I tried to present these highlights with respect to both legends - but due to available media, the narrative is more focused on Wilt's side of things. Both of these titans are two of the greatest of all time. Wilt Chamberlain: 7-1 1/16th w/o shoes 7-8 wingspan 290-300+lbs when he played vs Kareem Wilt was between the ages of 34 and 36 at the time. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: 7-1 7/8th w/o shoes 7-5 wingspan 228-237lbs when he played vs Wilt Kareem was between the ages of 24 and 26 at the time. www.draftexpress.com/measurements I challenge anyone to find greater physical specimens playing at such an elite level in the NBA today. 8,778 Comments rongmaw lin Add a comment...

Of course your strength diminishes. There's a point in everyone's life where they hit peak testosterone and it plateaus. You don't gain testosterone after you peak, it lowers and lowers as you get older. Of course by staying in shape you can stop it from reducing as quickly, but you'll still be losing it and therefore losing strength. Lol your strength stays the same haha, you trying to tell me when you're 30 you'll still be shifting the same weights as when you're 70-80? 8 Brandon Campbell Brandon Campbell 1 year ago Wilt as an old man got the best of a young Kareem.

I remember it because I was a sophomore in high school and had a 50 cent bet that the Lakers would win the series. Each night it went back and forth. The seventh game won by the Lakers. It was like watching Ali vs Frazier's Thrilla in Manilla. It was a war. 169 Simply simple 7 Simply simple 7 2 years ago It’s like prime kobe vs over the hill MJ. Wilt was in his later years whereas kareem was primed and ready. Great athletes regardless. 2.1K Chris Custer Chris Custer 2 years ago This was as inspiring a Chamberlain video as ever I've seen. The great and very proud Wilt the Stilt continues to attest that he was the best center in the league, but that Russell always had the far better team. Later, humbly, Wilt admits he is no longer the best center; the young lion Jabbar has proven himself as the best in the league. Yet, even after admitting he was only 2nd best, Chamberlain went to work on his defense, figuring out how best to guard Jabbar, how best to shoot against Jabbar, and how to snuff his intimidating Kareem's intimidating sky hook. Wilt Chamberlain's resilience was amazing! 426 Ron Matthews Ron Matthews 1 year ago Kareem need his own 30 for 30.There was a reason he developed that sky hook.He was playing against Wilt . 33 thechannelitrollwith thechannelitrollwith 2 years ago I feel like young Wilt would be able to go head on with Kareem and snatch a lot more of those out of the air. He was such a freak athlete that he was still doing well against a young Kareem is crazy. 30 Marco Filippetti Marco Filippetti 8 months ago Wilt is basiclly how an Avenger looks like in real life 17 Mega Man Mega Man 2 years ago (edited) Kareem is the only person that makes Wilt look slightly human 1.7K Jacob DeLuca Jacob DeLuca 1 year ago That moment when the ref stood between them and they just stared each other down......legendary moment between 2 greats 21 The Professor The Professor 4 months ago I’m watching this while Giannis and the Bucks play AD and the Lakers. 5 Cloud Students Cloud Students 1 year ago (edited) Kareem dominated Wilt in the first part of the video.
