So in NBA history, this is the list of players who have attempted 40 or more Shots per Game in an NBA game (regular season and playoffs):

(1) Wilt Chamberlain - 107

(2) Rick Barry - 16

(3) Elgin Baylor - 13

(4) Kobe Bryant - 10

(5) Joe Fulks - 7

(6) Michael Jordan - 7

(7) Elvin Hayes - 5

(8) George Mikan - 5

(9) Russell Westrbook - 5

(10) Allen Iverson - 4


Absolutely insane. And people wonder how he was averaging 50 a game. I wonder how many points Jordan and Kobe would have averaged taking that many shots every game.

Philly bouls, Trust the Process
Wilt Chamberlain led the NBA in FG% 9 times, his teammates encouraged him to shoot it, and even in his 50ppg season was second in the league in FG% :unimpressed:
They called him a ball hog so he became the only center to ever lead the NBA in assists, and did so in an era when it was much more difficult to get assists from how they were awarded :ufdup: and despite that Mike and Kobe never averaged as many assists as Wilt did 68 :unimpressed:

I mean he was but you gotta give him credit for changing up his game and winning that chip in '67

That title is very underrated. Wilt averaged 21-29-9 (57%fg) and played great defense through that playoff run.

He finally beat that unstoppable Celtics superteam in the ECF too.

He averaged 21 points, 32 boards, and 10 assists against Russell that series :picard:

This is not true bro. Wilt's team was actually the favourite that year. He had the best team. His team was superior to the Celtics which had already began to fade by the mid 60's. Wilt played with multiple all stars in their prime already at this time.

Bill Simmons broke it down in his book of basketball years ago.

Simmons is a known Celtics Apologist. If they were on the decline how did they win the next two titles in '68 and '69?

Because they had Bill Russell. They were totally washed in 1969. Auerbarch had already retired and Bill Russell was player/coach. Wilt was with the Lakers next to Jerry West. His team was seen as the clear favorite in 1969 and Chamberlain still lost.

When a players post season scoring goes up from the regular season, it means they’ve elevated their game for more competitive, higher stakes basketball

but people on here tell me that wilts averages going down and being the 5th highest scorer on his own team somehow meant wilt was elevating his game
Averaging 17.5 a game and letting that maga cac rick Barry average 40 means he was helping his team somehow

Overrated as fukk all those cartoon stats to only muster up 2 rings in a league with like 6 teams full of cacs :mjlol:

The fact that he literally spent an entire season stat-padding assists because people were criticizing him too much for stat-padding points is NOT a good look for your argument. :deadmanny:

Anyone who doesn't think that Wilt was obsessed with his numbers and openly tried to pad them is not dealing with reality. We've covered this before.
