Who would you rather see play in the NBA today?

[Springsteen]

Wilt Chamberlain or Bill Russell?

[KrizMiz]

neither

i would like to see Rose...

[WillC]

Wilt Chamberlain for sure.

Even though I'm a huge fan of Bill Russell, I'd love to see someone of Wilt's size, athleticism and skill go up against the best players that the NBA has to offer today.

I think Wilt's game would fit right in, especially if he was surrounded by a stretch four and good shooters in the backcourt.

I don't think he'd put up league-leading points; instead, I could see him filling a role like Andrew Bogut or Joakim Noah (but much better than both), i.e. setting screens, making passes from the top of the key, getting put-backs, alley-oops, 'big dipper' finger rolls, etc.

I think he'd put up something like 21.5ppg, 14.5rpg, 4.5apg and 3.5bpg.

Not sure. Wilt would be more dominant individually. Russell has some doubters in this field, but I think he'd still be among the individually most dominant players, so I'm not sure whether I'd take the player who would probably dominate more or the player who would have to prove more people wrong.
One thing is certain, I'd rather see them play than any current player.

I think everyone of those numbers would be low for a prime Chamberlain.

[Milbuck]

We've already seen Javale McGee and Nerlens Noel in today's game.

Seriously though, Wilt.

[navy]

Bill Russell.

I dont think Wilt would have much of a problem playing today. Russell im more skeptical.

[JohnMax]

elgin baylor

[Done_And_Done]

Based on the mystique and overall curiosity, I would prefer to see Wilt.

[G0ATbe]

Neither tbh. Maybe Wilt strictly for the purpose of watching his fans react to him averaging around 2ppg/4rpg.

[j3lademaster]

Bill Russell.

I dont think Wilt would have much of a problem playing today. Russell im more skeptical.My thoughts exactly. Every clip I've seen of Wilt, Russell's defense has been atrocious.

You have to account for the fact that he would most likely have WAYYYYYYYYYYYYY lower usage rate with the NBA's current style.

Plus he would need a few games to adjust to the rule changes, etc

[SamuraiSWISH]

I want to see prime Barkley in today's league.

[AirFederer]

87-90's MJ :eek: :eek:

[D-FENS]

Bob Cousy

[Genaro]

Chamberlain, I'm not too excited to see Russell since we already have DeAndre Jordan around.

[HomieWeMajor]

The greatest center of all time obviously


Kareem.
