well these smaller guys spudd, nate, etc. all athletic, but it's much easier to be athletic when you are small. i see 5ft 9 or under guys dunking every place i go to. and there are tons of insane leapers under 5ft 9 everywhere nowdays.
but it's really hard to be athletic when you are so big. normal 7ft 1 guy who is over 330lb like shaq usually ends up in a wheel chair by mid 30's. human aren't supposed to be so big and carry so much weight. shaq was an unique human being.
and wilt too.
very interesting picture. i think it's pretty accurate depiction. obviously shaq on this pic was around 315lb.
wilt was actually wider than shaq. but shaq had thicker and more massive core. i believe wilt also had longer leg. shaq's upper body was just massive. just naturally thick guy.
if wilt was born in 1972 like shaq did, i bet wilt would've easily played at 310lb in his peak because of nutrition and training. wilt did weigh 300lb but it was much later.
