Wilt > Shaq. And it's not close.

[/ QUOTE ]

You are only considering this because of Wilt's stats.

[/ QUOTE ]

This is a good point. A lot of Wilt's statistical dominance owes to the level of competition he faced, and conventions of the game which have died out since his time. There's also the fact that he was the most prolific shooter in the history of the NBA, averaging more than 32 shots per game in his first four seasons. He had over 2000 FG attempted in his first six seasons (1990 in his seventh). Shaq has never had more than 1700 in a season, and Jordan had only one season with more than 2000. Wilt's 3159 FGA in '62 is just as crazy as some of his other records. This is all while leading the league in free throws attempted as well.

The truth is, if the 2 were to play in the same era Shaq would have dominated as he looked down and said "Nice try small fry!"

This is just as silly as Dead's claim.

You could try to imagine Shaq playing during Wilt's era. Even without the added weight training and nutritional science, Shaq would have been massive and nimble, moreso than Chamberlain. It would have been carnage on a scale larger than Wilt's.
