Reading up on Wilt, he was that nikka :wow:
- Thread starter blackzeus
- Start date
That's Ali of all people dawg... Ali Hate to discredit Bill Russell and say he was overrated like I have in other threads and then say Wilt would dominate any era but I truly believe that. He was just too big and athletic and too strong not to be an impact player at any point and time in NBA history. He would be 25 and 15 minimum in this era. He played so many minutes at his size so he had to have been in supreme shape year in and year out which would be a testament to his work ethic. Which I think people don't give him enough credit for because he "only" has two rings. He changed his game up midway through his career and was on two of the greatest teams ever as a result. I wish Wilt could have got a couple more rings so he could be looked at in reverence like Bill is instead of just seen as dominating a "bunch of 6'5 white boys" when Wilt played against centers like Nate Thurmond Willis Reed a young Artis Gilmore and a young KAJ.
Bill Russell was Lebron's height bruh and he looked 7'3 against them cacs, stop it.
FACT: Whiteboy Steve Nash dominated the L. Stop talkin' about CACs like Ginobili wasn't bustin' nikkaz asses in Game 4.
FACT: Lebron was gettin' stopped by Boris Diaw. Bill Russell had a 7' wingspan, it wasn't the height, it was Wilt's greatness.
I really don't want to hear nothing from no poster on this site ever again about this Michael Jordan kid being on the level of GOAT again. Never. Don't do it. It's completely wrong. He's not near Wilt, Bill or KAJ. Not even near their tier.

Dan, what a lot of people don't realize is in a lot of those clips Wilt was in his mid and late 30's and his head was at the rim.
Yes that's true, there is very little footage of young Wilt. Oh here's another interesting fact about Wilt - Kansas City Chiefs HOF coach Hank Stram was DESPERATE to get him to be his WR. Scouted Wilt out and thought he was the greatest specimen he'd seen, was convinced he could become the greatest pro WR of all time. Wilt never pursued this but he had his 40 yard dash timed at age 27, at a weight of 290lbs, and he wasn't wearing any shoes - and was wearing dress pants...
He clocked a 4.6... That's what the "only" 260lb "freak athlete" Lebron just clocked this past summer. And I'd bet money Lebron wasn't barefoot wearing dress pants.
Wilt would be the best player in any era because he is the best player we have ever had play the sport. That's not going to change until someone has another 7 foot superhuman as their son.
If you ask Wilt, he will tell you he would score 75PPG in the 90's. I remember laughing then thinking
He could possibly do it. Wilt was much bigger than any center in the 90's outside of Shaq and was a much better athlete than everyone in the 90's.

Wilt was on some good teams and played with hall of famers like Paul Arizin Hal Greer Chet Walker Elgin Baylor and Jerry West. And I guess he that is the reason why he gets criticized because he only got the two rings surrounded with talent like that. But two rings is nothing to scoff at when a lot of great players don't have any.
Don't get negged for being stupid. Don't you dare put MJ near the greats like KAJ, Wilt, or Bill ever. Never do it. It's completely wrong. MJ never had over a .500 record without Pippen and he never been past the 1st round without Pippen. KAJ, Bill and Wilt single handed turned teams into very good or great teams the minute they stepped foot in the NBA.
