Shaquille O'Neal could have easily mirrored Wilt Chamberlain's #s in that era

Do you want me to post centers and their heights and weights from that era or are you to lazy to do that for yourself

at you using chasing23 as your source of basketball information and acting like

Bob Lanier
Nate Thurmond
Walt Bellamy
Young Kareem
Bill Russell
Bob McAdoo
and Dave Cowens

were just some run of the mill scrubs

I don't get this plug and chug shyt with players and eras anyways without taking into account how the game has changed over the years

Like here's a fun fact:
The crossover's done by MJ, Kobe, Iverson and many of the modern players today were illegal back in Wilt's era (back when carrying was still being called consistently and palming was illegal). The NBA realized that it sold seats and started allowing the superstars to do it.

That's why you don't see these "unathletic cac scrubs" doing crossovers or being able do do fancy moves with their off hand.

Nate Thurmond was ripped

I think Tim Hardaway spoke on it when Iverson got mad he was getting caled for carrying.



Edit: if you look how modern players just dribble to ball down the court you could honestly call a carry/palming violation 70% of the time

Wilt was still larger than those players of the past. His stats are still inflated. and Shaq would have beasted in the 1960's on a whole nother level. But I conceded already that Wilt>>>Shaq

I gracefully bow out of this discussion in defeat.

Good Evening gentlemen.

yep especially towards the mid-late end of his career. Him and Shaq were one of a kind players that had the mobility and agility to do what they did. Wilt was more athletic than Shaq, but Shaq was incredibly nimble for his size as well. Other players had the height but couldn't move as well as these two. Not many were as heavy as these two either.
