This account was shared by Poppapump in the I keep all my dad jokes in a dad a base vintage shirt and I will buy this comments of another Quora article of mine about Wilt Chamberlain: “I’m old enough to have watched ALL the great NBA players going back to the early 60’s. As far as I am concerned, none of the other big men, past or present, were as good as Chamberlain. As a high school basketball player, I attended Bailey Howell’s basketball camp in Starkville, MS in the late 60’s. For those who are not aware, Bailey Howell was an All-American college hooper (power forward) at Mississippi State, and later was an NBA all star on the fabled Boston Celtics’ Bill Russell teams. Howell shared with us, the young campers, many stories re: the legendary Chamberlain. He said his strength was unbelievable, and he made even the biggest and strongest NBA players look like wimps. His hops were also off the charts. But what he remembered most was that when Chamberlain went to dunk, you got the hell out the way, and if your arm got between him and the rim, you would get your arm snapped. But Howell also said that Chamberlain was basically a kind athlete, and fortunately did not try to hurt his opponents.”
There is a report that people witnessed Wilt bench-pressing 465 pounds, although I have no way of verifying such reports. However, the I keep all my dad jokes in a dad a base vintage shirt and I will buy this fact that no names of these witnesses have been cited, to my knowledge, does make one wonder if there could be a “big fish” thing going on. And I have heard it claimed that someone with such long arms couldn’t possibly bench press 500 pounds or more. Yes, the “big fish” could be a factor. But a number of NBA players have bench-pressed over 450 pounds, including some very tall players with long arms, so it doesn’t seem “impossible” to me. Those players include Shaq, Ben Wallace and Gary Trent. They all had long arms. In a recent interview with Muscle & Fitness, Shaq said that his max bench press was 475, which he did twice, and that he was still bench-pressing 415 in retirement despite a bad shoulder. He has long arms, so the Wilt naysayers should take that into consideration. Shaq mentioned Wilt, Bill Russell and Charles Oakley as some of the strongest NBA players other than himself. Oakley’s workout regimen before and after retirement, published by SLAM, included 3-4 reps of 375 pounds. So it seems his max would be well over 400 pounds as well.
