Yes we have all heard the tall tales before. He wrassled bears for fun at half time during games while being blown by 50 women at once.

How about from Arnold, then?

BTW, legendary Wilt-hater Bill Simmons in that same interview...

"He was BY FAR the strongest person who has ever played in the NBA."

If Wilt was so strong how come he wasn't pulling down rims and shattering backboards regularly like Shaq, Gus and Dawkins?

He wasn't STUPID like those guys.

BUT, how about this...

http://wiltfan.tripod.com/quotes.html

"The greatest play I've ever seen was one of the last games of the 1966-67 season and were playing Baltimore. We [Philadelphia] were going for the best record in NBA history. There was a play earlier in the game where Gus Johnson had dunked one over Wilt. Gus was a very strong player. I weighed 220 pounds, and with one hand Gus could push me out of the lane. The man was a physical specimen [6-foot-6, 230 pounds], all muscle. He loved to dunk and was a very colorful player. When he slammed it on Wilt, he really threw it down, and you could tell that Wilt didn't like it one bit.
Later in the game, Gus was out on the fast break, and the only man between him and the basket was Wilt. He was goin to dunk on Wilt--again. Gus cupped the ball and took off--he had a perfect angle for a slam. Wilt went up and with one hand he grabbed the ball--cleanly! Then he took the ball and shoved it right back into Gus, drilling Gus into the floor with the basketball.
Gus was flattened and they carried him out. It turned out that Gus Johnson was the only player in NBA history to [COLOR="DarkRed"]suffer a dislocated shoulder[/COLOR] from a blocked shot."

Heres Wilt and Shaq at their peak strength level






IDK about you guys but Shaq looks massively stronger

Now you're getting it. Breaking the glass is a whole different story than bringing down EVERYTHING. 6'6" 215 lb Jordan shattered a backboard before.

But find me evidence of any NBA player besides Shaq destroying the entire basket infrastructure... not just the glass. I'll wait.

1) Arnold never was a power lifter, he was a bodybuilder- his muscles were literally just for show... so he's not exactly the authority on strength.

2) Bill Simmons

And what is on your resume?

And what is on your resume?

I once killed a mountain lion with my bare hands when I stopped by a road to take a piss.

Wasn't one of those slow, unathletic mountain lions from the 60s either.

Look at the size of that f*cker compared to Wilt's. Bigger, stronger, faster. Evolution.

I think your photo is shopped. Mine was real. And that was Wilt standing over the crumpled cat.

This...

as backboards have broken, they have changed up the backboard design to prevent it from occurring. The backboards Gus Johnson broke were not the same ones Shaq broke. Shaq broke the post-Johnson designed backboards.

The way the post-Shaq (NBA Regulation) backboard is designed, the metal pins anchoring the rim do not transfer force to the glass; a human can no longer shatter the backboard via a dunk. The NBA put a lot of time and effort into the redesign for player safety, as you see in that dunk mix you can land harshly after breaking the backboard.

Shaq literally destroyed everything, the backboard, the rim, the entire support structure. Quite simply a strength and pure force Wilt never came close to encountering. There's no point in arguing with someone who claims that 6'6" 235 Gus Johnson was as strong as 7'1" 300+lb Shaq, they have their head stuck firmly in the sand.

Shaq aint strong, he is just puffy & fat. He does have good footwork and is nimble on his feet and good at throwing his massive dead weight around but SHAQ IS NOT STRONG.
