I just checked a few because I don't have all night. The 1969 Knicks, Sixers and Celtics had ZERO 7 footers.

The 1994 Rockets had 2, the Lakers and Clippers had 3 each.

You claim Hakeem was 6-10. He was listed as 7-0. I think he was 7-5. How about we go with the official roster listing. Also, where did you get the stat that Shaq's defenders averaged 6-11, and Wilt's averaged 6-10? NO WAY IN HELL the centers of Wilt's day averaged 6-10. HOF Wes Unseld was 6-9!!!

Shaq didn't run track, play volleyball, or quidditch. Who says he couldn't?? He was too busy partying, rapping and acting.

You're delusional if you think Wilt faced the same qaulity of player Shaq did.

I love Wilt, but he couldn’t run the fast break like Shaquille Rashaun O’Neal. In fact, Shaq had court awareness like Magic - knowing when and where his teammate would be.

7'5" LMAO. Look at Hakeem standing next to Ewing. Ewing was listed at 7' as well. Ewing is taller. David Robinson is 7'1". Look at him next to Hakeem. He's more than 1" taller than Hakeem.

That would be you who is delusional. When Wilt played there were 119 spots for NBA players. The best 119 players. When Shaq played there were more teams with more openings and the quality of the product was watered down.

Walt Bellamy. Bob Lanier. Nate Thurmond. Kareem. But you keep doing you.

The Hakeem being 7-5 went straight over your head.

We can have a pissing contest for days about who faced better competition, it's all conjecture.


If I took the time (which I won't), picking 2 random years, say 1965 and 1995, I would guess that 1965 had approximately eight 7 footers in the NBA, and 1995 had approximately FORTY 7 footers in the NBA. If you'd like to invest the time and research that, please let me know how off I am on those estimates.
