This new knock the old days bit is kinda laughable. Wilt would anally rape Eddy Curry and anyone who thinks otherwise is a POS troll.

Wilt was a world class athlete and dominated a generation from a statistical standpoint so severely that no will ever come close to that ever again.

Yes the game was different then, but it wasn't prehistoric.

OP is a tw@t

A good couple of games maketh not a good comparison. Prime body of work versus prime body of work means Eddy gets worked...hard

Young Curry held his own with prime Shaq.

Could Curry put up 24/24/8 on 68% for a 68 win championship team?

I don't support the premise of the thread, but could Wilt put up those numbers today and lead a team to a championship?

Not those exact numbers, but he might lead the league in scoring, rebounding and blocked shots.

Curry.

Old era game is just so weak compared to today's game.

[GIF REACTION]

Damn. Curry was athletic as hell for an out of shape, 30 pounds overweight dude. Just makes me shake my head more at what he could have been.

Put him on the current Warriors and he could get close. The spacing problems would give opposing coaches nightmares. Pick up their tempo, make Klay/Curry more agressive shooting while running the offensethrough Wilt similar to what the Bulls did with Noah and you likely have a team that could win it all...How could he not get close to those numbers on the right team, and how could he not lead a team like that past this year's cavs?

24 points? On a team like that if you gave him the touches he could get 40 a night. But they likely wouldn't win anything. While also getting 15-18 rebounds, 5-8 assists.

Oh and Curry would make a great Wall against Wilt. A big guy no matter what can be hard to move around...But curry might die trying to keep up with him..And even if Curry denied his spot, wilt would just fade and score. Shaq would have whipped the floor with him too, though I think Curry nipped at a small flaw in Shaq's game if you could call it that. But I've never seen the two go at it, so take that how you will and flush that turd of a thought down the toilet if you like

What about the 7-0 Stanley Roberts?

http://www.si.com/vault/2002/12/23/334678/his-own-worst-enemy-when-they-were-both-7-foot-phenoms-at-lsu-stanley-roberts-schooled-his-buddy-shaquille-oneal-why-then-was-roberts-such-a-bust-in-the-nba-and-why-does-everybody-still-love-him


Pippen saw it firsthand. One night in Chicago in March 1992, with
the last-place Magic down by 20 and nine minutes left, Roberts
stirred to life. He blocked a Michael Jordan shot, followed his
own missed foul shot with a dunk and slammed home three other
baskets to cap an 18-point, nine-rebound night and lead Orlando
to one of that season's most stunning comebacks. Normally, those
Bulls would never compliment anyone who'd embarrassed them, but
Pippen and Jordan grabbed Roberts around the neck after the game.
"If you played like that every night," Pippen said, "do you know
how rich and famous you could be?"


That he can't see the damage to this day is part of the mystery
of Stanley Roberts. So is his blindness to how great a player he
could've been. Dale Brown, who was the LSU coach during Roberts's
and O'Neal's one season together, 1989--90, wasn't alone in
considering Roberts the better pro prospect. When the 17-year-old
O'Neal arrived in Baton Rouge in the summer of 1989 as the most
hotly pursued recruit in the land, Brown told him he might get a
chance to play as a freshman. After all, Roberts, a Proposition
48 sophomore heading into his first college season, had hammered
Alonzo Mourning in the McDonald's High School All-American game
in 1988 and had been just as coveted as O'Neal.

When the 19-year-old Roberts met O'Neal down on the LSU practice
court known as the Dungeon to face off for the first time, people
scrambled to drag in chairs. Might play? The first time O'Neal
got the ball, he slammed right over Roberts, and Roberts returned
the favor. The next four possessions went like that: Two 7-foot,
290-pound mastodons colliding, Boom! Six times up and down the
floor, six straight dunks. Onlookers howled, and teammates jawed
at Roberts, "This is your house! Your house!"

Then, abruptly, Roberts switched gears. He took the ball on the
wing, and as Shaq stood in the lane, waiting, never thinking to
go guard him, Roberts lofted an 18-footer over his head and in.
O'Neal was frozen--and, worse, exposed. It hit Roberts at once:
You can't come out. I got you. O'Neal's feet were still heavy,
awkward, size 22 to Roberts's 16. His game was all height and
force. Roberts rained jumpers over O'Neal, and the few times Shaq
dared to step out, Roberts cut around him and dunked. On the
other end Roberts learned quickly how to time Shaq's jump hook
and slap it away, how to shiver Shaq with a forearm to the chest
at the foul line and halt his momentum before he got into the
lane, how to frustrate him until he lost focus.

"When we played each other in the NBA, he was the only one who
ever really slowed me down," O'Neal says of Roberts. "His game is
just like mine: Big, funny, silly--but he can shoot. I can't."

Stanley should have played in Euroleague.

Bring Wilt to the current era and develop him from elementary school age like kids do today with better training, more time spent in the gym, better shoes etc. and he would destroy any NBA big man in the game right now.

No doubt. His reported 39 inch vertical (newspaper source Cavs dug up) would be a few inches better today, he was naturally strong, he was sprinter fast, he was long, and he had huge hands.

With today's coaching and guys like Hakeem to emulate, his game would be all that more refined. Would own the NBA.

A bigger, stronger, more athletic Dwight with Hakeem skills and Jordan scoring ability around the hoop, Mutombo defensive capabilities, Walton passing. Unreal.

Prime OP vs Prime Belladonna. What can take the bigger dick?
