People tend to equate Shaq’s size (weight - over weight he was) to strength. There are a lot of big (fat) guys out there that are not necessarily strong. Don’t get me wrong, Shaq was big and strong, but not freakishly strong like Wilt. His bull rush style of play would not have been allowed back in the 60’s. Wilt was just blessed with an unequaled combination of athleticism, agility, strength, stamina, quickness and strength! Unfortunately TV was not prevalent back in the 60s so much of Wilt’s accomplishments have no video footage. He is similar to Ruth in being an anomaly that is hard to fathom due to not a lot of video.

Most don't realize just how good Wilt rreally was. In a game on March 18, 1968...he had an unofficial quintuple double, since they didn't count steals and blocks at the time. In that game he had 53 points, 32 rebounds, 14 assists, 11 steals and 24 blocks!!! GOAT.

I can't tell if Wilt's normal handshake is just so abnormally strong, or was Shaq's reaction because Wilt intentionally gave Shaq a power handshake. Some guys do that, they like to show off how manly they are to other men and practically tear your arm off. I know an old man that does it, he's nearly 80 years old but likes to give power hand shakes. So it's hard to tell if Shaq's reaction was "bro, do you really need to give an unnecessary handshake like that!?" Would Wilt shake the hand of non-NBA players like that?

In 1981 was working the door at the Blue Water Cafe on Waikiki. I was used to seeing huge people since there are plenty of professional athletes who would come to Hawaii on vacation as well as some really big Hawaiians and Samoans who worked as bouncers in the clubs. Wilt walked in one night and I basically had to reprogram myself to what I had always thought of as being really big. I shook his hand and remember that he seemed to cradle my hand like an adult might do to keep from hurting a child. I had always thought of myself as being pretty strong because I pretty much lived in the gym back then. I'll never forget how I went from feeling strong to feeling almost powerless when I was next to Wilt.

A friend of mine and I, with some lady friends, were in a restaurant on the Wharf in 1968 in SF when Wilt walked in and sat at the next table. Sitting down he looked like a really strong guy of maybe 6'6". He was so well proportioned you could not believe it when he stood up. We said hello and he was extremely polite and shook our hands and I think he could have wrapped his hand twice around mine. He then left with the three gorgeous ladies that accompanied him. Saw Russell two weeks later at Cala foods in Berkeley.

Im telling you Wilt is the greatest basketball player to ever live. Yall dont know and he has been forgotten by many but that dont mean he wasn't the best. They changed the games rules so wilt wouldnt totally dominate it. Wilt was the first to dunk from the free throw and it wasn't that hard for him. He was ao dominate that they told him he scored to much so he became an assist machine that year. He could have done whatever he wanted. The man scored 100 points. The record of 20k is in question but the fact the conversation is had means he was like modern day genghis khan😂

If you needed to pick an all around athlete in all of recorded history to represent earth in the Universe Olympics, the clear choice would be Wilt Chamberlain.

If you look at younger photos of him he looks very slender, if you look at him when he was in his Laker Days in his 30s he had much broader shoulders and looked much bigger.

You're not understanding, you can't just judge strength just based off physique. For example, an adult male leopard usually weighs at most 160-170lbs. Yet a leopard can run 40mph, have been known to hunt and kill silverback gorillas which can be up 400+lbs. Leopards can also drag prey many times their size into the trees after a successful kill, to avoid paying food taxes to other predators like lions and hyenas. All of this for a cat that rarely gets heavier than 160. How is this possible? Fast twitch muscle fibers. Animals and humans like Wilt may appear slim, but they have muscles that contract and produce force faster and more powerfully than other animals/humans. People with many fast twitch muscle fibers can be found in any race, but it is more prevalent in blacks of West African descent, again like Wilt and many other black athletes that play explosive sports. People with more fast twitch muscles, burn energy and calories faster and tend to have a fast metabolism, which consequently gives them a slim look with low body fat. Generally, they can eat and eat all day hardly, put on significant fat, they also tend to gain muscle really quickly with intense training.

@joekeenan64357 ай бұрын
Most people have the ability to contract their muscles so powerfully they could rip the muscles off the bone; what stops this from happening is the existance of two protective "devices:" 1. The golgi tendon organ - Monitors tension in a muscle tendon and shutdown the muscle if the tension on the tendon gets too high. 2. The muscle spindle - Monitors tension and speed of lengthening in a muscle. If the muscle stretches too fast or if the muscle is under too much tension, the muscle spindle shuts down the lift. Wilt could of had a very high threshold for shutdown, if so, a person with this gift would be much, much stronger than an even a trained man.

There is a powerlifter, Anatoly, who frequently posts hilarious KZbin videos showing him posing as a trainer or janitor, and easily outlifting guys twice his size in the gym. He looks...normal, if not slim. Core strength. I competed in senior powerlifting for nine years, and it's not always about mass...far less being "cut".

On TV I saw him break up a fight by wrapping the other team's fellow up from behind and carrying him to the other end of the court. Other fellow was calmed down by then! AND...Wilt was set for a dunk when the opposing (250 lb.) center decided to foul him instead. He stood face-to-face with Wilt and grabbed both his wrists. WILT CARRIED THE GUY UP TO MAKE THE DUNK. ('Course he probably missed his free throw.)

@bradreid60577 ай бұрын
Wilt was super strong, no doubt about it. I interviewed '56 Silver/'60 Gold Olympic shot put medalist, Bill Nieder, about 25 years ago for a biographical article and he told me what actually happened by the dorm one day. Wilt used an overhand, 2-hand "put" where one stands backward and slings it overhead. You see shot-putters often do this as a warm-up. Bill, was right-handed, but the bet required him and Al Oerter (also right handed) to use their left hands. I don't mean to demean Wilt but no one can seriously believe he could out-throw the Olympic silver medalist, soon to be gold medalist shot putter. Too, Al Oerter thought Wilt had great potential in the discus because of his arm span, worked with him but Wilt never progressed as much as he thought he might, his height making a discus ring look like a sewer plate. But, Wilt was a superman. He was also an excellent high jumper and I believe he tied an SMU jumper for 1st place at the Kansas or Drake Relays one year at around 6'7". As best I know, he wasn't his conference's high jump champ. Unbeknownst to many, Bill Russell actually had a better high jump. I believe he jumped 6'9" while he was in college. Bill was just a shade behind the top high jumper in the USA but chose to go to the '56 Olympics as a basketball team member and passed on the '56 Olympic Trials in the high jump. Wilt's supposed weight lifting? Nah! Most of it is gross hyperbole. There is no video evidence of Wilt doing giant lifts. Anyway, he was one in a hundred million and way ahead of the pack early on in his pro basketball days and he played well and stayed athletically active all the way to the end. He really seemed to like to compete. Most of his teammates will tell you he was a man of tall stories about himself, had a giant ego. One of the greats!!!
@MichaelStewart-j1l7 ай бұрын
Wilt, I understand cleared 6'6" in the high jump. But I heard on one of these videos that he led the Big 8 Conference in the high jump three years in a row at 7'1". When Bill Russell was in high school in San Francisco his arch rival in the high jump was singer Johnny Mathis, who was better, and was the one invited to the Olympics, which he turned down.
@bradreid60577 ай бұрын
@@MichaelStewart-j1l No, Wilt never high jumped 7'1" at least not in a competition. I think the 6'6" or an inch or so more was his best. If he had specialized? Sure! And, Bill Russell had a legitimate chance to win a berth to the '56 Games but chose not to choosing basketball over T&F. No, Johnny Mathis wasn't better than Russell; his best was 6'5.5". People aren't invited to the Olympics, they have to qualify by winning a spot at the Olympic Trials. Mathis didn't compete at the '56 Olympic Trials. Chose singing. Both men were fine athletes; both made the proper decisions!!!
