Some guys do that, they like to show off how manly they are to other men and practically tear your arm off. I know an old man that does it, he's nearly 80 years old but likes to give power hand shakes.

The Almighty Wilt Chamberlain

Wilt was naturally strong. Plus an athlete

Wilt was stronger than an ox A true freak of nature There will never ever be another Wilt Chamberlain !

People tend to equate Shaq’s size (weight - over weight he was) to strength. There are a lot of big (fat) guys out there that are not necessarily strong. Don’t get me wrong, Shaq was big and strong, but not freakishly strong like Wilt. His bull rush style of play would not have been allowed back in the 60’s. Wilt was just blessed with an unequaled combination of athleticism, agility, strength, stamina, quickness and strength! Unfortunately TV was not prevalent back in the 60s so much of Wilt’s accomplishments have no video footage. He is similar to Ruth in being an anomaly that is hard to fathom due to not a lot of video.

Wilt was practically a genetic super human

I recently heard the phrase “Many walked healthy in the NBA because of Wilt's great patience and mercy.”

He SHOULD also hold just about every blocking record too, but they didn't formally record those. However, it is widely known that he could block more than twenty shots in a good game, and his average blocks per game over his entire career was very likely roughly 7 per game.

In 1981 was working the door at the Blue Water Cafe on Waikiki. I was used to seeing huge people since there are plenty of professional athletes who would come to Hawaii on vacation as well as some really big Hawaiians and Samoans who worked as bouncers in the clubs. Wilt walked in one night and I basically had to reprogram myself to what I had always thought of as being really big. I shook his hand and remember that he seemed to cradle my hand like an adult might do to keep from hurting a child. I had always thought of myself as being pretty strong because I pretty much lived in the gym back then. I'll never forget how I went from feeling strong to feeling almost powerless when I was next to Wilt.

A friend of mine and I, with some lady friends, were in a restaurant on the Wharf in 1968 in SF when Wilt walked in and sat at the next table. Sitting down he looked like a really strong guy of maybe 6'6". He was so well proportioned you could not believe it when he stood up. We said hello and he was extremely polite and shook our hands and I think he could have wrapped his hand twice around mine. He then left with the three gorgeous ladies that accompanied him. Saw Russell two weeks later at Cala foods in Berkeley.

I never really thought about Chamberlin's strength just his play. I watched him play the LA Lakers in LosAngeles during the mid 60's. He was playing for the San Francisco Warriors and had a fade away bank shot that was unstoppable. When he was on his game his team won that night.

I don't care about no basketball bro a mountain 🦁lion that gets my attention, my respect!

I remember hearing Walt Hazzard tell a story about Wilt, he said Wilt was in the lane and was getting ready to dump the basketball Walt said he put one hand on the top of the ball and the other hand on the bottom of the ball to stop wilt from dunking, Chamberlain went up to dunk the ball, and Hazard was still holding on once he got a couple of feet in the air. He said he let go because he didn’t want to be the first human being to be dunked lol

He was the original BO JACKSON wilt could have played any sport or could have been a gold medalist in multiple events

Wilt was super strong, no doubt about it. I interviewed '56 Silver/'60 Gold Olympic shot put medalist, Bill Nieder, about 25 years ago for a biographical article and he told me what actually happened by the dorm one day. Wilt used an overhand, 2-hand "put" where one stands backward and slings it overhead. You see shot-putters often do this as a warm-up. Bill, was right-handed, but the bet required him and Al Oerter (also right handed) to use their left hands. I don't mean to demean Wilt but no one can seriously believe he could out-throw the Olympic silver medalist, soon to be gold medalist shot putter. Too, Al Oerter thought Wilt had great potential in the discus because of his arm span, worked with him but Wilt never progressed as much as he thought he might, his height making a discus ring look like a sewer plate. But, Wilt was a superman. He was also an excellent high jumper and I believe he tied an SMU jumper for 1st place at the Kansas or Drake Relays one year at around 6'7". As best I know, he wasn't his conference's high jump champ. Unbeknownst to many, Bill Russell actually had a better high jump. I believe he jumped 6'9" while he was in college. Bill was just a shade behind the top high jumper in the USA but chose to go to the '56 Olympics as a basketball team member and passed on the '56 Olympic Trials in the high jump. Wilt's supposed weight lifting? Nah! Most of it is gross hyperbole. There is no video evidence of Wilt doing giant lifts. Anyway, he was one in a hundred million and way ahead of the pack early on in his pro basketball days and he played well and stayed athletically active all the way to the end. He really seemed to like to compete. Most of his teammates will tell you he was a man of tall stories about himself, had a giant ego. One of the greats!!!

AND...Wilt was set for a dunk when the opposing (250 lb.) center decided to foul him instead. He stood face-to-face with Wilt and grabbed both his wrists. WILT CARRIED THE GUY UP TO MAKE THE DUNK. ('Course he probably missed his free throw.)

I got to see him play in person in the '71 finals. Also in that series Pat Riley and Phil Jackson played against each other.

Wilt was an extraordinary natural athlete. Few know he could run like a deer: He ran the 440 yd dash (400 meters) in under 50 seconds at Kansas as an undergraduate. A noteworthy feat in the mid 50's, but amazing for someone not on the track team.

My dad took me to Warrior games. At a Celtics game, Jim Luscatoff of the Celtics had been all over Wilt, and no fouls were called. You could hear Wilt complain to the refs, he was getting pissed. At one point, Luscatoff is holding Wilt contesting a rebound. Wilt shrugged and tossed Luscatoff from flying from the court into the second row. You could feel the fans' awe at seeing that.

Jungle Jim was no match for Wilt.

One of the most amazing experiences in my life was getting to play a few minutes of beach volleyball against Wilt Chamberlin. I grew up watching him play with the Lakers and in the summer of 1976, I went to the beach at Santa Monica. After I was done, I was walking back towards the parking area, and at the first court South of the pier, Wilt was playing with some of his buddies and I stopped to watch the game. I had played a bit of recreational ball, but nothing serious. After I had been watching for a few minutes one of the guys looked at his watch and saw he had to go right then in the middle of the game. That left the sides uneven, so they asked if I wanted to fill in to finish the game. Didn’t have to ask me twice. The other guys were of a size and skill level that suggested they were all pro or college players. I was by far the worst player on that court, but the experience was amazing. First, Wilt could legitimately spike out of sand from mid court with ease. Second, you could tell he was careful with his spikes not to hurt anybody and held back if he was spiking at somebody. When he aimed a spike at an empty spot and really let go, it sounded like a rifle shot. I’m sure if you caught the full force of one on your forearms it could break a bone. I reached for one and it grazed my forearm and gave me a noticeable abrasion. None of the other players were anything close to his power level or jumping ability.

@@FoobasSports It certainly was. In addition to his inhuman physical abilities, I was impressed with his gentlemanly sportsmanship. In addition to his obvious effort not to hurt me or anyone else, as the smallest, weakest player on that court, he could have picked on me and singled me out for easy points, but did not. He treated me with the same "respect" as he did the other players.

One of the greatest feats in track and field of all time was the world record in the high jump by Russian Valeriy Brumel who was only 6'1" and using the old straddle method jumped 7'5 and three quarters inches!

I remember him throwing Kareem jabbar around like a toy rag doll

Not really, he was taller by an inch or two. But Andre was much wider

Read in the old Strength & Health Magazine back in the early 1970s his best clean and jerk on a barbell in college was 275 lbs. Later in the NBA weighing 285 lbs. He benched pressed 350. For the arm length that is very good.

The answer to this question is 100% yes.

I watched him kill 3 sasquatches with his bare hands

Nice!!!!!

I saw a TV episode where he palmed a 16 lb. bowling ball that had no holes in it. He held it straight out and then started waving it around and around like you would with a softball.

The preponderance of evidence...two or three crazy stories like this would seem ridiculous, but they seem so commonplace, and you hear them from so many individuals who knew Wilt--you'd be an idiot to try and deny them.

Agreed. Wilt is no. 1 and it is a long way to no. 2, whoever that is.

Stronger than Shaq. Seriously, Wilt was a real life folk hero. I just feel bad, because Wilt just wanted to be loved by the public. And to this day, he isn't appreciated. He would say, "Nobody likes the Giant". He would fuck up Shaq, and Shaq knows this if he has any brains.
