Don't forget Nate Thurmond breh. Willing to bet he would've locked up a lot of modern post-up guys because he was more physical than Kareem, Bellamy etc. in that era of back-to-the-basket guys so I bet he could body and frustrate some of the best today.

Old Wilt vs Young Kareem
Overall (28 games)

Chamberlain: 16.1 rpg, 18.2 rpg, 3.4 apg on 52.6 %FG/48.6 %FT/53.1 %TS
Abdul-Jabbar: 31.0 ppg, 16.4 rpg, 3.9 apg on 46.4 %FG/71.6 %FT/49.1 %TS

If you know me you know that I dislike Wilt. I still maintain he was a fukkin' quitter in Game 7 in the '69 Finals. But he held his own for an old geezer against Kareem. Apparently Kareem got his points but had to work extra hard to score. Kareem average 56% shooting but against Wilt it was only 46%.

I think by that point we knew wilt wouldn't be able to put the ball in the basket like he used to but he was still effective. So no hate for that blow hard @dantheman9758 or Wilt this go around.
