If Wilt Chamberlain played in today's game...?

Q: Would he be the most dominant player in the game? or A top 5 center? or An average center?

A: I think it's fair to say he'd be a lot like Shaq. Puttin' up numbers around 25-30 points a game, 12-15 rebounds, and 3 or 4 blocks. Wilt was built sort of like Andrew Bynum. Long limbs and deceptively bulky (275 pounds). He was also very athletic. I wonder how many centers today came be competitve in track and field events like long jumping, high jumping, and hurdles. Wilt did all that stuff, and was good at it. Being that athletic while benching almost 500 pounds. So, get the imagine of the big guy, with short shorts, laying the ball up over 6'4" white centers out of your head, and imagine a player, 7'1", 275 pounds, with those physical gifts, combined with today's training and advanced workout regimens. A player like that coulld easily be dominant in this league. Not 100 point game, 50 point average dominant, but Shaq like dominant.
