Who would you rather have: 29 year old Lebron or Wilt Chamberlain

[Kabnis]

Let's suppose in a fictional timeline, both are free agents in 2014.

Depends Wilt only seemed to care about himself and would play when he wanted

Lebron is the ultimate team player that plays every game like its his last

It be like Jerry Rice or Randy Moss to me

is Wilt gonna run the offense, drop 30+ if need be and be the best defender on the court while guarding all 5 positions? if not, i'll go with Bron..

Wilt at 29? The league wouldn't know how to react.

Is this REALLY a question?



The only people that would go with LeBron are his stans



Who would take LeBron James over a almost 7'3, 300+ lbs, 40+ inch vertical, 4.4 40 running Center who was one of the top 5 greatest scorers, rebounders, and block shot artists the game has ever seen?

Plus he averaged 5.2 assists at 29, 7.8 assists at 30, and 8.6 assists at 31, because he was a great passer as well











I'm not a fan of Pre-Merger NBA players. Give me LeBron

 

[Brozay]

I'd take Wilt over anyone to build around

 

[Greenhornet]

yet he only won two titles his whole career when he was twice as big and strong as any other player

and the only times he did win was when he was on two of the greatest teams of all time that each had multiple hall of famers



I think Wilt was the biggest stat padder ever to play in the NBA

Wilt was obsessed with stats and a ball hog

Yes he avg 50 ppg a season, but I never hear people mention the fact he took 40 shots to get those 50 points

He towered over everyone, scoring easily and grabbing all the boards

The average height of a center in Wilt's era was 6"6

Wilt was a horrible teammate that never went to practice and called out many of his teammates most of his coaches were fired because he didn't agree with them

He was traded back in forth between teams in his prime

Can you imagine anyone not wanting a Prime Jordan or Prime Shaq if the option was available

I think all of the great centers (Kareem, Hakeem, D. Robinson, Shaq) could have dropped 100 or averaged 50 ppg under Wilt's circumstances

I'm starting to think your one of the worse posters on this site because it's not even that your uninformed about Wilt, you literally just lie to people about Wilt and his era for w/e reason because you never acknowledge the times I've either corrected you directly or made posts that debunk certain myths or stereotypes - be it about him or other players from that era. You just ignore how history actually happened and try to tell it your own, very bias and negative way.

I'm going with Wilt but it would be a tough decision. Usually you pick the big man when it comes to building your team but Bron is a unique player and he isn't your typical perimeter player that is touch to build around.

lebron, wilt was playing against compettetors who were just shorter and weaker than him

This was my argument that got me put on Dan The Man's ignore list

FINALLY..........Da Eggman, HAS made a post that I could salute

everything i just said was a fact tell me where i'm wrong and i'll listen

Wilt Chamberlain was stronger than a bodybuilder, faster than a track star, and jumped like a high jumper, with the finesse of a male ballerina













Give me prime Hakeem Olajuwon over him

 

[brick james]

any other era lebron, in this one give me Wilt, but same with prime Shaq, Hakeem, and Kareem
