No yeah I agree. I think Wilt may be the most freakish athlete to ever live. 4.4 40 yard dash at 7’1” with a 48 inch vertical and a 500 pound bench. Complete alien of a human being. Only athlete even comparable is Bo Jackson. He’s still overrated as a player though.

We still know plenty lmao. We know that his teams sucked when he was scoring a shit ton and his teams got way better when he toned down the scoring

I’m agreeing with OP that the guy is overrated because his playoff history doesn’t match the way people talk about him

The guys firmly and undeniably above him in my mind (no particular order) are Lebron, Jordan, Kareem, Magic, Hakeem, Shaq, Duncan, Bird, Bill, and Steph, and I would argue that Kobe, KD, Giannis, and Jokic are also above him. I’d take Wilt at around 15th all time.

KD over Wilt is perplexing to me. He won no more than Wilt and he had to join the best team in the league to get his two rings. Not to mention KD never dealt with a decade long dynasty standing in his way. By extension I view Jokic and Giannis as close to KD and therefore below Wilt but they both could pass him in the future.

I just give a little more leeway to guys who played in the modern game than guys who played in the 60s. I’m not one of those “everyone who played then was a plumber” guys, but to an extent, if the resumes of the players are comparable, I’m gonna give the edge to the guys who played in a far more talented era of the game.

and also, I think Wilt not making it past the Celtics was more his fault than a testament to how good the Celtics were, given that once he switched up his playstyle to actually play team basketball and not just shoot the ball 40 times a game, he beat them in 5. I’m almost certain Wilt would’ve had more rings if he hadn’t gotten in his own way

You’re awfully “certain” about a lot of hypothetical things you literally have no qualified opinion on.

Ok? You can feel however you want about my opinion lol. I like to think I have reasonable arguments to back them up, but you’re free to disagree.
