    Yes. And he would dominate. The NBA in large part changed because of him. Chamberlain could play in any era.

    Yeah I believe so. Its interesting to consider how he's play. I reckon he'd be twice as good as the best version of Dwight, with a similar style. Statistically, I'm suggesting at least a 30 / 20 / 5 block average.

    Yes he would be dominate not as dominate as he was during his time but still dominate

    Yeah... he'd be averaging 30 and 20, easily. His athleticism is off the charts

    Wilt Chamberlain in his prime would be the THE dominant center in basketball today. NOBODY could match his skills.

    He'd be a #1 pick by any NBA general manager that had any common sense at all.

    Yes he could but he would not be as great as he was when he played.

    yes

    Of course he could. We're talking about one of the greatest players ever. The game has changed since his era to be sure, but not that much. He would be smart enough to adapt and athletic enough to succeed. Being 7'1" doesn't hurt either.
