Wilt Chamberlain is the ONLY HOF player in NBA History to NEVER elevate his game and average MORE points in the playoffs than he did in the regular season

1960: 37.6 ppg in reg season and 33.2 ppg in playoffs
1961: 38.4 ppg in reg season and 37.0 ppg in playoffs
1962: 50.4 ppg in reg season and 35.0 ppg in playoffs
1963: 44.8 ppg in reg season and Didnt Make The Playoffs
1964: 36.9 ppg in reg season and 34.7 ppg in playoffs
1965: 34.7 ppg in reg season and 29.3 ppg in playoffs
1966: 33.5 ppg in reg season and 28.0 ppg in playoffs
1967: 24.1 ppg in reg season and 21.7 ppg in playoffs
1968: 24.3 ppg in reg season and 23.7 ppg in playoffs
1969: 20.5 ppg in reg season and 13.9 ppg in playoffs

The guy only Averaged 25 Rebounds a game

 

[Carlos Huerta]

Guess he just decided to become a scrub during the playoffs

I doubt it had anything to do with facing better teams in the post season

He's not the only HOFer to have to play tough teams in the playoffs breh

BUT

He's the ONLY HOF player to never have at least 1 SEASON where he averaged more points in the playoffs than regular season.


That's like....extremely


Can that ever be duplicated?

"bbbbbbut he was dunking eyes closed, flat footed from the freethrow line without moving. he just burst into the air!!! no homo oh and he ran a 4.1 - 40 yd dash and could palm a volkswagen beetle with one hand!!!!"

1962: 50.4 ppg in reg season and 35.0 ppg in playoffs

How da fuq do you follow up a regular season 50+ pts average?

Even Dennis Rodman had 1 season were he was able to average more points per game in the playoffs than he did in the regular season



What kinda glitch in the matrix shyt was this?



If it wasnt for @Street Knowledge dropping that ether, I would have never recognized this.

you have way too much time on your hands in 2013 if youre trying to take shots at Wilt Chamberlain

1962: 50.4 ppg in reg season and 35.0 ppg in playoffs

He followed it up by averaging 44.8 ppg the next season................and then didnt make the playoffs at all





at this never being spoken on.

 

[FreedS[ohh]lave]

Thats Wilts one big knock theyres huge games he disappeared in..game 7 of the finals against the Knicks he didnt take a shot in the 4th quarter

It wasnt lack of talent he could have dominated whenever he wanted he just was a little off mentally

It's the middle of Baseball season with no football/basketball until September



If you wouldn't have tried and justify Wilt's numbers in the last thread, I wouldn't have had to do a double take on his playoff numbers

He is known as a guy who put up great numbers who couldn't get it done in the big games. I had no idea about the playoffs number drop but it's pretty much in line with his reputation.

 

[sfgiants]

Even Dennis Rodman had 1 season were he was able to average more points per game in the playoffs than he did in the regular season

If it wasnt for @Street Knowledge dropping that ether, I would have never recognized this.

all his inflated numbers have been dissected n broken down too

when i first read the facts behind rebounding numbers during his era

rodman's rebounding numbers > wilt's
scores 50 a game.. on like 50 fukkin shots

Chet Walker - 23.3ppg
Wali Jones - 20.2ppg
Billy Cunningham - 19.7ppg
