If they went by Wilt era officiating. Wilt all the way. If they went by Shaq era rules. Shaq, until Wilt finally has enough, and we see what a pissed Wilt Chamberlain would be like. Would be a scary sight indeed.
Shaq would have been fouled out of the game in wilt Chamberlain's time and the top teams in that era had hard players that would elbow you to the face, so anyone trying to show off would be on a hiding to nothing! (it just wasn't done ) If shaq was physical against Wilt chamberlain he would have sealed his own fate, a annoyed wilt was unstoppable according to his greatest opposition and counterpart Bill Russell, wilt would have used the same strength that allowed him to pick-up two players, weighing 230 to 260 Ibs, one in each hand, remind me how much shaq weighed 350 lbs and shifted him out of the way and if shaq argued the point, he would have payed on the court! Finally in the modern era, Wilt Chamberlain would have been astounding, one on one he couldn't be stopped even the great celtics didn't try that against him, they just slowed him down by relying on his one weakness, he believed that basketball was about the game and not hurting anyone. The celtics placed a smaller player to slow him down by placing him in front of wilt when he didn't have the ball, that allowed the celtic team to create a layered defence by Bill Russell firstly and then two or three others to jump all over wilt, wilt never ran over this single player, that was his undoing, he wanted to play basketball and never hurt anyone, but in a few rare exceptions he did! Wilt Chamberlain's reputation for retaliating physical with his strength against all opposition, happened rarely but in the one incident when a celtic player hammered his elbow into wilts mouth and breaking his teeth into his gums, he released his anger and knocked out a 7 foot Celtic player with a 8 inch punch, it didn't pay to anger wilt chamberlain!
@@visualizecreate2530 you guys don't know what your talking about. I'm a big Wilt Chamberlain fan. Wilt was bigger stronger and faster than the players of his era. Wilt was playing guys who were 250lbs+ and could match his speed. Shaq had speed agility, jumping ability etc
Benchpressing doesn't translate to postion and momentum i played againt people 7"1 ,7"0 im 6"7 260 pf professionals i will take it to them similar to Zach randolph but I could jump i would dislodge them and attack them everyplay. Tim Thomas Dan Gadzurick Ron Artesr Lamar Odom list goes on
I have trouble with, "I think Shaq would actually win because of his strength and size" [6:30], since Wilt was almost certainly stronger and their size was very close to the same. Wilt could jump higher, so anything other than a dunk by Shaq could be blocked. In a full game, Wilt would easily win because of his added advantages of speed and endurance. I think both Phil Jackson and Jerry West would pick Wilt.
Just to piggy back on your comment, If you look at them side by side in various vids you see that Wilt is noticeably bigger than Shaq. Not to mention faster and a higher leaper.
exactly, people today say it was because he only played short white guys which is completely false. They also say he was still much bigger than everyone else which is somewhat true with the exception of a few guys during his time but even today he would be bigger than almost everybody on the court. today hed be listed around 7'3 since they measure with shoes on now. 7'3 300 pounder with that kind of athleticism
@@oldeskoolnewsreels9927 Right, there are a few centers with similar athleticism as him like Hakeem and Robinson or Giannis. But they were not as big and strong. There were a few that were similar in strength (Shaq being the prime example) but nowhere near as athletic.
Both in their prime, if you put Shaq in Wilt's rules and Wilt wins hands down. Put Wilt in Shaq's rules and you have an interesting matchup, but with Wilt's greater speed, endurance, length, and skill I think Wilt takes the matchup by a good bit (Wilt at 300lbs, and Shaq at 325-340lbs). Shaq is one of my favorite players of all time, as well as one of the best personalities and a pretty decent person but Wilt was nigh unworldly.
Blocked shots weren't recorded when Wilt played,but someone counted 112 games in which Wilt averaged 8 blocks in 112 games,Wilt led the league in assists one season
8.8 in those 112 games so more closer to 9 per game. not to mention those wre almost all i the 2nd half of his career which inclueds when he had a major tear in his patella and returned. it is highly likely wilt averaged 10-12 blocks per game during his career. he also sometiems decided when to block or not. for example when walt bellamy played in his first game (who was the best cetner just before wilt arrived. wilt said "you won't get a shot off) wilt blocke dhim 9 straight times in the first half. 2nd half starts. wilt said "ok, now you can play" an dhe let up and let the guy play a little more.
I disagree, Shaq would not win against Wilt whether it was in either of their eras. Wilt could run a sub-5 40 yard dash. Wilt could bench press 500+ lbs. Wilt could play all 48 minutes. Wilt had a more rounded game. Wilt had a wicked off the glass fade away. Wilt was a rebounding machine. If you took Shaq in his prime and put him in Wilt’s era when all they had were primitive Converse Chuck Taylor footwear, Shaq would break an ankle. If you took Wilt in his prime and put him in Shaq’s era where now they have high tech, scientifically designed and engineered footwear, Wilt would be even more dominant than he was back in the day. Sorry, Shaq, you’re good but Wilt was great and would be so in any era.
I think it’s less a matter of which is stronger and more how they used their strength. Shaq was all about explosive energy with a general disregard for other people’s safety, which basically made him unstoppable when he was on a roll. Wilt tended toward a more reserved finesse style of play. Shaq would likely dominate early on in any hypothetical game between these two, due to his play style and mentality. Even if Wilt was stronger than Shaq (which he probably was in many metrics) Shaq tended to throw his entire body weight behind his plays which I seriously doubt that Wilt could block without risking injury. But the cost of this explosive style of play is that it is very energy intensive. The longer the game the more things would go in Wilt’s favor, due to his his style of play and legendary stamina (he played every minute of every game one season). More practically though, I imagine that the game would end early because Wilt would try to block Shaq’s dunks, probably even block a significant number of them, but eventually Shaq would accidentally just injure Wilt. Wilt could injure Shaq as well, but he was usually very conscientious of not hurting people.
If wilt played shaq he’d adapt to how he was being played against and turn up his physicality. If his opponent was playing in a way that may hurt him then he’d do the same. It’s like the very few times he’d get physical in his playing days when a fight would begin breaking out or he was pushed to far by the defence constantly fouling him. I’ve seen footage of him literally taking a 6’10, 280+ lbs player, in each hand, and throw both of them at least 6 feet away. Someone like that isn’t going to be pushed around by someone who weighs roughly the same as him, but isn’t as strong or as tall. Even though Wilt consciously tried not to hurt people, he still injured several people. One example is when he went up for a dunk, the defender held onto the ball as he was doing it, and instead of it stopping him, he brought the defender up to the rim along with the ball and then threw him down when he dunked it, which broke the guys collar bone.
@@Garkimyer I agree that Wilt can play rough and can more than match Shaq physically if he change up his gameplay, I’ve seen Wilt throw people around. But that is the thing, Wilt would have to change the way he plays. Wilt was always careful not to injure people, while Shaq really didn’t. In this hypothetical game, Shaq is far more likely to make a play that would injure (or threaten to injure Wilt) first. Assuming that Wilt doesn’t get injured, then yes I agree with you. It’s just that I believe that Shaq is close enough in physical strength to injure Wilt and has the aggressiveness to actually do it.
Wilt Chamberlain was almost two different players. In the first part of his career, he was incredible point scorer-one year he actually AVERAGED over 50 points per game!! No one else have ever come close to that. But the teams he was on during that time really were not that good. Then when he went to the Lakers, Wilt became much more the assist/setup man in the offense, passing the ball to the likes of West, Goodrich, and Baylor who did most of the scoring. These teams did much better, including winning an NBA championship.
Wilt blocked the sky hook (Abdul -Jabbar) twice on one possession, He did this on the downside of his career, because he was 10 years younger than Abdul Jabbar when they played each other
not just that. but wilt had gainied a lot of muslc weighing 20-30 lb more making his jumping height probably slightly less already, and he did this at the very end of his career right after he came back from a MAJOR patella knee surgery . imagine if he played him lighter and at full jumping height
Shaq could not handle Yao ming ...Dennis rodman....Hakeem...wilt would eat shaq alive..you do not know basketball. Barkley is stronger than shaq. I have seen wilt play as well as shaq. Wilt is far better
I think if Shaq pissed Wilt off Wilt wouldn't go easy on him. Like if Shaq tried to bully ball Wilt it would work the first time and maybe the second time but Wilt would start using his strength and out power Shaq since Wilt was stronger.
Wilt was not much taller than the other players. That's a myth unless you believe that wearing shoes with 2 inch platforms makes you taller. look at modern "big" men like Dwight Howard and Ben Wallace if you want to see short.
Wilt ran a 4.4 40. Had a 48 inch vertical and could bench 550lbs😂😂he’s one of the best athletes ever. When the NBa made him stop scoring he lead the league in assists😂😂😂this shit would not even be close. Wilt would DOMINATE Shaq.
Another obviously biased video shaq promotional Wilt chamberlain was the strongest man ever in the league shaqs bully game would probably have pissed Wilt off and Shaq would be shut down Wilt dislocated a man's shoulders who tried to dunk on him by stopping the ball in mid air and Gus Williams was no lightweight
Wilt wins hand down. Faster, stronger, bigger and more skilled. Endurance wise, Wilt would wear Shaq out running the court. Shaq is a nicer person, but Wilt was a better athlete.
Shaq was not going to overpower Wilt on the ground or above the rim! But, Wilt would do that to him! This would be new for Shaq! Nobody that played before or after can simulate Wilt: not Robinson, not Olajuwon, not Moses Malone, not Jabar, not Mutombo, not Ewing, not Russell, not Unseld, not Ming, not Willis Reed, not Walton, not Sampson, not Parrish, and no one else could allow you to spar with Wilt(if he could play under Shaq's rules)! Shaq wouldn't be able to move him nor could he go over him to score, run with him, last as long as Wilt, score nearly as well as Wilt, and exhibit the non-scoring skills as well as Wilt(was a viable globetrotter)! In Shaq's era, Wilt would be as unstoppable as it gets! In Wilt's era, Shaq could very well be on the bench(it required skills to dominate). In today's era, Wilt would be as unstoppable as it gets. Shaq would be great today, too, just not nearly as good as Wilt!
@@delirious300 wilt would of have quintuple doubles all day if they tracked blocks steals during his time honestly Wilt was a myth no one even comes close they down play to 60s to downplay all the players in that Eras greatness the rules were way harder and the physicality was way more aggressive.

Not to mention you really the players really had to love the game in the 60s media attention was all time low and the pay wasn’t that great. And 12 teams made every team stacked in my opinion not the other way around were it was weaker cause only 12 teams imagine the NBA today with only 12 teams and having to play against superstar caliber teams 7-8 times a season.

You said wilt was a good ball handler. I don’t agree with that lol. You saw a couple videos of him running a fast break and think he’s a good ball handler?
Wilt would dominate Shaq... Wilt would be able to guard Shaq... Shaq only had a jump hook, while Wilt had the fadeaway and the finger roll as well as a decent hook shot of his own. Wilt could bench press 600 lbs, and Shaq couldn't even do 450 against Chuck... Wilt would be able to match Shaq's physicality, but Shaq could not match Wilt's IQ and skillset... nor could he match Wilt's incredible athletic prowess. Shaq was dominated by Hakeem Olajuwon, what chance would he have against Wilt?
Wilt is so superior it’s not close! Shaq bench 465 Wilt 600 Shaq get rag dolled! Shaq dunked a few times on Wilt smash. Chamberlain would break his arm. No way he is going to get in rough and tumble war with Wilt! 4.4 40, almost 9 second 100, 45 vertical and was known to pick up a 285 pound nba player with one hand! You go to war with him playing bump and crushing ball! Your getting hurt! Wilt played Against, Nate Thurmond, Kareem, Russell, Reid, Artis Gilmore, don’t tell me Wilts competition was not good. Lots of ignorance on Wilt in modern basketball
Shaq always struggle against athletic and strong bigs. Usually shorter ones like Rodman and Wallace but anyone who could out muscle him always gave him issues.

No way he is going to get in rough and tumble war with Wilt! 4.4 40, almost 9 second 100, 45 vertical and was known to pick up a 285 pound nba player with one hand! You go to war with him playing bump and crushing ball! Your getting hurt! Wilt played Against, Nate Thurmond, Kareem, Russell, Reid, Artis Gilmore, don’t tell me Wilts competition was not good. Lots of ignorance on Wilt in modern basketball
Would’ve made Shaq look like a little kid
Wilt>MJ
what
I dunno
@@possible_12 that is a mathematical sign saying wilt is greater than Michael jordon

Two different positions...you really can't compare.
Wilt blocked r
Good take Coach Allen. Too many old heads are biased towards Wilt. Per 75 possessions, his stats aren’t actually that impressive.
shaq would literally pass out every game if he played in wilt's fast paced era.
Shaq always struggle against athletic and strong bigs. Usually shorter ones like Rodman and Wallace but anyone who could out muscle him always gave him issues.
