Wilt Chamberlain looks as if he could of played 30+ years had he wanted

[jongib369]

Wilt as far as the eyeball test goes, is the TRUE Ironman of the NBA- Not Kareem, or the mailman

I WISH he came back....I want a poster of Jordan dunking on Wilt, with one of Wilt blocking the shit out of him right next to it

It looks like Kareems the one that retired in the 70s

[GoranDragon]

he would get BULLIED by tougher bodies like Shaq and Dwight it would be a travesty to his 2 rings.

Dwight??? The 6-9 265 lb Dwight...against a near 7-2 Wilt, who weighed between 290-310 for much of his career, and who bullied the likes of 6-11 265 lb. Bob Lanier?

As for Shaq...

How do you explain this...

Are Bullies the smaller ones where you're from?

[CelticBaller]

hes dead

[GoranDragon]

Wilt was USED TO having no competition in his era. The sudden influx of tougher man at the center position would shock him so bad he will cry. Dwight, Shaq, Hakeem, Ewing, even Demarcus Cousins would eat Wilt alive.

[LAZERUSS]

hes dead

And prop up his corpse under the basket, and 90% of today's centers would not score a point on him...

[GoranDragon]

This is the guy that choked in multiple playoffs and ended up with only 2 rings in an era where Bill Russell dominated for 11 rings. I think it's obvious what today's center will do to Wilt, it's gonna be sad to see Shaq abuse him.

[GoranDragon]

Please explain why he only have 2 rings in an era where Russell got 11. Please do explain that.

[LAZERUSS]

Probably the same reason that MJ didn't win any rings from '85 to '90. Or Shaq not winning rings in 16 of his 20 seasons. Or Duncan "failing" in 13 of his. Or KAJ "losing" in 14 of his. And Hakeem...hell he couldn't get past the first round in the majority of his 18 seasons. What about him? Were Eaton, Thompson, AC Green, etc. etc, just too much for him?

Please...

His teams were far superior more than most of the time, and most of his teammates were healthy and or able to play. But I know you're trolling because the arguments have been destroyed in the past by posters who know a lot more than myself. But even my simple arguments shit on your bullshit. My shit trumps your shit

His main rival got more than 5x the amount of rings he has. That is just pathetic and speaks a lot about how overrated his stats are compared to actually winning.

Same reason why Lebron only has 2 in a decade.

[LAZERUSS]

I always like this one...

In Chamberlain's last season, at age 36, he battled the 6-11 265 lb HOFer Bob Lanier six times, and averaged 20 ppg on ...get this.. an .836 FG%.

And if you combine his 71-72 season, with that 72-73 season, he faced Lanier a total of 11 games, and averaged 24 ppg on a .784 FG%.

BTW, Lanier's career best season came in that 71-72 season. And he would go on to be among the best centers in the league until the early 80's.

Honestly, posters like this who are so simple minded should just get perma banned

:roll:

I don't mind legitimate criticisms but this is just silly nonsense that lowers the quality of the board

Just look at that. Wilt's "competition". That is a joke. All skinny short white guys. Wilt could've gotten 10+ rings and he underachieved with 2, while his rival got 11.

I don't see Russell, Hondo, or Sam Jones in that photo, do you?

Lanier was 286lbs when he went up against Wilt

I tend to exaggerate to make Wilt look better...(oh wait, I blew that one...)

[GoranDragon]

Nate Thurmond is a ringless nobody that poses no threat in today's league, sure he gave Wilt some much needed "competition" but majority of his peers are still skinny short white guys.

2 rings to your rival's 11 is just sad.:facepalm

Just curious...how do you think a peak Kareem would have fared in today's NBA?

So is Kareem a Joke too? Considering Thurmond defended him better than anyone

Peak Kareem would be a top 6 big man behind Anthony Davis, Kevin Love, LMA, Dwight Howard and Cousins.

He wouldn't win a ring though, he needed a rookie Magic to carry him.

So you also think that Hakeem and Ewing would be pure crap in today's NBA, as well?

No, Hakeem and Ewing played in a FAR FAR FAR more competitive and tough era. That's fact. The 60s is baby version of NBA compared to the 80s and 90s. Don't get me started on the 00s.

You might want to look up the box scores of Kareem VS Hakeem and Ewing

I think this is worthy of your thread "Dumbest things said..."
