It would be very difficult, if not impossible, for cartiledge to support 130 pounds of UPRIGHT frame. Sharks can get by with having skeletons of cartiledge because of where they live; the water supports their bodies. On land, a large complex organism is going to be more affected by gravity, and would need a sturdy support system, and this would especially be true for something that walks upright, as opposed to having a horizontal spine. Wilt is just "double-jointed" like many humans, which accounts for his flexibility. I have seen humans which can pretty much bend and move like he does, though you have to take into account that "artistic liscense" with regards to exaggerating certain features, like Wilt's flexibility. Frequent excersise also increases joint flexibility, and no doubt Wilt gets plenty of THAT just from the chores he does, not counting workouts.
