just remember that if you compare Wilt to other centers...or try and place him in other eras..

you can't put the wilt you see in this video into a more modern era with bigger opponents....and NOT give him a modern game.

There are only a handful of dunks on this video.... what you see is a restrained power. Wilt could not play an all out power game with forceful dunks and power moves. He had to play a more finesse game because of the times...he was the biggest dude out there...a Black man..playing basketball in the Midwest. He spoke on how he had to restrain his power so to not hurt any of his opponents.

Put Wilt in a modern game ...a modern style...freely dunking...freely using his strength and power..

He would have destroyed Shaq and the like...lolol... Are you kidding me? Thats' a 7 foot 1 250 pound dude running the court like that.... Those times when he dipped and did finger rolls, or used the glass...if he was in an era where the dunk was the norm he would have been even more devastating...

The only guy who really could give him a challenge would have been Kareem in his prime because he could have come close athletically and would have been able to challenge Wilt with the sky hook....

but anyone else...it's not going down. Russell and the Celtics would team up on Wilt..if we're talking 1 player vs. 1 player.... nobody is fukkin with Wilt in any era...

peep the passing out of the triple teams....the rebounding....

can't fukk with him.
