Wilt Chamberlain on Shaq

#NBA #legend #Wilt #chamberlain talks about #Shaq

I am always shocked seeing Wilt stand next to the PRIME Shaq and somehow IMPOSE himself both by being larger, but also being a legend at the time while Shaq was still making his mark. Wilt was a bigger guy, and I still cannot completely get over it. Seeing the footage of them at 1996 all star weekend iirc... wtf?

No comparison. Not taking anything away from Shaq, but Wilt wzs in a class all by himself. There are so many extraordinary stories about Wilt that can be verified. Wilt could palm a 16lb bowling ball. His strength was extraordinary. He currently resides on Mt. Olympus. He wats breakfast and lunch with Zeus and Hercules. R.I.P. Big Dipper. Philly Strong!

600lb bench with those long arms? No way.

Shaq is the most dominant center ever but only because Wilt didn't play the same way as Shaq. It was a different time, Wilt did not want to be called a brute and "he's just bigger and stronger then everyone else" so he played the game in a skillful manner instead like doing a turnaround bank shot. Imagine Shaq doing that same kind of shot, people would call him out for it say "why don't you assert yourself inside and go for a dunk?"

Imagine if wilt had footwork, post moves, modern training and diet and health things. Sheesh.

Only #73 Larry Allen can do that ( 700lbs actually ) = RIP Legend

Wilt always seems like Petty White as well

When wilt was 15 years old in the 1950s...his friends from school would go to his home and in wilts bedroom... he had 300 lbs dumbbells...according to his friends... i dont know if thats 300 lbs in total or twice that amount in two dumbells but 300 lbs for a youngster of 15 to lift is not a small weight by any means....
A few years later before he joined the nba Wilt played with the Harlem Globetrotters the Globetrotters doctor of record states he saw wilt pickup two Harlem Globetrotters one in each hand by their teeshirts and hold them well of the ground...
They both weighed in at well over two hundred pounds each and he said, "wilt could have clashed their heads together!"
Wilt would have relished the opportunity of going up against Shaq, if he could move close on 450lbs or more like those two Harlem Globetrotters just imagine what he could have done to Shaquille O'Neal who weighed a lot less...

Wilt was a great! A true great! A freak of nature! But he was always talking bad about anyone that could be considered greater than him, despite the fact that a lot of people would rank Kareem and Russell higher that’s all time… and he played in their era. This is another example of him doing that to someone that can be considered more dominant than him.

[gregrowe]

Mark Henry couldn’t even bench 600 lbs and he weighed 400 himself. Shaq’s best was in the 450 lb range.

This might have been cut up from an interview talking about MJ, with a clip cut in where he mentions Shaq; I don't have time to investigate but I think that's it.

[nobshistoryengineering]

"bench 600 lbs" lmao

no... not even close

[Mike-phrn]

Shaq is a good person.
But if he was 6 inches shorter, he'd be flipping burgers.
If you don't think so, you never watched him miss free throw after free throw.

[mrsmith]

Wilt was great
Great at basketball and great at talking porky pies

[qman]

I know Shaq won a few rings with the Lakers but i always see him as a Celtic

[pegleggreg]

I call BS on 600lb bench. If Wilt was 125kg in his prime, that means he benched more than 90% of the WORLD RECORD for powerlifters. Nah man

[salvatoresgobbo]

Wilt was goat and is giat center 2 kareem, 3 olajawan, 4 shack 5 malone moses 6 russel

[YuhBoiJeremiah]

I respect Wilt for being competitive but Shaq would give him 40 & 30 all day long too if Russell gave him problems so can Shaq

[gregpst]

Bullshit Wilt benched 600lbs. Absolute Bullshit.

[aerogorn]

Wilt didnt bench no 600 lbs when he was playing. I dont believe that at all.
