Pretty cool work trying to come up with this estimate.
Wilt's numbers seem unbelievable but, like some of his other stats, it's mostly that he blocked shots at an elite rate for more minutes per game than any other player.

not as interesting as the number of women he slept with - that's a very big number and also incredibly hard to estimate
I’d also be interested in seeing someone try to figure that out
There's a rough calculation where in one week he used a checkbook to track how many women he slept with on a trip, and it was 2.3 per day, and then that extrapolated out to being ~20,000 over his lifetime.
Could this be why people have gotten taller over time?

I’ve certainly wondered if it’s related to how many more super athletic tall guys there are
I just learned today that Wilt only won 2 championships. I found that surprising.
One more than your entire country and in half the time.
Wilt was far more dominant that all of Canada combined.
