Re: List of players over 7 foot, 230 pounds in Wilt's time
[QUOTE=-23-]And who the **** are you? Another Wilt dick sucker? How's all that *** taste you daft pig. The fact that you can believe he can dunk the FT on 3 steps makes you a ****in moron.
:no: Not even a video of him ever SHOWING him cover both horizontal or vertical feats to dunk the FT line, let alone in 3 steps.
You'd think, something like that would be filmed, or at least a picture taken?[/QUOTE]
First off it's more than capable of being done... Wilt use to do it in practice by getting a three to four step running start. Don't forget this is a guy who held NCAA records for the high jump and triple jump besides being a basketball standout. He never did it in a game, even Wilt admits to that but he did do it with the Harlem Globetrotters in his time there. Not sure if doing it against the New Jersey Generals counts
As for being filmed they didn't even film playoff games most of the time back then. And even those that were filmed are long gone now... Just a handful of films from that era remain
Ask yourself this if it's impossible to do why did the NCAA and one year later the NBA both put rules in place to ban players from jumping or taking steps while shooting free throws.

[QUOTE=PHILA]Bynum can't even run with Wilt, Russell & Thurmond up the court. How is he supposed to compete with them when he can't even keep up without getting gassed. After a quarter of fighting Wilt for position under the boards he would look towards Coach Brown on the bench to pull him for a breather. Against Wilt & Nate he would be at a length disadvantage as well. He'd be unable to outreach, outmuscle, outposition, outquick, outjump, outrun, and ultimately outplay either of them. Wilt would block all of shot his attempts, while Nate would forbid him from even looking at the basket.
Can you say with a straight face that Bynum can run with Russell or even an overweight Bellamy?

[I]However, Nate’s admiration for the centers of today is obvious.
“I really like the centers that are coming out now,” he says. “They’re talented, quick, and agile. Most importantly, they have good footwork and lateral movement. That’s why I like Duncan and KG (Kevin Garnett). They have the athleticism.”
When I look at a center, I immediately ask, ‘can he run?’ [SIZE=4][B]You can’t coach a stiff. I want a guy that can run, not a galoof.[/B][/SIZE] Most guys today can run.”[/I][/I]

Re: List of players over 7 foot, 230 pounds in Wilt's time
Shaq a stiff? He could run the floor great and jump with anyone at 340 lbs. Very quick feet as well.
Where do you think Shaq got that baseline spin? That was Wilt's move in the old days.
How often has Bynum shown such quickness in the pivot?

Re: List of players over 7 foot, 230 pounds in Wilt's time
[QUOTE=-23-]You'd have to be a retard to think he can dunk from the FT-line with 3 steps. Like an actual ****ing retard. How ****ing stupid are you? :facepalm
He'd have to jump with a 50" vertical to gain the horizontal distance to cover that distance, from 3 steps. You're a ****ing moron, never post again.[/QUOTE]
:lol Like you are remotely smart enough to pretend knowing how high he had to get. You can't even hold a smart conversation on your better days.
Wilt, at Kansas triple jumped 45 feet plus - That's the distance from half court line to out of bounds - this is a little less than what women do today but I seen a Russian lady do 50 feet without much speed and I assure it wasn't a 50 inch vertical. Wilt long jumped 22 feet about 6 more feet needed for a foul line leap. The question is how much explosion momentum can Wilt get in three steps? I don't know and you don't know. We know he was very explosive. But I trust Tex Winters more than I do you. You think he could be in charge of rules if he was making things up.

[QUOTE=-23-]It does not take a engineer to conclude that a 250lb+ guy has to jump 18" (horizontal distance), while the effects of DRAG, and GRAVITY are pulling you down. How much speed you think he can get from 3 steps while losing over 2 feet a second while in the air?[/QUOTE]
I don't see any calculations here.....surely you can put up some calculations.
