When will Lebron pass Jordan?

[DorianRo]

Don't ever change, dumdum

If you think Wilt is gonna dominate the centers of the 90s and 2000s like he did during the White men Shorty Era in the 60s, you're crazy

Shit put Shaq back in the 60s and his CAREER Stats would be 50ppg

I didn't say dominate, in fact I said his crazy stats wouldn't happen. But Wilt would be one of the best centers in any era. Agreed he wouldn't dominate.

Wilt was plenty big enough to compete in that era..

Not with his weight. He would be giving up probably 50-60 pounds to Shaq at least during his Laker days. Thats ALOT of Weight to be giving up when Shaq has you in the post

Nobody is or has said Wilt would dominate in today's NBA. But you're even crazier than I thought if you think he wouldn't be an All Star caliber player.

Russell wouldn't be an all-star player in the 90s-2000s. Wilt would of course. Both could probably manage the all star game today as there are no real true centers left in the game.

Wilt was around the 300lb mark when he played(refer to that physical data pic I posted) and was quicker and a better athlete than Shaq. He would hold his own just fine.

Wilt was 7-1 & 275. You only mentioned Shaq, which is odd. HOF centers from the 70's/80's & on.

-Hakeem: 7-0 & 255
-Robert Parish 7-0 & 230
-Duncan: 6-11 & 250
-Ewing: 7-0 & 240
-KAJ: 7-2 & 255
-Dave Cowens: 6-9 & 230
-Wes Unseld: 6-7 & 245
-Moses Malone: 6-10 & 215

But yeah Wilt wouldn't have been able to hold his own. More current examples. Anthony Davis: 6-10 & 253, Boogie Cousins: 6-11 & 270. I'll ask again, do you ever get tired of being wrong?

 

[DorianRo]

Wilt would hold his own. I don't just don't think he would be top 4-5 Center in the league. Russell on the other hand, Nahh.. too small, not good enough scorer, his rebounding numbers would drop

Russell was 6-10 & 215. Rodman: 6-7 & 210. But yeah, Russell would have been terrible in any generation other than his own. Keep up the stupidity. We are all laughing @ you.

6'10 215 and had pretty AVERAGE numbers in the 60s . The league is light years ahead of anything we saw in the 60s from the 1980s-on. Bottom line. All of his numbers would drop significantly against better, tougher competition

This assumes that Wilt wouldn't avail himself of modern training techniques. He may not have a season where he averages 50 ppg like he did in his day...

but he would have done a helluva lot more than "hold his own" and would likely have still been a hall of fame quality center.

No shit his #'s would drop. But w/ his skill set I think he'd still be an All Star caliber player.


This is for you

LeBron I think has been the best player in the game this year, and the 10 years before....for 11.

Who is the 7'1" or taller NBA Center in the league today who would be better than Wilt ?

Eh... Georgios Papagiannis and Salah Mejri OBVIOUSLY!!!

If his numbers drop below what they were in the 60s then chances are he would NOT be an all-star player

A difficult question to answer. But here is a list of 7'0" or taller players today that would have absolutely dominated back then.

Joel Embiid
Rudy Gobert
Karl Towns
Hassan Whiteside
Marc Gasol

Porzingas would likely do so as well but the lack of a 3 point line would limit his value so I'm not as sure.
