Artis Gilmore bullying 265 lb Kareem with one arm

[Uncle Drew]

And how about Gilmore blocking Kareem's sky hook in the air...

Goaltend.

[LAZERUSS]

Goaltend.

Again...nope.

[Uncle Drew]

Again...nope.

Ball is on it's way down. How ''nope''?

[5 rings fan]

How about a 36 year old Chamberlain against a 22 year old Artis...

holy wilt was an amazing passer

Do you think he could stop Shaq from getting deep position? I'd liken Gilmore to David Robinson in terms of physique and strength. Neither were particularly heavy for the C position but both were unbelievably strong. In this video (Rookie Shaq vs 4th year D-Rob), Shaq gets good post position on him a few times.

Looks like a goal tend.

Granted Shaq was probably only around 300 lbs at the time but...

Christian Science Monitor - Jan 25, 1993

After the Celtics lost to the Magic, 113-94, Robert Parish said that in his 17- year career, only longtime Chicago Bulls star Artis Gilmore was physically stronger than O'Neal, but that Shaq was more athletic - "and that is a very scary thought," he said in mock seriousness.

BTW, a prime Gilmore was easily 290 lbs.

Nope.

Gilmore, and Wilt (who did it frequently) blocked the sky hook at it's apex.

by apex, do you mean not apex?

I've noticed something....For all of the bashing Dwight gets for this era and how MUCH BETTER centers were back in older eras...Dwight's better than the majority of them....Like Gilmore....

In the early to mid-70's...

Cowens, McAdoo, Gilmore, Thurmond, Reed, Walton, Kareem, and Wilt...

ALL considerably better than Dwight.

I like Dwight, but he'd get clowned by most star centers back then.

Early 70s had to be the weakest era for players in basketball, my god....


I'm pretty sure Howard would have snagged at least 2 MVP's out of that....

Bob McAdoo and Moses "no defense" Malone won some.....

[Straight_Ballin]

yes in that video it is a close goal tend imo but we all know Wilt blocked kareems skyhook twice in a row without goaltending
thats why hes the GOAT

Lol, yes because blocking a skyhook makes you GOAT. Wilt played against inferior comp most of his career so there goes that whole argument.

[Paul George 24]

That view is cool

Kobe >>>> everyone though
