Make room lol we already have room for maybe 1 or 2 more people

What skews wilt's dominance is the fact that the league in his day had a handful of 7 footers. When Shaq played, every team had ONE OR TWO 7 footers. Shaq would have averaged 60 and 30 some years back then. The icing on the cake is prime Shaq MOVED like a 6-6 guy!!!!

You don’t have a fricking clue about what the league was then. A guy like him getting kidney punches and other issues I won’t go into.

Let’s get real, you are saying Wilt would be the same size today as he was the 60’s? Shaq’s best playing came when he was about 305 at seasons end. Not 330. When Shaq was in Orlando he was a great rebounder and shot blocker and decent scorer? Wanna guess what his playing weight was? 280.

When his weight went up, he was slow with little movement and Wilt would have killed him with quickness and swatted his shite more than what you saw Yao and others do that was his size.

Did you ever think that maybe what Wilt would have looked like if he would have had all those supplements and diet plans and personal trainers as the guys? They didnt have that in the 50’s and 60’s?

Then put Wilt in the 90’s and you think he would have stayed at 275 would be 275?

You can’t because like every other

too bad you don't know as much about spelling elementary words as you know about NBA history.

Hakeem was well out of his prime

But Shaq hadn't quite reached his...

that’s a bias thing to look at because a lot of those games happened when Hakeem was well out of his prime and a shell of himself

no different than comparing Shaq before his prime.

We need another big

Wilt was faster, bigger, stronger, and jumped higher. I love Shaq, but be careful here.



Note Wilt’s 4.6 40! ?????? The idea that shaq moves better is just wrong.

Now in this last length note his bench press and track accomplishments:

Fair enough. Sorry, just hard to leave some things alone.

Stronger? Are you nuts. There is nobody in NBA history that could compete with shock in his 3 best years. He was just too big and strong. Nobody has been close. He was about 325 and mostly muscle.

Wilt in his prime was not more than about 290.

Yes stronger. Read my link. Wilt benched more in his 50s than Shaq in his prime. He was also taller. He also was a lot lot faster.

That’s the point, I’m dispelling your misconceptions. Shaq is my second favorite player ever behind MJ, but people really don’t understand how phenomenal Wilt was. He once took Kareem’s sky hook out of mid air. He was like a basketball Bo Jackson.
