Was Wilt Chamberlain the Strongest Athlete to ever play in the NBA

[010101]

if shaq played in wilt era they would've had tall tales about the kid on some mythological shyt
that was the era before facts/they love to exaggerate
wilt legit but we know for a fact how diesel got down

the definition of power on a bball court

I believe Shaq was stronger but if Wilt and him played at the same time it would be very close and I could see Chamberlain being the victor of the two with the same advantages that Shaq has.

David Robinson was faster than Shaq too





There isn't a single solitary clip of Wilt with the ball in a halfcourt set as impressive as the speed/power and explosiveness in that move from Shaq.

and thats prime shaq
93 shaqs agility while being a legit 7 foot and 300 pounds
he was out here running fast breaks with his big ass
imagine if shaq prioritized taking care of his body as much as lebron did

David Robinson isn't as fast as Wilt though. And David also got his shyt pushed in against Hakeem. He gets dikked down by GOATs it seems. Measurably, Wilt is fast enough to the point that if that does happen, it isn't happening very often and there's nothing to prove that Wilt couldn't come down on the other end and sauce up Shaq.

Lakers Wilt wasn't his physical prime, he was much slower and more plodding then, especially after his knee injury.

yeah, but he got stronger for sure. and he kept lifting weight. he probably got stronger after he retired.

i see dudes lifting weights keep getting stronger well into 40's. for body builders mid 30's is like the peak. and they can stay in prime till late 30's. for pure lifting standing point i'm sure wilt is legit. i think arnold confirmed that.

shaq probably didn't even lift much.

there's just aren't enough footages for wilt's showing his beast strength.


but he got that quick jump ability. he would lead in rebounds and blocks in today's nba

finesse

 

[FabTrey]

he got that dwight howard shoulder. wilt is probably a super saiyan version of dwight in today's nba

wilt was as big as shaq and ewing when he was in his 60s from a physical standpoint.

This picture says a lot. As much as we love to give Shaq credit as being impossibly big and fast on the court, Wilt was right there with him and actually stayed in shape.

Wilt was not stronger than S78haq during his playing days, no fukking way. Yall are taking the Wilt after he retired and got into serious weight lifting for Conan and attributing that to prime Wilt days. This is what Wilt looked like in his physical prime -

That is not the frame of a man who is stronger than Shaq, that is the frame of a dude that would get bullied, drop stepped and dunked on like everyone else that guarded Shaq.

All these Paul Bunyon tales about Wilt get old and they're never challenged because so little video of him exists, and the video that does exist does not show a man that is as physically dominant as Shaq, it does not show a man who appears to be as strong or as fluid with his movements as Shaq.

Stronger not bigger in mass man...shaq mass was bigger but Wilt was stronger....wilt always held back his strength whereas shaq was trying to physically impose his well All The time
