Wavetshirt - Texas A&M Aggies girl classy sassy and a bit smart assy vintage shirt

If both players were in their early to mid-20s, there’s no way in the Texas A&M Aggies girl classy sassy and a bit smart assy vintage shirt and I love this world Michael Jordan would beat Wilt Chamberlain one on one. Basketball fans are used to seeing photos and video of old Chamberlain on the Los Angeles Lakers in his mid-thirties, at 310 pounds and playing on a bum knee. Young Wilt Chamberlain was 50 pounds lighter and extremely athletic. He was a track star in both high school and college. He set State and Conference records competing in numerous events including the shot put, high jump, long jump, triple jump & mid distance running. He had a best in the long jump of over 24 feet in competition. That means he could have jumped from the three-point line and landed underneath the rim. (a distance of 23.75 feet)



At over 7 foot 1 measured in his bare feet, Wilt was more than a half a foot taller than Michael Jordan and has well over a foot in standing reach. His vertical leap was just as high as Jordan’s, if not higher. Chamberlain comments that his vertical leap (known then as a sergeant jump) was over four feet and offers the Texas A&M Aggies girl classy sassy and a bit smart assy vintage shirt and I love this photo below as proof! Chamberlain had unbelievable endurance. He routinely played every minute of basketball games and averaged 48 1/2 minutes played per game one season. Wilt would not get tired chasing Michael Jordan around. If anyone got tired or exhausted in a game between the two of them, it would likely be MJ. Jordan would have all kind of troubles getting a shot off with a 25 year old Wilt Chamberlain guarding him. He would never get a rebound and Chamberlain would shoot at will from anywhere he wanted. The only area where MJ would give Wilt trouble would be dribbling. However, who says Wilt needs to dribble at all? He could just shoot the ball from the outside and then charge in to get the rebound. Chamberlain had a wingspan of nearly eight feet and a vertical reach of 13 feet 3 inches jumping straight up from a standing position. That’s three inches higher than the top of the backboard!
