The only source that says that Wilt's creator was male is Wikipedia.com, and we all know how reliable THAT is! The summary on Cartoon Network does not mention the gender of Wilt's creator at all. The Wikipedia summary is mere speculation, with no more grounds of reality than what any of us can come up with, myself included, and is based on the incorrect notion that only boys can be into sports, like basketball. That is simply untrue. While we've seen no overt evidence that Mac's mom was into basketball as a kid, we have also seen nothing to suggest that she WASN'T. As an adult, her priorities no doubt have changed greatly, especially with two boys to care for, rent to pay, and a career. There are many girls who love basketball and become quite obsessed with basketball players. For that matter, it's just as much speculation to assume that Wilt's creator was fond of basketball, though it's a very logical conclusion. What would we assume about BLOO'S creator, if we did not know Mac? Or of Red's creator, if we did not know Terrence? Those assumptions, based on what we see in the Imaginary Friends in question, would probably be totally wrong, wouldn't they? Wilt could just has well simply turned out with a fondness and natural ability in basketball, regardless of his creator's interests, just as Red had that fondness for flowers not shared with HIS creator.
