Message: [QUOTE="nwhoopfan, post: 3440460, member: 7894"] I wasn't around then. To me Wilt benefited by being a guy that was a generation ahead of everybody else physically. There was nobody else like him in the 60s. Kareem was about a decade behind Wilt, he didn't put up the same kind of rebounding numbers but he was pretty darn dominant in the late 60s/throughout the 70s. Their careers only overlapped a little. To me you take any of the big, athletic and talented centers from the 80s/90s, transport them back to 1959 and they do the same thing Wilt did. Shaq, Robinson, Ewing, Olajuwon, they all would've annihilated the competition from that era. Wilt was a physical freak who was just ahead of his time. [/QUOTE]
