Re: Andrew Bynum
It could be worse...I could compare players I've watched recently to all time greats and diminish everything they do because there aren't 30 billion youtube / sports center highlights pimping them.
Thank you for all the memories BRoy. You were a class act and brought hope to an entire region for 5 years. You will be missed.

Well, I'm not doing that so your point is irrelevant. I'm objectively comparing extant videos of Wilt Chamberlain with those of today's players, and it's fairly obvious that he would not be considered an elite level athlete in today's league.
And please, don't bring up stuff about high-jumping and what have you. Ryan Hollins and James White have freakish verticals but neither has the whole package the way a Shaq or Howard does. Same for Wilt.

Well, Wilt was a high jumper, and a sprinter, and a bench pressing machine.
Lol at BJ Mullens, this is the guy who can't even dominate the glass in high school all star games, I bet he would average like 30 boards if he had to play against average athletes like Wilt and Bill Russell.
You are like the anti-writerman, so far on the other end of the spectrum that you make yourself look foolish.
Wilt is the greatest athlete to ever play the sport, and possibly the greatest athlete to ever play a sport, even if you don't believe he had a 50 inch vertical(I think he was closer to 36).
