Shaq Top 50 CBB Plays

For as much as Shaq’s known for his size and power, his feel, touch, and timing were all insanely elite as well. If Shaq was born today, they would turn him into some ultimate version of KD. Dude was the most dominant force in American sports history.

His quickness in college, particularly for a big man, was astounding.

As much as I love Shaq, I think that is probably Wilt Chamberlain.

Shaq to the Raq-All I got

Shaq was every bit as quick and 50+ lbs heavier than Wilt, at least during his Orlando days. He slowed A BIT, but probably had 100 lbs on Wilt after he left the Magic.
He would have stuffed the basketball AND Wilt into the hoop.

Don't even get me started on all those 6-7 honkies Wilt dunked over in the sixties and early seventies. There were a grand total of THREE quality big men who played during Wilt's era, and at least one of them (Russell) wasn't even a seven footer. When Shaq played, EVERY TEAM had MULTIPLE seven footers on the roster.

Now we can debate that if Wilt had grown up when Shaq did, he would have trained better, eaten better, etc..
But strictly moving Wilt in his prime into Shaq's era in his prime, Shaq dominates Wilt.

Some folks just can't enjoy a positive memory without interjecting negativity.

Dude, your post is filled will a whole lot of myth.

First, Wilt was the superior athlete. Do your research and you'll understand just what a specimen Wilt was. Look up his track & field exploits.

Second, your assumption every team had multiple seven footers is false. Rewatch the video and tell me how many black seven footers he was dunking on since you brought up honkies. Get a pen and paper and write down the number of "honkies" Shaq dunked on in the vid. The average height at center vs Shaq was 6'11". Against Wilt was 6'10".

Hakeem was barely 6'10". Head to Head, Shaq outscored him by 1.9 points per game. Hakeem had more blocks and assist. I bring this up because I'll bet you didn't know Wilt led the NBA in assist one season.

And the argument Russell was better is a huge myth. Head to head, Wilt averaged 29.9 points and 28.1 rebounds against Russell, who averaged 14.2 points and 22.9 rebounds respectively against Chamberlain.

I am a huge Shaw fan, but Wilt was unbelievably athletic.
