Put Whiteside in the 60s

[deja vu]

What do you think would be his averages? Would he be a superstar and HOFer?

[Richesly]

He would be 100x the player Wilt was.

I think he would average around 85 points and 50+ rebounds.

Would actually be good in the playoffs also.

Not trolling.

This thread is a troll.

Of course when you put some ****ing one from the year 2015 in the '60s, they are going to be the best player in the league.

Stop making these retarded ****ing threads, thank you.

Posted this in another thread, might as well repost:



Dude is getting 24 rebounds in 3 quarters in this 90 possession per game age against other big studs.

Put him against 6 foot unathletic white guys with 125 possession games for 48 minutes and 35+ rebounds per game isn't out of the question.

Lazeruss and his son are bias beyond belief, I can't take them serious.

[CelticBaller]

is this a joke?

[coin24]

Seeing as the competition was barely 6 foot white guys I'm guessing he'd be like prime shaq. Unstoppable. MDE.:bowdown:

[Richesly]

Also, if anyone can take Lazeruss seriously after his alt Jlauber was exposed to be Lazeruss, then they are idiots. Jlauber would make a thread, and get on Lazeruss to agree with it, or vice versa.

35/20 peak isn't out of the question.

Whiteside has a jumper, Wilt didn't have no jumper. I'm also fairly certain Whiteside's hook shot would be money over 6'5 centers. I'd expect 50ppg and 25rpg with 10bpg at the very least.

Yes I remember the endless bickering, I don't think milwad is a jlau's alt though. j already has a known alt so I guess it could be possible.

Too different to say. Hes not gonna just walk out and dominate the likes of Wilt. He put up 13/9 in college vs centers who couldnt hold a candle to Wilt as a physical specimen. He scores mostly on plays that wouldnt be availiable in 1962. You think they are throwing him 6 alley oops in 1963? Its entirely possible he wouldnt even have survived that first injury that knocked him out for a year and sent him to china in the 60s.

What im fairly sure of....

If he stays healthy wearing the modern equal of 8 dollar dollar store slippers 44 minutes a night with no road doctors he would rack up rebounds and block a lot of shots nobody would have record of.

Beyond that...he can run out on the break and finish enough layups and dunks to probably put up 15-18 a game on somewhat poor shooting(if they forced him the ball) once we factor in the other things he would be asked to do.

A 60s center was just that...the center of the gameplan. There is no evidence he can do the things expected of him in the halfcourt. Centers then were expected to score in the post...often times run the offense...find cutters...

I dont see him as a bringing the ball up and calling a play or running the floor finding shooters type like Russell.

He would be the same thing he is now. Too big...too fast...too long...but you know what the result would be?

People in 2015 saying that if you put Taj Gibson in the 60s he would eat Whiteside alive.

You think this mentality:



Of course when you put some ****ing one from the year 2015 in the '60s, they are going to be the best player in the league.


Wouldnt just envelop whiteside too?

Wilt was a 7'1'' barefoot 260-310 pound superhuman. This dude was a half step from Olympic level in sports he half assed. His feats in official track events beyond all claims of myth are fairly absurd for someone his size. Not exceptional for a guy 6'2''. For someone his size? Wilt is a freak of nature if all you consider are the irrefutable track records. How many people over 250 pounds you buy having jumped 22 feet? At over 300 pounds and after his knee injuries hes still getting up around 12 feet off verticals:

http://www.eba-stats.com/images/legends/chamberlain_jabbar.JPG


He isnt some god jumping 58 inches...but he was exceptional and one of a very short list of people near his size capable of doing the things he did.

And we have people just assuming Whiteside is gonna kick his ass.

If Whiteside were transported to play in the 60s under a different name...people making these assumptions would assume he would kick his own ass.

All they would know of him is that he got 23 rebounds a game, had some blocks we have no record of, and that he played a long time ago.

Kareem in his prime played Nate Thurmond past his and never scored 40. But at damn near 40 he abused Ewing and Hakeem a few times. Had at least 4 40 point games against them(combined).

Wilt handed Nate Thurmond games of 45/25...38/26. And most of his games vs Nate were after he was told/decided not to be a bigtime scorer.

But Hasaan Whiteside is just gonna show up and go to town on these guys?

Really...what is he gonna do man to man on Nate that Kareem couldnt do? You think your vertical factors in when a guy is leaning on your back?

Kareem near 40 was more than holding his own vs guys who were still in the NBA when I started posting here...

But Willis Reed is damn near playing him as an equal in his prime.

You think he would be free to roam around and disregard the opposing center and hunt for blocks like he often can now?

Hes gonna have to man up on Wilt, Bellamy, Reed, and so on depending on exactly what years we mean. With less teams....half the time hed be playing someone entirely capable of dropping 40-50 if he doesnt stay home and involved in the personal battle.

His responsibilities and expectations would change too much to even start to project what he would do in any meaningful way.

Common sense tells you...if the other team shoots enough to miss 90 shots hes gonna have a lot of rebounds. It also tells you that if they attack him with guards hes gonna rack up blocks.

Beyond that I dont know how you decide hes gonna be great. Or especially effective.

Walt Bellamy put up 30/20 and wasnt especially effective..just productive.

The most effective player at times put up 12-15 a game and led with determination, respect, and an all around game.

What evidence do we have of Whitesides ability to be a leader of men? Inspire greatness in others like Russell?

If all it took to be Bill Russell was insane athletic ability I suspect the gold medal winning world record holding high jumper who was 6'9'' and played for the Warriors wouldnt have been a backup you never heard of.

Who can even say Hassan can play the minutes those guys logged? Hesplayed 43 games in his career...with a total of 493 minutes.

Bill Russell played more minutes in 11 games in some playoff runs.

Wilt chamberlain played every second of a season...except for when he was ejected for arguing with a ref in a game he had 36 points in at the time.

Whiteside(according to Spo) gets tired and has to come out to rest after short bursts.

Even if you(wrongly) think everyone in the 60s was a scrub....they were scrubs playing 200+ possessions on a court the same size it is now.

What evidence is there to suggest Whiteside can perform at his current level when he plays every second of an OT playoff game in which there are 256 shots? Wilt did it. And played well and won down the stretch.

He comes out of games after 12 trips down the floor.

You asking him to play 220 trips without coming out...drinking water not gatorade...in arenas with no air conditioning?

Maybe he could.

But thats a bigass maybe.

They were leaner for good reason. They were conditioned for stamina not short bursts of all out effort like a Whiteside, Tyrus Thomas, or Birdman.

Its entirely possible he would be playing 22 minutes a game in the 60s...getting about 13 rebounds and blocking the hell out some shots....and we wouldnt even remember he existed.

Its possible hes productive but a loser like Walt Bellamy.

Its possible he collapses into a Lebron ass cramp from playing 52 minutes with no AC.

I dont know.

But I strongly suspect he doesnt just show up and blow the best players away.

He would be out of his element.

Way out of it.
