More importantly, why is Wilt even on this team in the first place? I know he played a handful of years for them, but when people think Wilt, they absolutely do not think Lakers.

Who granddaddy is this

You guys can flame all you want. To say Wilt was known as a Laker is ridiculous. An overwhelming amount of his career accomplishments happened when he played for other teams. MVPs, scoring titles, All Stars, rebounding titles, All-NBA teams, etc.

You guys can talk trash all you want, but you guys have no case.

[HIM]

[storm2006]

myrie going to get beat up by mion again ?

g I forgot all about that

On God. He looks quicker than before out here.

Free Melo. Let the man go flourish somewhere. He still got a good 2-3 years as a high level 3rd option left in him.

"2-3 years as a high level third option". Life comes at you fast, man

Seriously? I realize you are a Laker fan, so this might have struck a nerve, but....

4 time MVP (zero with the Lakers)
13 time All Star (4 with the Lakers)
1 time All Star game MVP (zero with the Lakers)
7 time All-NBA 1st team (zero with the Lakers)
3 time All-NBA 2nd team (1 with the Lakers)
7 time scoring champ (zero with the Lakers)
11 time rebounding leader (4 with the Lakers)
1 time assist leader leader (zero with the Lakers)
2 time NBA All-Defensive team (two with the Lakers)
2 time NBA Champion (one with the Lakers)
1 time Finals MVP (one time with the Lakers)

I mean.....to anyone but a Laker fan, this isnt even a debate. An overwhelming majority of Wilts accomplishments happened in parts of his career where he wasnt a Laker. The fact that I even had to type all that out is ridiculous.

The point was that most casual fans identify him as not diehard ones. Those clips of the Finals that they used to show on ABC was him with who exactly? The Lakers. Don't be so sensitive, no nerve was struck. Clearly it is a debate as several of the people who echoed these sentiments aren't Laker fans at all.

Dude all this means is that he was at his best individually outside of LAL

Has nothing to do with who most people associate Wilt with.

They CLEARLY associate him as a Laker more so than a Warrior or 6'er or globetrotter. Clearly.

 

[dland24]

^ Well, I dont think that is clear in the slightest bit.

 

[Based Jesus]

I think of the 6ers when I hear Wilt. THEN the Lakers, but that's just me. Warriors never even occurs to me. I always forget he played for them.

Co-sign....except for forgetting he played for the Warriors. But I have said my piece. Agree to disagree, Lakers fans.

 

[Quincy McCall]

I associate him with the 6er's
