KAJ and Shaq would require double teams

Probably this. Nobody could stop him, despite hack-a-Shaq.

Not when Shaq/Kareem are hitting 70% of their shots

70% from 2 is equivalent to <50% from 3... The Warriors take that challenge

Warriors aren't going to hit 50% very often

And Shaq aint hitting 70% either, he shot 58%

That's because teams double teamed him

Wilt was also playing against much shorter, less athletic, less skilled
