[QUOTE=RRR3]By OP's "logic" Roy Hibbert (7'2 280) should be DOMINATING today's NBA. Why isn't he????[/QUOTE]
Triple R, how tall was Jordan? That MJ guy? How about all those 7 footers in everybodies top ten list today?
[QUOTE=Pointguard]Remind you this was 7 years before his athletic prime.[/QUOTE]
Interesting. My next question is why couldn't he shoot a better percentage? Did he not jump far enough half the time? Did it have to be a dunk? Or could he just lay it up? :wtf:

"B-b-b-b-b-but Jordan was a guard!"
LOL @ OP trying to discredit someone for being tall. WTF
[QUOTE=RRR3]Clyde Lovellette is in the Hall of Fame, dumbass, how the hell was he a scrub? :facepalm
Walter Dukes was a two-time All-Star, Ray Felix was an All-Star and won ROY, and Red Kerr was a 3-time all-star. Stop making up crap.[/QUOTE]
What a retard, first of Clyde Lovellette wasn't on the list I commented on. And secondly, the guy doesn't deserve to be a HOF.. He was never in his career considered to be a top 10 player, on the MVP ranking he made the 12th spot twice, that's not HOF-quality...:facepalm
Walter Dukes was a joke, the first time he was on the all-star team he averaged 15.2 points per game on 36% shooting which is just pathetic and only 13 rebounds which is not impressive at all in that high paced era. And his 2nd time as an all-star he averaged 11.7 points per game on 40% shooting and 14 rebounds. The guy was terrible.
Ray Felix was an all-star in '53, the center quality was even worse then and Wilt only faced the out of prime Felix a la 8 points on 40% shooting..:facepalm
Red Kerr was 6'9 and if I recall correctly he didn't even jump on his JUMPERS which says alot about his skillset... :facepalm

You'd do well to consider eras before just spouting off BS anyways, they were considered all-stars at the time, regardless of whether some gender-confused kid from sweden thinks so or not. Also, since by your logic, Lovellette can't be a HOF since he never was in the top 10 in MVP voting, James Worthy and Earl Monroe aren't HOF'ers either.
[QUOTE=Clippersfan86]Actually I wasn't going by size. I was naming two elite centers from the 2000-2006 era. In terms of size... Sabonis, Z, Smits, Yao and a few others had the bulk to match Shaq... something Wilt didn't face in his era.[/QUOTE]
Those guys could barely move and weren't reknown for defense. When Wilt scored 50ppg he was running like Amare. Those guys are fish food for sharks to Wilt.
There were two other guys during Wilt's time that could handle Kareem (If Thurmond was effective at doing it and he was third befind Russell and Wilt defensively) and there wasn't anybody since then that could. Young Reed also did a decent job here and there on Kareem. 7'7 Manute couldn't contain Kareem so this height argument is falling apart quickly.
Also I would rather have Rodman guarding Shaq than any of the stiffs named above.

RRR3, I see you have left the buttyboy status, did Jlauber taste any good?
Watch the freaking eras, guys like Kerr were all-stars in that era, the same Kerr shot with both his hands while not leaving the floor. Are you going to compare him with James Worthy?
You are way more stupid then what I thought, I mean, I've never really had any contact with you other then the time when we PM'd about the amount of time you spend on ISH, but damn, you're retarded.
Is KC Jones a legit HOF:er too then?:facepalm
And I find it funny that you try to insult me a la calling me a gender-confused swede, dude, you are lonely and lame as hell, internet stalker a la IDA LJUNGQVIST, wanking to her pics on daily basis. :facepalm
You spend crazy amount of time on ISH, I bet you don't even have any friends mr 30 post per day average.

Tex Winters saw Wilt playing around doing this and was on a committee that out ruled it. So Wilt never had a chance to implement it. Yeah, weird right. Cause I would be shocked if anybody now could do a three step dunk from the foul line.

Just like Wilt was a great "shooter" and crushed a players toe (bones) due dunking on it, how someone said that he was a worldclass volleyballer player etc... Can't believe that you guys actually believe everything you hear..
Guys like Wilt and Russell were great in their days and therefore deserve their spots on the all-time lists.. But retarded elderly posters here who believe Wilt actually fought a mountain lion.. had sex with 20.000 woman or could dunk from the freethrow line with only taking 3 steps.. Please kill yourselves.
The truth is Wilt would probable be nothing more then say a Roy Hibbert (or Deandre Jordan if you're gonna argue athleticism) but why does that matter, they were still dominant as hell in their day.
List of centers over 7 foot 4, 300 pounds in Yao Ming's time:
...
....uhhhmmmmmmmm...
Therefore, Yao Ming competed against those that were far shorter and weighed less than him, therefore he should be discredited for anything he did.
This thread = :facepalm
[QUOTE=Clippersfan86]Sabonis- 7'3 290 pounds (was probably more heavy too).
Yao- 7'6 305 pounds.
Smits- 7'3 260 pounds.
Big Z- 7'3 265 pounds.
Obviously they are still a lot smaller than Shaq but they were big/strong enough to put up more of a challenge than Wilt had. As I said.... a few of these centers did indeed have their moments against Shaq.[/QUOTE]
And prime Shaq weighed in at 320+.....Yao is the closest, those other were still 60 pounds off....That's like Wilt going against guys 220-240.
