Wilt still looked svelte 20 years after his playing days were over. I wonder if Shaq is going to look the same in 20 years.
"Shaquille didn't have quite the same athleticism that Wilt had,"Jackson said according to the L.A. Times. "He had the bounce and he had the speed, but he didn't have the endurance."
"Shaq was a post sprinter. He'd go and get in the lane," Jackson explained.
Wilt was never much of a post sprinter. He used to take his time. When he rebounded, a lot of times he'd make the guards come back to him to get the ball - so he'd be down there when the ball got to the other end of the court."
