A good friend's father played summer ball with him in their youth.  He said he never met a stronger man than Wilton Norman Chamberlain.  He was a hero to me in the sporting sense of the word as well as a true Jazz enthusiast and nigh on all 'round renaissance man.  And one of, if not the, best athlete the world has ever seen.

My Dad played against him when he was on his high school basketball team.  He said it was like an adult pro playing against 4 year olds.

My uncle went to Overbrook High with him in Philly. Definitely the best athlete the NBA has ever seen.

Wilt was The Man.

As for the strongest man to ever live, I suspect it was Angus MacAskill.  Like Wilt, we wont ever see another like Angus.

With the possible exception of Babe Ruth, Wilt is the most dominant American Athlete ever in the history of team sports. Just look at his stats. Also, blocked shots were not counted when he played.
