Wilton Norman "Wilt" Chamberlain was an American basketball player. He was born on August 21, 1936 in Philadelphia and died on October 12, 1999 in Los Angeles due to heart failure. ...read more. A lot like Shaq, but Wilt was taller, stronger, faster, and a MUCH better jumper.
I believe it's quite obvious.

Shaquille Rashaun O'Neal, nicknamed Shaq, is a retired American professional basketball player who is currently an analyst on the television program Inside the NBA. He is known for his fun, friendly personality, and is one of the most beloved athletes of all time. Shaq is better than the dream. That Greg guy shouldn't even be on here.

Just 11 percent?

Then he got overshadowed by the NBA/ABA rivalry and then merger.
Then unfortunately played against the old Wilt and the young Kareem, who were of course better, but outside of them, almost nobody else who ever played was better, and Artis would EASILY be the best center in the NBA if he played today.
