These giants, as the stories say, struck awe and sometimes fear into the hearts of ordinary folks. They were not just imposing villains but also impactful heroes, and often lauded as critical pieces in the establishment of myriad civilizations, cultures, and traditions. From the Titans in Greek mythology to the stories the Norse pass on to their people, giants have been a part of history. As time passes, it is also true that tales about these giants tend to grow taller and more fanciful in our collective memory. Of course, this is simply human nature. People cannot resist the urge to embellish and exaggerate the details in the telling, and before you know it, the lines between fact and fiction become blurred. It is almost like a game of never-ending, historical telephone, and it sometimes obscures the truth. Did they actually exist at all? Does the reality of their accomplishments match the stories? And, just how big where they really? Did you enjoy this excerpt? If so, be sure to pick up a copy of this basketball biography book on Wilt Chamberlain today!
