Wilt Chamberlain is unquestionably one of the best players to ever play at the center position in the NBA.
According to an updated ranking list by Bleacher Report, Chamberlain is currently ranked in the top five among all the greats who played center. Each big man had their own unique traits and accomplishments, however, who exactly was the tallest of them all?
Here's a breakdown of how Wilt Chamberlain's height compares to the top NBA centers of all time.
#1 Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (7-foot-1)
As of today, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar still holds the record for the most career points in NBA history. He's also a star-studded player with six NBA titles, two Finals MVPs, six league MVPs, and a 19-time All-Star. After 20 long seasons, Abdul-Jabbar averaged 24.6 points, 11.2 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and 2.6 blocks per game.
He is a member of the NBA 75 and is also considered to be one of the greatest LA Lakers legends in history.
#2. Wilt Chamberlain (7 feet)
Wilt Chamberlain still holds the record for the most points scored in a game with 100 points. The record is yet to be broken and probably never will be. Standing at 7-feet tall, Chamberlain was a stats padding machine. In his career, he averaged 30.1 points, 22.9 rebounds, and 4.4 assists. He didn't win as many championships as everyone expected him to, but he's a holder of a lot of NBA records.
Wilt Chamberlain is a two-time NBA champion, a Finals MVP, a four-time league MVP, a 13-time All-Star, and an All-Star Game MVP.
#3. Shaquille O'Neal (7 feet)
When you think of dominance, Shaquille O'Neal is the first player that comes to mind. Aside from being a 7-foot tall giant, his body mass was insane too. Shaq could easily bully his way inside the paint and would make sure to posterize his opponents. He was a defensive beast as well, making him one of the most feared big men in the league.
Shaquille O'Neal averaged 23.7 points, 10.9 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 2.3 blocks per game in his career. Shaq has four NBA titles, three Finals MVPs, one league MVP, 15 All-Star selections, and three All-Star MVPs, one of which was shared with the late Kobe Bryant.
#4. Tim Duncan (6-foot-9)
Tim Duncan is undeniably the greatest Spurs player of all time. After taking over the team during Duncan Robinson's exit, the "Big Fundamental" continued to bring success to San Antonio alongside Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker. Duncan wasn't exactly an exciting player to watch, but he was definitely one of the most efficient to ever play basketball.
Tim Duncan stayed loyal to the San Antonio Spurs, wherein he averaged 19 points, 10.8 rebounds, three assists, and 2.2 blocks per game. He has won five NBA championships, three Finals MVPs, two league MVPs, is a 15-time All-Star, and an All-Star Game MVP.
