As much as I love Shaq, Wilt was far more dominant, bigger, stronger, and faster. Not even a conversation. Still Shaq is an all time great.

Not to nitpick your post, but Wilt wasn’t bigger than Shaq.

Wilt was more dominant to a bunch of 6'4 white guys.... Shaq is easily the most dominant big man ever. Horrible take on your part

I strongly disagree. He played at a time period where there were few seven footers. Most of his opposition was White. He could dominate any basketball contest on physical strength. Once Lew Alcindor came into the League, it was different. I watched Alcindor score fifty in their first playoff meeting.
When Shaq was at LSU, or even in high school, he could dribble the length of the court, and slam it.
Wilt was well coordinated but dominated because of his size and height over the opposing players.

Dumb post. Shaq would have folded Wilt up like a lawn chair. Wilt wouldn’t have had a chance to stop Shaq. Ewing, Ming, Mutombo, Robinson, Olajuwon.... none of them could stop Shaq! Neither would Wilt.

I would argue that simply because when Wilt played it was rare to have BIG men, he was one of the exceptions. Competition was not the same, of course a 7' 1" will dominate all others in the 6' 6" category.

Wrong. Could you imagine what Shaq would have done to all the Eddie Haskell, 6-8 white dudes with tape on their glasses that wilt bowled over? Hell, Nate Thurmond was all world and 6-10 MAYBE??? wes freaking unseld is considered an all-time great at center, and was 6-6! Shaq woulda destroyed those boys worse than wilt ever did.
