Before Wilt played in the NBA, he played for the Harlem Globetrotters. One of stunts they did was for Wilt to pick Meadowlark Lemon up and toss him in the air several feet and then continue on with whatever play it is they had. Meadowlark stated that he weighed 210 pounds at the time and is on record as saying that "Chamberlain may be the strongest man to ever play the game". It would take a pretty strong man to throw someone the size of Lemon several feet up in the air. I have no doubt he could more than easily hold is own. When Wilt played for the Lakers he was right at 300 pounds as well. The difference between the two is he was a chisled (in shape) 300 pounds. Heck, it may be that Shaq is the one that wouldn't have been able to handle Wilt.

Did you ever see Wilt play zaga fan?

Never saw the man play live.
He was retired before I was born.
I'm an old school guy and have collected countless old basketball games and highlights and have a lot of Wilt actually, even some of his pre-globetrotter stuff.
He is without a doubt one of the best, maybe the best, but I can't say because that's up to opinion.
Watching him move up and down the court and blow past smaller players like he was a guard is amazing to say the least.
My argument is simply that you can't compare the men accurately since they played in separate generations.
Shaq was 1 when Wilt retired.
It's like Michael Jordan and Lebron to the 3rd degree.
I can't stand Lebron on any plain of existence
But I'm not so sure that if him and Jordan went one-on-one when Jordan was at the top of his game that Lebron wouldn't be able to handle him on offense and defense.
However.....
I will never know.
