Is Dip (Wilt Chamberlain) the most athletic human of that size of all time?

I think a young LSU Shaq is very comparable to Wilt.

Shaq would do Wilt just like this

This muthafukka didn't block shots...he stole souls.

I'd have been curled up on the bench afterwards like

u see how high he gets? swatting shots 12 and a half feet in the air and outright catching them if they "only" at 12 feet. Says nice try to two Kareem skyhooks :why: :noah: :mindblown:

Kareem prob called injury time out after that

I think the only athletes off the top of my head that you can even compare to Wilt athletically is a Young Shaq, Bron & probably MJ.

Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
In this era he'd probably average 25-28ppg, 14-17rpg, 3bpg and 3apg, easily MVP caliber numbers. I can't see any center breaking the 30ppg threshold in this era with the zone and guards that can't throw entry passes.


However, nobody is tossing around a prime Shaq, in the Wilt vs Shaq debate I think it's overlooked that Shaq's post game and footwork was actually more polished than Wilts. Shaq's game with his back to the basket is really underrated, he's just viewed as some lumbering oaf when the nikka was actually really skilled and had moves/counters for days.

Didn't he do track and field in high school?

Won the big 7 outdoor and big 8 indoor High Jump titles for Kansas University. He competed in high school in a wide variety of events and once in college competed in two (triple jump and high jump). In the video in the OP theres color footage of him doing the triple jump and high jump at KU

Out of any dream match-up, I'd pay to see a prime Shaq and prime Wilt go at it.

Second would be prime Jordan and prime Kobe.
