I'd like to see some more quality time between him and Jordan, as well, like what they did and talked about whenever they weren't playing basketball.

Yeah, their family life back in the Holy City would be great to see, especially if the writers really took time to research that particular culture, like the food, the local phrases, the landmarks, etc. It's be funny to see Wilt really falling into the role of father/big brother, making sure that Jordan got his homework done and didn't act up in school, in addition to coaching him at b-ball. I would also love to see Jordan's mom and older brother, and see the interaction between them and Wilt. While I figure there might be a tad bit of resentment at first between Wilt and the older bro, I'd bet that Jordan's mom would have thought of Wilt as a family member, if not the "baby" of the family, from the get-go, and treated him like he was her own son, even though an extra mouth to feed would have probably put quite a financial strain on that family. Showing at least a family reunion would not only give us more insight into what Wilt's life was like right after he was created, beyond basketball, but it would also be a good way to showcase the unique Low Country culture, especially if they showed any of the barrier islands, like James Island, where there's still remnants of the real Gullah/Geechee traditions.
