Who did the NBA change the rules against more. I know that Shaq was a big reason why zone defenses got legalized. But did they do anything else to take his advantages away like they tried to do to Wilt. I just read that the NBA widened the lane to keep him away from the basket, they outlawed offensive goaltending because he could just go up and get his teammates shots. They also banned throwing the ball over the backboard on an out of bounds play. Wilt was that damn dominant that they had to do all that or would it have happened anyway?

Wilt. But Shaq was a better player
I used to think Shaq would give him the business on the court, but Wilt would get his too and kill Shaq with his fadeaway jumper. And i dont think Shaq would bully him like that. Especially the Wilt that was in LA. That Wilt was over 300 pounds. Its still the one matchup other than Kobe vs Jordan in their primes i wish i could see.
