Was looking at these clips of Wilt's dunks and thought that Rudy can do some of them. His dunk over Porzingis was worthy of this reel.

Years ago Knicks announcer Clyde Frazier, who used to play against Wilt(1970 Championship), said Rudy had a frame like him. In some of these clips especially the black and white ones when he was really skinny you can see the resemblance.


Wilt's measurements are a debated topic I've settled on him being somewhere around 7'1" with a 7'9" wingspan and a 9'8" standing reach. Which are nearly identical to Rudy's.

Watching these clips I couldn't help but think that Rudy should use the basket to protect the ball on reverses a bit more, he's got the length to do that sort of stuff regularly.
 
Reserving the first 2 posts so I can update this thread with some of Rudy's best dunks.

I know you now your ball so I'm not telling you, pgab, anything you don't know, but Wilt was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more athletic than Rudy.

The thing about Wilt was that he was amazingly powerful, perhaps one of the strongest men who ever lived, and in those days they didn't lift weights like they do now -- but a gentle giant, a little arrogant but much more personable than say, Jabbar.
 
I heard Rudy also hooked up with 20,000 women. Difference is Wilt did it over a career, Rudy did it last night.
 
Best center in the NBA.

Probably have to give that title to Marc Gasol with how crazy he has been even with Conley/Parsons out.
 
Can't argue a ton with Gasol but Rudy is narrowing the gap.

Rudy's averages the last 5 games:

17.0 PPG, 14.0 RPG, 3.6 BPG, shooting 79% from the floor and 72% from the line. He's averaging 17 ppg on 6.6 field goal attempts per game. That is ABSURD.
 
Wilt ran the 220 hurdles. His favorite sport was volleyball. He had a 40+ inch vertical. The guy was incredible.

Rudy is awesome too though...
