I put that video compilation together, seen all those. Kareem has more dunks on what limited film exists due to the fact that Wilt challenged Kareem at the rim defensively more than visa versa. But in photograph, nothing tops what I just posted IMO. From any player against any other player. That's the best literal 'poster' photograph I've seen in my books.

Nah, big and big isn't too aesthetically pleasing, imo. Also the angle is rather unflattering. The camera either needs to be higher to provide a more centered perspective or lower (which is how most NBA pictures are now from that part of the court). Something about Kareem's pose isn't too great either. Perhaps Wilt touched the ceiling before coming down, but the picture implies Kareem mistimed his block attempt.

Dig the uniforms and the blurred clarity (does that even make sense?) of the b/w crowd, tho.

Shaq.

John Salley is yet another player (from the modern era) who has stated that Chamberlain is the strongest man he ever met in his life. It's not as if he was asked either, this is a statement he casually made while discussing a completely different topic.



http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/08/29/john-salley-talks-about-veganism-and-the-nba/

Aug 29, 2013

Then there is John Salley, the former Pistons Bad Boy and current sports talk personality, who has taken the next step and is vegan (he does not use or ingest animal products, so for example no cheese, yogurt or eggs). He talked about that change and why he did it, speaking with Ethan Sherwood Strauss in a fascinating interview at TrueHoop. (http://espn.go.com/blog/truehoop/post/_/id/62516/john-salley-on-veganism-in-the-nba)

(http://espn.go.com/blog/truehoop/post/_/id/62516/john-salley-on-veganism-in-the-nba)
The first question was did Salley switch to veganism for health reasons?

Yeah. When Wilt Chamberlain died. Any kind of blockage is heart disease; when you have a blood clot anywhere, that’s heart disease. When Wilt Chamberlain died, strongest man I ever met in my life, I started paying attention.

Come on man, you can argue for Shaq over Wilt in terms of his power game, but Wilt is one of the few who has as good or better a peak than Shaq.

Forget the 50/25, did Shaq ever go 24/24/8/68%?

The phrasing "strongest man I've ever met" indicates (although it obviously doesn't guarantee) that he witnessed him do something. I guess he had already seen pics and videos of him lots of times before.
What is for certain is that Salley played multiple seasons against Shaq and was peak Shaq's teammate in 2000. And this quote is way more recent.

It's a wrong connection, but it always strikes as odd to see a strong man die that young. In Wilt's case, the thing isn't that he was strong, it's that he was known as a guy who was living a healthy life and was very fit for his age and size. Much like Kareem, who is 7'2, but he's 67 and his most serious health problem isn't even relevant to his height.

The reason for Wilt's early death might be the use of anabolic steroids. People will burn me for this, but I think there's a strong possibility Wilt was using. He started playing pro ball when dianabol hit the market. We also know Wilt was a good friend of Arnold and those guys were all juiced as hell. Arnold even mentions Wilt could press more on cable triceps pushdown than some of the pro bodybuilders. It's just not possible for guys who are not juicing to be on the level of the guys who do. And just look at some of Wilt's photos in his late year, he's still pretty big. Especially for a guy with the body type Wilt had. Look at Wilt's high school photos, he's ectomorph as well. If he had genetics that would allow him to gain the body type he had in his later years, it would show earlier. Now I'm not trying to take anything away from Wilt, he was one of the greatest athletes in the history of the game without a doubt. But I think there's a strong chance he was taking steroids.

Nate Thurmond even knows that Wilt, even in his strongest, was a soft jumpshot chucker who never imposed his "GOAT STRENGTH FOR ANY SPORT EVER" on players.

There's a misunderstanding here, I think. They're comparable in strength.

But what Shaq did that Wilt didn't was fully use his size/strength/mass advantage to completely dominate their opponents. Shaq would bull his way into the net. Wilt disliked being seen as a bull, so he would fade away from the basket. Would go all finger rolls, fades, etc.

Wilt really was at least as strong as Shaq. But he just wouldn't use it like Shaq did. Such a shame, such a shame.

Ηe wouldn't and he couldn't (=wasn't allowed to). The NBA was still going by the book too much, but much more when it came to physical specimens like Wilt. Shaq committed lots of offensive fouls per game that weren't whistled, because he was equalizing the unwhistled defensive fouls on him. In Wilt's era, he wouldn't even be allowed to do that if he wanted not to face fouling trouble, and he'd still have to tolerate lots of unwhistled defensive fouls - he'd have to stand and "take it like a bigger person", as the stupid phrase goes.

There's probably tons of steroids and other PEDs in the league at the moment. If the guys like Hedo, Rashard Lewis and Nick Calathes are juicing...for sure there were crazy amount of PEDs back in the days as well. Just like at David Robinson, Carl Malone an all the other guys, who were playing basketball all season at less than 8% body fat and were also extremely ripped.

You know, between your quote, and the one in this interview:

[QUOTE]SLAM: Who was the toughest center for you to guard?
NT: Kareem had more of a repertoire and was harder to stop. He had a little more versatility when he set up on the floor. Wilt liked the left side, but Jabbar set up on either side. Wilt would rely on the fade-away 70 percent of time; Kareem

Were you more aware of your mortality because a lot of taller guys have health problems? Is that something you were aware of that led you to these decisions?

Yeah. When Wilt Chamberlain died. Any kind of blockage is heart disease; when you have a blood clot anywhere, that’s heart disease. When Wilt Chamberlain died, strongest man I ever met in my life, I started paying attention.



Do you think you would have been even better as a player had you been on this vegan diet?

Oh my God, if I was a vegan when I should have done this thing, man? I remember when I became a vegetarian and my game changed. I couldn’t imagine if I was a vegan back when I was playing. The thing about the NBA, any pro sport, is, guys don’t know how to take care of their body.

It’s funny. They got trainers around to help them lift weights, throw all this weight up, parachutes. All this other crazy stuff. But they don’t have guys who say, “Hey. This is how you take care of your body.”

1990, the Summer right after we won my second championship. The [team doctor] was like, 'Yo, man, your cholesterol is the highest on the team.' It was higher than Tree Rollins and James Edwards, the two old guys when I was playing.

Yeah. When Wilt Chamberlain died. Any kind of blockage is heart disease; when you have a blood clot anywhere, that’s heart disease. When Wilt Chamberlain died, strongest man I ever met in my life, I started paying attention.



Do you think you would have been even better as a player had you been on this vegan diet?

Oh my God, if I was a vegan when I should have done this thing, man? I remember when I became a vegetarian and my game changed. I couldn’t imagine if I was a vegan back when I was playing. The thing about the NBA, any pro sport, is, guys don’t know how to take care of their body.

It’s funny. They got trainers around to help them lift weights, throw all this weight up, parachutes. All this other crazy stuff. But they don’t have guys who say, “Hey. This is how you take care of your body.”

1990, the Summer right after we won my second championship. The [team doctor] was like, 'Yo, man, your cholesterol is the highest on the team.' It was higher than Tree Rollins and James Edwards, the two old guys when I was playing.
I don't think the first quote was misleading, now it only seems even more stupid to me really. The real reason for him playing and feeling better is his diet was probably shitty before. And this is not a thing of eating meat or not. You can have a really clean diet, eat a lot of lean meat or even meat with moderate amounts of fat and have great cholesterol levels or even go keto and eat high amounts of fat and still look cut, be in great physical shape and be healthy. And you can also have a shitty vegan diet, eat too much, get fat and have shitty cholesterol levels. And even with a clean diet you can gain too much weight, which will affect your performance and your cholesterol level as well. The food choices are just one of the aspects of the diet.

And it's true, a lot of athletes don't really care about their diet as long as their performance and the level of fitness are good enough for them to earn their salary. But professional athletes today have their nutritionists and chefs and if they decide to eat shitty food, it's because they decided to, not because nobody told them it's not the best thing for them.

I remember the story of a vegetarian triathlete Dave Scott, who won 6 times at the Ironman. After a break from competing, he returned at age 40 and nearly won. He was omnivore at the time and claimed his performance was better when he was omnivore. It just shows there's much more to a good diet than either eat meat or don't.

Pretty sure that's Nate Thurmond getting smashed on.

I love this picture because it shows Chamberlain's game style. He's got that laugh going that he would do lotta times when he had burned his defender... "you thought I was gonna spin and finger roll, didn't you? I got you again!! hahhahahaha.........." that big booming laugh he had all full of life but also letting that poor guy know he had just got smoked once again.

SLAM: Was it intimidating coming to a team where a Chamberlain was already a star in the pivot?
NT: I wasn’t intimidated, because I knew I wasn’t going to start. I took it as an opportunity to practice against the best center in the league. I guarded him in practice. He was overpowering, because he had weight. I went from Bowling Green to the NBA and practiced hard against Wilt. There was a little incubation period, and everyday it was like, “Go to sleep at night, rookie.” I averaged seven points per game and was second in rebounds on the team my rookie year.


That's not the first time I've seen a player mention Wilts weight when asked about his strength.....If I'm not mistaken on the player Gilmore essentially said the same thing. The way they put it sounds as if they're saying "Yeah he was strong, but not THAT strong. He just weighed so damn much"


Not to sound as if I'm denying how strong he was. I think he's at least as strong as Shaq if not a decent bit stronger. Especially in the upper body

Cavs, did you get any more good images of Wilt and Shaq next to each other by layering those All Star games with the same angles?

No there didn't seem to be enough interest so I didn't pursue it further, I could always go back to it at some point. Orlando Shaq could literally disappear behind Lakers Wilt though, that much is clear. Just watching them on the same spots on the floor its so obvious, if it wasn't obvious enough watching old man Wilt (who was 30lbs lighter than his Lakers self) standing next to Shaq on the two occasions they were filmed together. Lakers Wilt was a taller, broader, stronger looking player than Orlando Shaq, he almost dwarfs him. Which makes more sense in light of recent evidence that Shaq was 7-0 w/o shoes (actually only 6-11.5 according to his own admission on Howard Stern).

Which games specifically were you taking these from? Since you're so busy with other projects I wouldn't mind watching and attempting it myself

It's surprising seeing how big Wilt is.....I knew he was huge, but with the way the media/nba hype train does everything I really thought Shaq was just as big if not bigger.....Before you came around with your videos I thought Wilt was a slightly less athletic and smaller yet more skillful version of Shaq....You've done nothing but prove the opposite.....Except for strengthening the idea that Wilt was more skillful
