wilt chamberlain can do all that stuff better than shaq.
and he can do way more.
its not even up for debate.
Why is it that the people saying things like this aren't coming with receipts?
Can you please explain this video, if Wilt would be so much more dominant than Shaq. This is 1964, from Wilt's BEST season, the single biggest game in what one of his supporters called his most clearly dominant postseason....so why does it look as bad as it does?
Sure did deflect that Tristan Thompson point. He's black and over 6'8, and been one of the worst def centers in the league. What's he doing to Wilt. Is this another Draymond-Kareem thing lolz
Do you not get how you keep sonning yourself? Tristan Thompson is nothing today, and
he easily would have been one of the top three-four defenders in the NBA when Wilt came in.
Before Nate Thurmond came into the league in 1964, name three post defenders in the entire NBA who were harder than Tristan. The best defensive centers at the time were Russell and Wilt. When they weren't playing each other, defense was a joke. 3rd best center was Walt Bellamy (who, if you watch the tapes, would be mediocre at best on defense in this era), and 4th best was....I don't even know who the hell the fourth best was.
You keep talking about how Tristan isn't a good defender for this era, so how could he guard Wilt? And I'm pointing out to you,
look at all the stiffs you did guard Wilt and notice that they're worse than Tristan.
yep
dude was a trackstar, a high jumper & was strong as chit. that's not to mention his skillset on the court was off the charts.
but let these dudes tell it, hes not even as good as shaq.
that's a myth.
in reality, they played in a better era for centers than shaq did.
Yeah, they played in a "better era for centers" because the key was only 12 feet wide and because everyone else on the court was under 6'7". You racked up dominant stats if you were tall and could jump.
For nearly the first 20 years of the NBA's existence, if you were Black and over 6'9", there was a 50-50 chance you'd go to the Hall of Fame. It was that easy to dominate.
we can look at clips of Jordan's era and post the same smilies in 2017.
whats your point?
Well, yeah, that's a good point. There's a lot more talent than there was in Jordan's era too. I point that out before - watch clips of the 1992 Finals, Clyde vs MJ, and it's laughable how poor the defense is at times.
But it's still a FAR better game than the 1964 Finals.
Nonsense
