Andrew Wiggin's burner account
I probably underrate him, but it's in a similar fashion I do with Bill Russell. There wasn't a ton of great competition that Wilt faced. He was just so much bigger than everyone else that his sheer physical dominance was a lot of the reason for his gaudy numbers. Take for example his season where he averaged 50 points. In that season there were only 9 teams. The Lakers had the 2nd best record in the league with 54 wins. They had one player who was 6'11". Everyone else on the team was 6'8" or smaller. Bill Russell was the tallest player the Celtics had at 6'9".
