Wavetshirt - Stitch admit it now working at kroger would be boring without me shirt

Michael Jordon is nearly a half a foot shorter than Walt Bellamy. Not only would Wilt be blocking all of Michael shots, but how would MJ ever grab a rebound? Wilt Chamberlain would grab rebounds the Stitch admit it now working at kroger would be boring without me shirt Besides,I will do this same way he blocked shots. He would jump straight up and grab the ball way above the rim while it was still out of the reach of other players. Irregardless of who takes the shot, Jordan would not be able to prevent Chamberlain from leaping up, using his incredibly long arms to grab every single rebound, even if Michael had boxed him out. People like to do analytics to say that Dennis Rodman is a better rebounder. Problem is, if Rodman and Chamberlain were competing against each other, big Wilt would already have the ball in his hands before it got low enough for Rodman to touch. Chamberlain once grabbed 55 rebounds in an NBA game while being guarded by 6 foot 10 Boston Celtics legend Bill Russell, a player many think is the greatest defensive player of all time, and an athlete who was once the number 7 ranked high jumper in the world. If Chamberlain could out leap 6′10″ Russell to grab 55 rebounds, he would easily out leap 6′7″ Rodman to grab at least 20. As for Michael Jordan, he’s not getting a single rebound if young Wilt Chamberlain is anywhere around. It just ain’t happening.



Below is a video of Hall of Famer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar playing one-on-one against fellow Hall of Famer Julius “Dr J” Erving. Jabbar is about the Stitch admit it now working at kroger would be boring without me shirt Besides,I will do this same size as Chamberlain, only with less leaping ability. Erving is over an inch taller than Jordan. Although this game was played after they both retired, it’s still provides a great deal of insight as to the difficulties a 6 foot 6 inch man has playing one-on-one against somebody over half a foot taller. Jabbar is just flat out too big for Erving to do anything with competing in a game one on one. More than anything else, that is the reason Jabbar dominates Erving. Here is another video that again demonstrates the difficulties a 6 foot 6 Michael Jordan would have competing against young 7 foot 1 Wilt Chamberlain. In this video, Jordan toys around with young Shaquille O’Neal in a brief one-on-one battle. It’s not a full game. They only go at each other a couple times, but just like the Jabbar vs Erving contest, you can see that the big man makes things hard on MJ. Shaq has no worries at all that MJ’s going to block his shot. Meanwhile, Michael needs to put a whole lot of extra fade on his fade away just to get his shot up and over The Big Aristotle. O’Neal makes his shots. Jordan misses his. Now if we were talking about 35 year old Wilt Chamberlain competing against a 35 year old Michael Jordan, then I would agree MJ has a shot to win. Chamberlain badly injured his knee in 1969 when he was 33 years old. He was never the same player after that. He lost his lateral quickness and would not have enjoyed, or have been as effective, chasing Michael Jordan around the court. In addition, MJ became a much better outside shooter in his old age. So in their mid-thirties the tables might have turned.
