Its time you people stop overrating Bill and Wilt

[NkrumahWasRight Is Wrong]

Russell would be like Joakim except better. I guess thats not valuable though.

You can't really compare players from different eras to players now because of all the variables involved such as diet, weight training, NBA rules at the time, pace, etc..... I personally don't believe in a GOAT( Kareem & Wilt only 2 players that truly have a say in how they dominated there peers), you have to look how players dominated their peers in era to find out how truly dominant they were. But think about...

Wilt gave a Kareem fits defensively and offensively when they played (only person I have ever seen block the sky hook)
An Old Kareem gave it to Hakeem in West Conference finals and regular season many of times in 80s
Hakeem gave it to Shaq in finals matchup they played in

If Wilt can hold his own and at times dominate Kareem( maybe the most complete center ever) during the the times they played, I would bet my life that Wilt would have no problem dominating the NBA today or any era since his time.....

yeah write. Hakeem was an average defender at best. He would get toasted in this era with better athletes and the quicker pace.

Please, Lebron is half the defender Hakeem was on a good day, how old are you my guy?

 

[Shadow King]

Wilt would average 28 and 13 today. Russell would basically be Joakim Noah.

The league leader in blocked shots. Did you even watch Hakeem play ?

 

[WaddupDoe!]

i thought you were talking about Bill Walton.

 

[I.V.]

Wilt would be dominant in any time, in any era.

People need to do a little research and see how big, strong, and fast he was. People on this site seem to think he was like 6'9. Dude was 7'1.

 

[Wacky D]

comparing bill russell to joakim noah is an insult.

noah doesnt have half the athletic ability of bill russell.

 

[chuckifubuck]

You got 6'9 barefoot Dwight as the best center today but russell would get run out the gym?

Wilt was Shaq without the fat nikka frame and he mighta been more athletic, and he played 48 fukking minutes a game so he wouldn't be sitting out 20 games a season like Shaq used to do.

 

[BrothaZay]

Wilt is like the only center in NBA history to lead the league in assist, just because he felt like it. He would be top 5 in any era.
