantz, written all over it. Legendary milquetoast Nantz will fawn all over Tiger and make him look like a sympathetic figure.

Take care,

If the bimbos keep coming out, at some point, it's going to be a big part of his legacy.

Somewhat like Wilt's 20,000 is the thing a lot of people think of, instead of his 100-point game or his 50-point per game average.

Tiger may break the record for majors but people may say he was able to break that record after going through the adversity of having his dirty laundry aired in public.


Or maybe Elin will break the record for divorce settlement and that will eclipse his golf accomplishments. :P

Rumors are swirling now that one of his bimbos took pictures of Tiger's "driver" while he was sleeping and that Playgirl now has them, but they can't publish them unless they can verify that the pics are actually Tiger.
How exactly do they intend on doing that??? :)

When will it end? This is like when Michael Jackson died and every day for weeks, there are new developements.

Hard to believe this whole crazy train was set in motion by hitting a tree.

Thanks fellas...enjoyed sharing it! I have been very fortunate to have met a number of celebs and all of my encounters have been good ones....just wish I could go back to August 2007 when I met Tiger...instead of shaking his hand I would have shaken him up and asked him "are you f***in nuts? Put your Johnson back where it belongs and focus on your Faith, Family, and Golf....."

Great story about Wilt, Divot, glad you shared it.

I'm really astonished at how careless Tiger was. You would think in this digital, social-media age, people would learn to be more careful, not less.

Any women who is going to repeatedly f*** a known married man is willing to do almost anything in the sack. so while I don't excuse what he did that is probably what he is thinking.

You never f***ed and ugly girl in college because she let you do nasty s*** to her?

I've been with some girls who aren't a 10, sure. I'm not worth hundreds of millions of dollars, or look like a guy out of GQ. Most average guys would be happy with any of the women on this list, I just think that one especially stands out. Tiger woods has the money to "get" all but the most loyal or high moral women. It just seems like she sticks out like a sore thumb. Not only that, but that pic of her is obviously some sort of "modeling" shot, so I can only imagine how she'd look at 6am without makeup on, morning breath and bed hair. :oops: If I was Tiger, and I wanted to cheat on my wife, I would not see the risk/reward to be worth it just for some average sloar who is down for whatever. If he wants that, he could get a high end hooker like Hugh Grant and get his kicks that way.
