No matter what way you try to slice it those guys peaks do not in any way shape or form touch Wilt's. Prime? Perhaps it's debatable due to rings if they are that important to you. But actual individual peak performance? GTFOH the guy owns the record book and nobody has ever even come close to rewriting it. Seriously some of these poll results are flat out embarrassing.[/QUOTE]

Re: ISH: Where MJ and Shaq allegedly had a higher peak than Wilt Chamberlain

As a skinny rookie in '59, Chamberlain could clean & jerk 265 lbs & military press 210 lbs. By the mid 60's those numbers increased to 435 lbs & 400 lbs. According to esteemed author Gary M. Pomerantz in Wilt, 1962: The Night of 100 Points And the Dawn of a New Era, Chamberlain could deadlift 625 lbs. Today his playing weight would likely be around 315-320 lbs, which was not as suited for the up & down style of the era. Remember he did report to camp 315.

Consider the following: he has run the quarter mile in 49 seconds flat, bettered 6 feet 7 in the high jump, put the shot 51 feet, can lift 265 pounds in the clean-and-jerk and 210 in the military press. For none of these feats did Chamberlain prepare himself through normal training; they were casual, offhand achievements by an athlete who has always devoted his free time and effort to basketball.[/I]

Not sure if "with" he actually might have just lifted on his own for most of the period he was working with him for a movie (though friends of Wilt's do suggest he lifted in the gym with Arnie at least once) - I just know that he weight trained pretty much his whole life but was particularly active for / during the production of Conan the Destroyer - and at the time he was weighed at a very trim looking 327lbs

I will be 55 in a few months, the age he was when I interviewed him. This gives me a whole new appreciation for that interview. It is natural at this age to reflect on one's decisions in life, to contemplate making the most of the good years that remain.
Wilt seemed in far better shape then than I am now, absolutely no gut, sculpted in his tight T-shirt. The world never fully appreciated what an athlete he was. During the filming of Conan the Destroyer, with Arnold Schwarzenegger, [B][SIZE="4"]Wilt said he put five 50-pound weights on his rib cage, elevated his feet on an incline board, and did 30 sit-ups.
"Arnold couldn't believe it," Wilt said. "He wouldn't even try it."
[/SIZE][/B]
When I met him that day in 1991, the Sixers had just retired his number, and he told me that was "the most moving day of my life." So many fans thanking him. "I should have been the one saying 'Thank you,' " he said.
Wilt died in 1999.
He would have loved the video homage to him the Sixers showed Monday night and will again many times this season to reconnect the team with its legacy.
The man was undeniably Philadelphia's greatest homegrown athlete. He was large, and he was larger than life. And thanks, Wilt, for sharing one day with me.[/I]

Cavs.. what do you say to people who say that the # of possessions per game and pace of the 60s/70s was much faster than the 90s or 00s and also the fact that there were much less games to play during the season and especially in the playoffs, where you only had to win 2 playoff seasons for a championship :facepalm
Also just because wilt has the best peak as far as numbers makes him the superior peak player. It's a little fishy that Wilt's peak was 5 years apart (you said his peak was in 62 and 67) while Jordan had essentially a decade long peak and Shaq a little less (7-8 years).
Also both Jordan and Shaq had much more impressive playoff and finals peaks than wilt, showing up big when it really mattered. Both were also forced to play much more playoff games to win their champions (16 games to 8).

Re: ISH: Where MJ and Shaq allegedly had a higher peak than Wilt Chamberlain
[QUOTE=Deuce Bigalow]So 2 years before he died he could bench press more than 465 pounds?[/QUOTE]
He thinks he can - that doesn't mean he actually could. What comes out of his mouth wasn't the important bit, he's always exaggerated or been over-confident in his own abilities to some extent. But it's what the other person says is the important bit. I like how you glossed right over it lol

Ok, you guys can stick to your high amount of weight Wilt could pick up.
But, lets talk about vertical because we actually have picture of Wilt.
40"+ vertical looks like

[QUOTE=CavaliersFTW]Right, every person who ever witnessed Wilt do something or other is a liar because a 20 year old couch expert like yourself "knows" about lifting :oldlol:
315lbs in this pic, 327lbs when he was working out in the 80's - and yall think he can't lift as much weight as 250lb people cause you sit on your pc's and look at pics of how much more "buff" the 6-3 250lb dudes looked in their professional photo shoots and football gear

Side by side Wilt would dwarf those people. Not just in height - but in stature and ever other dimension due to his significantly greater body mass.[/QUOTE]
Actually i've been lifting for close to 10 years now, obviously you never have as you believe bullshit figures like those:lol
I think its you who sits behind his PC watching shitty old footage of Wilt and fapping. Telling all of us how much he weighed and how great he was:lol
Worse than a LeBron stan...
