i do know that winning championships > putting up crazy numbers. if wilt won more that what he did, there very well would be a strongargument for him being ranked higher but he had a reputation for dissapearing in the clutch and ive heard that mostly from older heads who actually watched himplay.Originally Posted by Osh Kosh Bosh

Wilt has just as much claim to the GOAT title as anyone else.
Dwight Howard can average 20 points a game with no decipherable post game other than a decent spin move and baby hook. Now take Wilt 7'1 by all accounts more athletic, than Dwight, apparently had a 46 inch vert, a former college hurdler (AT 7'1), long jumper and higher jumper. Now add in the skill set great passer, high basketball IQ, great post game, hook shots, fade aways, finger rolls and probably the strongest player and the hardest worker in NBA history.
Wilt might be the greatest pure ATHLETE to ever play anything.
This forums is so 90's centric, no knowledge of what came before you.
Bill RusselOriginally Posted by JapanAir21
Exactly my point, I'd like to see him go up against Kareem, Hakeem, young Shaq, and GOOD centers night in and night out.Originally Posted by YoungTriz
who was he playing against all those years?? what did the competition look like???.. i can probably bet that there wasnt any real defensive minded type players back then... or any dudes that where even close to his size... like someone else said... the average center back then was 6'5???
Name me three good centers that were around when Wilt dominated.
Please.
He's got two rings....Originally Posted by Supafly122
So with those crazy stats he never led his team to a ring?
Willis Reed, as good as he was, was 6'9''.Originally Posted by JohnnyRedStorm

Look like he was playing against 3rd graders
anyways, mj avged more career wise. he had so many moves and also efficient. kobe has lots of moves but some of em are like od, and you knowhe's gonna miss it.Originally Posted by TheYoungestGun
so who cares if he didnt shoot 70% like jordan wasnt greedy? someone remember finals game against phoenix? wasnt 43 shots jordan took to score 50
