  • Phil Jackson on difference between Wilt Chamberlain and Shaquille O’Neal: “I played six years against Wilt Chamberlain, and he was a guy that was slow to anger, a tremendous athlete. He played under his limitations a lot. I had to play center one year, and one of the things you were taught was just get into Wilt’s path; he doesn’t like offensive fouls. If you fake an offensive foul or take charge to speak, he really stops becoming aggressive. That was one thing that was a limitation in Wilt’s game.” “He had the fallback turn-around shot; he had the dipper, finger-roll; he led the league in assists one year. Shaquille didn’t have quite the same athleticism that Wilt had; he had the bounce, and he had the speed, but he didn’t have the endurance.” “Shaq had a jump hook, whereas Wilt didn’t have a jump hook. Free-throw shooting, I think that free-throw shooting was a big weakness on both sides.”
