No way. A little over 8% of the league were 7 footers in the 1999-00 season. Idk how many total players played from 1959-1973, but you would divide the 15 7’ players wilt played by the total number of player in that span. If the league had 200 players or more in the span in question (which I guarantee they did at the very least considering the league had a minimum of 120 players each year). Some of which are the same players, so it’s impossible to know without looking up all the players total in the time span. Anyway, the percentage of 7 footers would be less than the 8% in Shaq’s time, possibly much less, if there were at least 200 players in that span. So if you argue that they had more 7 footers back then, you’d probably be very wrong Also, I didn’t even mention that the old 7 footers in the 60s weren’t like the 7 footers today. There was no foreign talent, so it was all just Americans. Now, the whole world plays basketball, so there is a much larger talent pool to choose from. Not to mention, the NBA used to limit the amount of African Americans by adding extra restrictions on who can play in the league, like the rule that you have to graduate college. Completely different league back then that has no right to be compared to the league today. Shaq would dominate wilt like he was just any another 7 footer
Top 15 ? Thats a joke ? Shaq is easily Top 10, for me he’s around Top 5, and he has a Top 3 peak ever only rivaled by MJ and Bron .. And when you add his 3 FMVP and 4 Titles+ his 30k career points, yeah he’s easily a Top 10 player lol, better than Kobe who never reached a GOAT peak like even a guy like Jokic, in fact i think Jokic is the modern Shaq, he had a dominant 3-4 years, putting GOAT stats since 2020 and winning 3 MVP, but i don’t think he’ll win another one, Shaq was the best player in the league between MJ and Lebron, and Jokic is the best player in the league between Lebron and probably Wemby, and Jokic is already close to Top 10 for me, so Shaq is definitely Top 10
Shaq is not better then kobe Idek how you ppl think this when kobe factually won and did more without shaq then shaq did without kobe. And kobe was getting them through the west playoffs when they played actual comp and not whatever weak east team they met in the finals with their horrid bigs. If shaq never 3 peated with Kobe nobody would even consider him a top 10 player that’s the sole reason you ppl rank him that high. Prior to 2000 he was doing nothing but getting swept with good to great teams. post the 3 peat outside of being carried by Wade and be the 3rd leading scorer in the 06 finals for Miami he did nothing but ring chase joining superstar after superstar. Just to get swept even more. He ain’t better then kobe and damn sure ain’t no goat. Shaq don’t even have no expandable game it’s just size and strength
@@rdslv_st if we’re picking an individual season Westbrook Hard and Wilt are up there. But how did u leave out MJ? 87-88 MJ is the goat szn. Scoring title, MVP, DPOY, 35 a game and 3.2 steals a game. Westbrook and Harden are in my top 5 favorite players ever but Harden wouldn’t be known for a one year peak. His run from 14-15 season through the 19-20 season was an insane stretch. But with Westbrook yes, he never had another season that was comparable to 16-17
7:11 There was plenty you could do with Shaq if you had the defensive personal it just took 2 large elite defensive bigs like the spurs in 99, blazers in the 2000 wcf who took LA to 7 where kobe outplayed shaq, or like the spurs in 01 who only lost thanks to kobe outplaying everyone. He just happened to enter his prime right when the center position was becoming weak. Shaqs offensive game was extremely 1 dimensional, to a fault

Facts
once he gets more recognition, he probably would post less as well.
yoo true. Damn I feel like that bozo in ratatouille who took a bite and got blindsided in nostalgia 😂
Fr he deserves all the subs makes great content!
0:40 no way they put “broken backboards” as a real stat 😭😭
As if you can break a board 😂
Draymond: Ah, I can shutdown Shaq.
NBA: We had to redesign basketball goals and supports because of him.
Rodman: I SHUT down Shaq.
6:00 There were eight teams when Wilt played, compared to the 29 during Shaq's era. I'd argue that made 7 footers more, not less common. Great video

100%, if I’m building a team to win me one game. Shaq is my starting center it’s not even close. As great as Kareem is Shaq would make him crumble.

kobe did reach goat peak plus if we talking one year primes he is barely top 4 Westbrook Harden and Wilt are top 3 (not in order)

@@nickm2334not mentioning Steph's unanimous MVP peak is criminal.
The new thumbnails are so fire bro

the sensational edit was insanely tuff much respect for that
99 standing dunk in real life
“I was terrified out there against Michael” - Shaq 😭😭 he said it himself!

Just box him out bro
You should make a vid about the lob city clippers
Imagine shaq could shot free throws😮
Your are jimmy at home but actually good and mom belike:"U see? I told u"
I bet if Shaq worked out like Kobe, just his size and weight would have destroyed his knees.
Underrated
@Post-2k69 oh dang thank you

shaq would break wilt
Hakeem. The. Dream.
He is not top 15, he is a top 10 player
Good video but no shit Shaq faced more 7 footers there was 8 teams in the league when wilt plated therefore less center to face
