It's always funny to me which quotes people choose to put stock into when it comes to Phil Jackson.
A person will praise on thing he says because it supports their argument and moments later will disregard something else he said because it doesn't fit their agenda.

Rest In Power Kobe
the NBA was a lot more fast paced and physical back then than it is today.
if anything, he would have fouled out at least one time in today's NBA, but he would be able to handle the pace, imo.

I'd say he could get up to 40.
I think people are underestimating just how much of a freak athlete Wilt actually was. He was strong, fast, and agile. He was also more fundamentally sound that you'd think. He consistently put in work on both ends of the court also.
Plus the the way the rules are bigs are more protected now then they were at any time Wilt was playing.
Lebron physically towers over Jordan, he's bigger, a little slower, and their probably about the same strength wise in regards to the position they play on the court.
What's going to set lebron apart from his peers this season is if he's satisfied winning this ring or if he's stays focused and hungry. After Mike won his first ring he never lost in the playoffs again, sans the comeback year. Where lebron has the most to make up for is his mentality to the game, will he still act child like on the court or will this ring mature him and his on court attiude.
SO much of lebron's success is going to depend on the health of D Wade and his knees. If Wade was 25 then lebron would have a great chance of winning 5+ more rings, but dude is 31 and declining at a daily rate. It's true he's the best 2 guard in the league now, but who knows what the future holds.

What is your point, exactly?
Phil doesn't have an agenda today. He doesn't work for anybody.

Wilt would by far be the best C in the NBA today. But 40 is a little high.
If he plays 42-44 minutes, no reason why he couldn't average 33-16-4-2.5 assuming he's getting 20+ shots a night.

Barring serious injury, Lebron will be able provide more total value in his NBA career simply because he played more time and his production is only seen by Jordan in the 3 point era and Chamberlain and Kareem during all eras. I don't think he can ever have a better single season than his age 24 season with the Cavs. That is probably one of the top 3 seasons by any player ever, but Jordan's age 27 season is better. I like to judge by single season production when talking about historical rankings, but that is obviously somewhat arbitrary.

Oh no doubt. I respect him getting dominant numbers and dominating the league if he was in his prime in 2012. But 40 + is a little much.
