Pretty sure a rookie time traveled Wilt would still be the most physically dominant..

[CavaliersFTW]

Nah i bet Enes kanter could beat his ass

this is at 20 years old. 6'11

Bill Russell's height. With short arms. Dwarfed by Wilt.

All Wilt would need is one beat down by the hands of Javale McGee and that would send him back to fighting mountain lions

You got one of rookie Shaq and D-Rob? Both legit 7 footers and athletic specimens. Does anyone know D-Rob's body fat %?

[Haymaker]

Pretty sure he would be the best C in the league, which isn't saying much given the piss poor crop of modern centers. He would've been one of the top C's in the 90's along Ewing, Olajuwon, Robinson, but he wouldn't be the best back then.

Curious. How did you end up stanning Wilt?

he needed a goal in life

shaq's not in line with the agenda he'll put the skinny robinson tho, maybe a very young shaq in his college years.

Prime shaq would eat anybody alive, wilt included. Dude was a tank Not even mentioning shaq offensive skills >>>> wilt's offensive skills.

Prime yao would give wilt a run for his money tbh.

btw, with wilt being such a dominant physical specimen how didn't he dominate that 6'11 midget russell?

Russel is the size of deandre jordan, op correctly observs that he looked like a small child near wilt. Chokers gonna choke tbh.

[swagga]

btw op how did wilt not push russell like a cup of coffee. Can you confirm that bill russell was stronger than peak shaq?

Exactly, this is where the disconnect comes in that makes it difficult to accept the Wilt praise. He makes DJ and Dwight look "like children" yet Russell, the same size, took home 11 rings and beat him when it counted? Cavs, you are trying to make it sound like Wilt on Dwight would be like Dwight posting up Harden or Rondo. I just don't buy it.

this dude cavsftw cracks me up. He is like a literate version of dubeta/dragic/xrings/jt/etc.

So you assume because I use an example of him moving 290lb Lanier around like a "coffee cup" you automatically assume since I provided no other examples, that he couldn't move say, a 230lb Russell around with ease? Is that what you call ISH logic?

Rest assured he was definitely a lot stronger than Bill Russell.

Hmm, 30's Wilt looks marginally taller than rookie wilt, while in sandals while Rookie wilt is in Chucks... and there's no bball in the 30s pic.

Wilt does make DeAndre look not that big, but I really, really doubt he would be tossing Marc Gasol and Howard around with ease.

I opened the pic, and 30's Wilt head's tip is exactly where rookie Wilt's is.

Because it's not 1-on-1. If Shaq made Hakeem and Rodman look like children, why didn't he do the same to them in '95 and '96? Why didn't he actually do this to everyone in the 13 different postseasons he failed to win a title?
At least Russell proved to be a winner, regardless of Wilt, and Wilt still won 2 rings and got to the Finals 6 times. What the heck have Dwight and DJ ever shown to be put in the same sentence with Russell and Wilt?

Right, because individuals win championships not teams. Wilt grabbing 55 rebounds and scoring 60+ multiple times against him means nothing as far as his individual match up at center position was concerned.

Lanier got moved like a 'coffee cup' by Wilt.

Speaking of Lanier, with all of his offensive skills, there's a guy who would be a star in today's NBA.
