Havlicek straight up holding him and Wilt going up and dunking anyway with him hanging on :dead:

Lifting grown nikkas over a fence like they're toddlers :huhldup:

Lifting a 500+ pound loaded up dolly :wow:

Three real physical superhuman athletes of all time IMO: Wilt, Bo Jackson, and Jonah Lomu

Let the coli tell it though, he was only good because he played in the 60's and the players of today would shut him down. :mjlol:
nobody ever said this. more like dude wouldn't be averaging 50 and 20 in today's league. and I stand by that. nobody averaging 50 points a game in today's league

brehs have said all sorts of that shyt. the shyt that was being said about Oscar Robertson when he made his comments about Curry was ridiculous.

there's already a current thread with a guy vehemently arguing in favour of Draymond Green being able to guard Kareem and denying him positioning in the post. People literally arguing against the greatest players of all time in favour of what's hot now.

And he might not average 50 points per game, but 20 boards per game is not impossible. :usure:

In 1961 (where he had his best rebounding season at 27.2 RPG), he was playing nearly the whole game (47.8 MPG and he'd play 48.5!!!! MPG the next season). Add in the fact the league's team average for rebounding was 73.3 rebounds per team. So, basically the average game had 146-147 rebounds available. This season's average is 43.8 per team, so basically you'd be looking at nearly 60 less rebounds available, and he wouldn't play 48 mins a game today.

Drummond averages 15 a game in 33 minutes.
DeAndre Jordan averages 14 a game in 33 minutes.


You really gonna tell me Wilt couldn't average nearly 20 a game with 40ish minutes. :dahell:

he probably wouldnt but his durability was ridiculous.

He wouldnt average 50 and 20

But I feel good saying he would lead the league in scoring and rebounding.

How is that disrespecting Kareem? I'm arguing that a great post defender aided by a great swarming defense can guard him. You guys are the ones saying shut down and making a big deal out of absolutely nothing. Think outside the box & look at context

And I have a problem with people downplaying Oscar's accomplishments too. If you look at how he played, he had skills that would translate anywhere and so did Wilt. So did Rick Barry and Jerry West. Got the wrong one in terms of disrespecting legends of this game.

Drummond/DJ are great rebounders on their own and would be averaging 20 in Wilt's day :manny:

He could but IDK, it's a hypothetical question. I don't think hje would/should play 40ish minutes tho.
