It comes down to how you train your body. What kind of physical coordination and balance does your physical frame possess? The biggest difference between Wilt and other big men legends like Kareem, Shaq, Dwight, Yao Ming, and David Robinson is that Wilt never had that awkward phase of clumsiness that a 6'10, 14yr old would most likely have like those other centers did have who I just mentioned. Jabber couldn't bench press 600 lbs. The Admiral couldn't run the 40-yard dash in 4.4 seconds, and Shaq couldn't throw a football from end zone to end zone. Wilt did all of the things with ease.

In his prime, Wilt bench pressed 600 pounds 🤯

Why this facts important at all?

Load of hogwash because he said himself he was never measured

“That’s why people like Lebron have long careers” … but only a few people have … lol

The thing is Jordan used his jump to go up front and not just up

HATERS ARE THE WORSE 🤦

Vince carter tested 43inches at the combine.. im not sure where you are getting 38 from

Wish we could get all time players all star game 😢

It was Charles Barkley who beat Shaq i a bench press competition, not Wilt, but you are right that Wilt was the strongest in NBA history. Schwarzenegger, who had a verified bench of 500, said Wilt was much stronger than him. It is on a youtube vid, as is the Barkley Shaq contest.

Then why was Luca can't do nothing in finals when brown or holiday guarding him? Hmm?

Nope, nope and nope. Making a point with a picture from Space Jam, the runs there still come up as a rarity like the Dream Team practices. Magic and Thomas being friends was so rare they did articles and NBC segments between games often on the topic

They all took the growth shot that literally makes you grow but leaves you either with little hands or a little penis.

god every American i see get mad over Lyles comment dosent even understand what hes saying because they are too busy being offended. Nobody is doubting currently that the Boston Celtics are the best basketball team in the world! they are just not world champions because they play in a “NATIONAL BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION”. USA won the international competition and are the world champions. When the best football team in the world wins the championships league they are crowned as EUROPEAN champions because they a EUROPEAN LEAGUE

Tell me you don’t know ball without saying you don’t know ball. The Bulls in the 80s and 90s had the slowest pace of all the teams. That 100.8 is avg team pace. Bulls were more like 90 pace or something back then. What’s more is that avg FTA is not a good metric, foul calls were mostly at the end of games in foul time because games were a lot closer back then, you didn’t have a lot of 20-30 pt blowouts. Games were often decided by low single digits. Illegal defense is a bad excuse, why? Because illegal defense does not mean you couldn’t double. It means you had to stay relatively close to your man which actually forced all players to play defense unlike today when offensive superstars stay midway to act as help defenders (and hence rest) so defense was better in that era for sure. Jordan faced plenty of double triple teams (read the Jordan rules and actually watch game tape). There was hand checking back then which meant the defender could control where the ball handler went. Furthermore, the biggest difference was the defensive 3 second rule which clogged the lanes and Jordan still shot ~70% at the rim. Also, Jordan was not a bad 3 point shooter. He was still above avg during his era (even on non shortened line). He took barely 1 a game but when he took upwards of 3, he avged 38%. Jordan never grew up with a 3 ball, if he did, he would easily shoot 40%+ with modern spacing given how he already did 38% on 3 attempts a game. The more you take, the better you make. Jordan would avg 45+ today easily.

Just how? God this sucks

european teams play smart efficient basketball and thats why the can compete against any nba team

"Decent back up center" he is not even a center what r u talking about

Common sense is not a thing in the USA?

Without sheed, they ain’t winning their first one over the pacers let alone against the spurs. Maybe they win against the heat but idk if they beat the mavs. Sheed was a big part of their semi dynasty. In 04, he was still better than melo offensively. While melo over takes him probably in the second year w that, defensively it is such a downgrade. You have to remember they are going against Duncan in 05. 04 Jermaine O’neal. Like Carmelo will not be able to defend them at all.

Tatum would get cut from a euro league team after half a season.

The clue for why they are not the world chanpions is the N in NBA. What does that letter stand for?

That Greg Oden?

Bro get Dem pics outta here. Yu will b 40 one day. And won't be nowhere near bron bro. Stop it shit talkin

What stats do you think LeBron will have?

stupid and silly comparison. nba champs are not world champs thats a fact 😅

Could Carmelo have been a Top 20 Player?

“According to some people” Given there is NO world championship for no nation based teams to compete - it should be everyone’s opinion that they are not the World Champions. BUT likely would be if such a competition exist.

Is this guy stupid to be a world championship you have to go around the world and stand on business. Being better is not enough.

Luke kornet won a ring though in 2024 lol if his rating goes down like that’s messed up

With this logic, Brooklyn Nets 2021 world champions

The Americans will never understand

A world championship require you to win an international worldwide tournament. End of. The nfl champs aren’t world champs. The World Series winners aren’t world champions. The champions league winners aren’t world champs. The ipl winners aren’t world champions.

No worries, Caitlin will be top in those same categories for several years in the future. She will own the stat tables for years to come.

“some people” is not a good source

Being paid that much is just ridiculous 😅

You mentioned Panathinaikos most popular players not their best players. Pao has better coach

Bro you can’t just guess… lmao “He could easily be 450 pounds here” the numbers are listed my guy. Like the nfl the nba weighs and records players. You can see the heaviest team weigh ins. Shaq was at 360 max and Oliver miller the fattest man to play during game time weighed in at 380.

probably Wemby. But for MJ, 65M a year is a steal for the team.

M. Bol may have been the oldest. They think he was 35-40 in his rookie year because they didn’t have any records on him

Jeremiah Grant 😂

Stop.

Who is gonna be the first player to make $70 Million a Year?

Vince Carter was someone special

Not even close to prime Wilt … so I wouldn’t say “best in NBA history” … but otherwise a great post.

😂😂

Could you beat Caitlin Clark 1 on 1?

Most claps from the bench all time is diabolical

What Retired NBA players could still play in the league?

Don definitely didn’t peak as a rookie. He averaged between 15-23 for 10 years his best season was 89-90 and he fell off when he chose to go be a role player on the stacked bulls team. Went from averaging 20ppg to 7
