Somehow cats gonna claim this tells you more than the fact he shot under 46% from the line in six different seasons including 38% in 1968.
Low-key Wilt was a terribly inefficient shooter away from the basket. In his high-scoring days he hovered around 50% from the field despite having 4-5" extra height and a ton more athleticism than his average defender. With all the dunks and gimmes that he made automatically, think about how many short-range shots he had to have missed for his shooting % to end up so low.
But y'all don't want to hear facts....![]()
but he'd struggle in this day
