I’ll be honest I’ve never seen dude play...

What is his game like? He got post moves? Jumper? Can he face up like KG and take dudes off the dribble?

What did he actually do?

7'1" and high jump champion.

Dude would have dominated any era of basketball.

Even in today's league he's putting up 30-15-4.
In his first 10 years in the league

He never averaged under 22 boards a game:picard:

Or under 30 points a game :mjgrin:



Imagine Embiid trying to check him:wow:

Philly bouls, Trust the Process
after being criticized for focusing on his scoring, he said fukk it and averaged 9 dimes a game and led the league in assists from the center position in a season


it should also be noted that it was a lot harder to get assists back then. They wouldn't credit them as easily as they do today

Wilt would average those numbers if he came back today, and he’s been dead 20 years. Find me a center in the league today matching up with prime Wilt - he woulda averaged 60 and 25 :wow:
Fun fact

1961-1962

Wilt: 50/26 team record (49-31)
Big O: 31/12/11 (43-37)
Elgin: 38/18/5 (54-26)
Logo: 31/8/5 (54-26)


And the MVP is.................





Bill Russell: 19/23/4 (60-20)
That was back when the league had standards, now you can flop your way to the line 18 times a night in the regular season to pad your stats, go 0-27 in the playoffs, and still have people call you MVP just because you’re in a large market. :snoop:
