Wilt Chamberlain almost rips Shaq's arm out of it's socket

[catch24]

Shaq looked confused and pissed tbh. Like is this dude serious trying to show me up?

I like Wilt (rip)...but that handshake wasn't even necessary.

A Chamberlain in the mid-60's, and at nowhere near his peak strength...

http://www.si.com/vault/1964/03/02/6...lt-chamberlain

The St. Louis Hawks' 6-foot-9, 240-pound Zelmo Beaty, for example, found out recently that he can no longer take Chamberlain's great strength for granted. Unable to slow Wilt down with conventional maltreatment, Beaty tried to yank his shorts off. Chamberlain, who can press [COLOR="DarkRed"]400 pounds[/COLOR] without breathing hard, makes it a point to control his temper, primarily because he is genuinely afraid he might kill somebody. Beaty's unethical yank, however, was too much. Wilt flicked an arm, and Beaty flew across the floor like a man shot out of a cannon. Referee Mendy Rudolph rushed over to him and said: "For God's sake, stay down, man. Don't even twitch a muscle." Beaty didn't twitch, and he is still active in the NBA.

A 370+ lb Shaq...

Hell, he BARELY got 315 up.

That video is from 3 years after he retired and was basically fat AF.

Shaq would break Wilt in half if they went up against each other.

Shaq would break Wilt in half if they went up against each other.

So he could barely get 315 up only three years after retiring?

NO WAY in Hell the man EVER did 400.



When Shaq would turn into Wilt, it would be like running into a brick wall. He wouldn't have budged Chamberlain.

And without being able to move his man to get to within 3ft of the rim...well, Shaq wouldn't have scored.

But thanks for playing.

Are you honestly melting down this hard about a guy, who 3 years after retiring, was not able to bench 405?

BTW, Shaq was lazy WHEN he was playing. Imagine him after retirement....

I'm not "melting down" at all.

The FACTS are...and this is not disputed...Chamberlain was/is considered the strongest man to have ever played in the NBA. I can post live interviews, links, you name it, until the cows come home.

Shaq? Not so much. He was basically a bulk, but was nowhere near as strong as Chamberlain (hell, I can post a live interview in which Wilt was seen benching 465...in his 50's.)

Who gives a shit about how much he was lifting in his 50's? Dude was a well known steroid junkie. Whatever post are OPINIONS of people. Not FACTS.

Shaq >>>>>>>>> Wilt "Choker" Chamberlame, BTW.

[Marchesk]

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

Mountain Lion was being owned by a 6 foot white dude. That's not evolution.

Then why are you posting on this topic?

Look, there is no way in Hell that Shaq was even close to Chamberlain in overall strength.

It would be one thing if we only had a single eye-witness account. But, the internet is PLASTERED with eye-witness accounts (including Arnold, himself.) Did Wilt pay hundreds, if not thousands of people to lie for him?

My god, you have a 235 lb fright train running into Chamberlain, and going straight up, and with one hand, he not only cleanly blocked the shot, he knocked the man backwards and to the floor, and dislocated his shoulder. The same guy who shattered three backboards. That was witnessed by thousands.

Again...just google Wilt's strength. Page-after-page.

Aren't we talking about them during their careers? Or do you just want to keep talking about how strong Wilt was in his '50's, when he was constantly juicing.

Again, Shaq is just on another planet compared to Mr. Chokerlain.

Chamberlain was KNOWN to have been benching 400 lbs in his 20's.

By the 70's, a 310+ lb Chamberlain was doing much more.

And? Shaq, during his playing days, was much much stronger than Wilt.
