Wilt played in a weak era, MJ played in the prime era. The teams around now a days are trash, it's why I can't respect anyone saying LeBron is better than MJ.

This is Mike's greatest competition for goat IMO and a great thread. Honestly I don't have much since I didn't see Wilt play. If someone made a compelling argument for Wilt I probably would have to fall back. I have MJ 1a and Wilt 1b
Because Wilt was worse 
they'll say Bron is the goat
MJ maximized his talent/skills and was ruthless and IMHO, Wilt didn't. Wilt was a freak of nature and his overall numbers are great but no way he should have just 2 championships. Wilt was 7'1'' averaging 50/25 and still let 6'10'' Bill Russell get the better of him most of the time. I believe if Wilt had MJ's drive/determination, Wilt would have won 10 championships at-least. I don't believe Wilt was ever considered the "leader" of those 2 championship teams he was on. West was the leader on that '71 Laker team and Billy Cunningham/Hal Greer were the leaders of that '67 Sixer team and we all know MJ was the undisputed leader of the Bulls...

I forgot which writer was saying that the regular average person cant relate to the big guys the way they can relate to 6'6 guys who are the average size in the NBA so they discount the accomplishments of guys like Wilt and Kareem.
Its unfair, you cant take thier size advantage away from them and say Jordan is pound for pound the greatest or some bull like that
