So if anyone thought Kareem gives you better or more efficient scoring output on fewer attempts, or that Wilt shot dramatically worse when shooting on similar volumes as Kareem ...well ...that's not what the numbers say.

[Odinn]

I think we still need ts% or ft% alone to support those fg% numbers and justify that conclusion.
The main idea behind our claim is "Kareem took less from his teammates to produce similar number of points".
I know it's not one the best advanced stats but usg% could be very useful on this matter.

But, TBH, that's far close than I expected.

What it shows to me is that Wilt - despite his poorer free throw shooting - was able to offset the free throw edge Jabbar had and then some by being more accurate from the field than Jabbar at most every type of shot volume and on top of that was fouled so many more times than Kareem that he still scored a good measure more points at the free throw line on similar field goal attempt volumes. And while he wasn't a great foul shooter, drawing more fouls also puts the other teams players in foul trouble more easily.

Well, another issue about these numbers;

You, yourself, stated Wilt played as his team's dedicated volume scorer for 3 seasons. He was his team's go-to guy for like 8-9 seasons.
But Kareem on the other hand, he was the go-to guy until end of 1985-86 season. That makes 17 seasons. Twice of Wilt. This has surely an effect on those numbers.

When Wilt made 25 attempts at the age of 34, that means he was on a roll, his fg% was better. When Kareem made 25 attempts at the age of 34, that meant his team needed his half-court offense and he was facing more attention from opponent defense.

What I'm saying, you clarified Wilt's spans for his offensive roles. And you should do such thing for Kareem's situation. Other wise, this thread's just a biased opinion.

I don't think so not really, it's just what each player scored on a given volume. If Wilt attempted 25 shots in his prime scoring years - it was an off night. So this concern about him doing it as an old man riding a hot hand is moot.

The other topic I've shed light on shows this same thing. No matter what Wilt's volumes - he was generally still going to get you a few more points on a slightly better efficiency. And when he really wanted to get points in large volume, nobody could keep up.

Awful lot of 6 shots or less games and an awful lot of W's regardless of the number of shots taken for a player allegedly only concerned about stats and not about winning.

Get back to me when someone gets close to taking 40 FGA for the season, or even 30.

Kareem career total FG/FGA: 15837 28307 56% total points: 38387
Kareem career FT%: 72%
Wilt career total FG/FGA: 12681 23497 54% total points: 31419
Wilt career FT%: 50% :oldlol:
Awful lot of fuss you make about Wilt's FG% and efficiency but still fall flat.

[feyki]

I think , you should make more compare about ShaqvsWilt than Kareem . Kareem had efficient and team play , who is made 50+ pts once . Shaq and Wilt(60-65) had far more scorer mind and ball hogging . Kareem's special point is playmaking and shooting (Also defence against Shaq) .

Funny thing...when Wilt and KAJ were the in league together, Chamberlain was more of a winner.

Of course, a prime Chamberlain was more of a winner than a prime KAJ was, as well.

It was certainly no coincidence that KAJ started winning his rings when the GOAT winner arrived. In fact the GOAT winner led his team to a 62-17 record the year after Kareem retired (and then yet another Finals, the next year.) Oh, and the GOAT winner could take his team to a clinching win in the Finals while Kareem was watching the game from his couch and nursing a mild sprain.

Had Chamberlain had MAGIC for 10 seasons, and there would have been absolutely no doubt that he would have added more than rings to his resume.

I love Magic. To me he is the 2nd best player I've ever seen. And I agree with the premise of your Wilt/Kareem comparison here. But in what way does Magic qualify for "GOAT Winner"?

Or even worse, an absolute, definitive statement of "GOAT Winner" in the quoted post?

He has the highest career winning percentage in NBA history, at .740. But, it gets even better, in their ten seasons in the league together, in the games KAJ missed, Magic went .750 in them (including 1-0 in the Finals.) In fact, take away Kareem entirely from Magic's career, and even include Magic's part-time '96 season...and his winning percentage was .742. BTW, in their ten years in the league together, in the games that Magic missed, KAJ went .604.

BTW, I have Magic at #3 on my all-time list, and just ahead of Kareem.

Magic is greatest winner of seasons , not playoffs . Bill Russell is(playoffs) .

Magic won jack squat without Kareem, your boy admitted he wanted to play with Kareem "the best player in the world" and that he would pass the ball in the clutch to Kareem cause he was the leader and the one they looked to whenever they needed a basket.
Now Wilt is the guy who promised to win game 7s but had to ask the coach to bench him during the 4th quarter cause a retiring Bill Russell was kicking his ass yet again :roll: :roll:

The OP posted that both Wilt and Kareem shot 52% from the field when taking 25-32 FGA/game.



So in that scenario Wilt Chamberlain in 196 games sample (28.4 FGA avg)
36.4ppg (52FG%, 52FT%)
25.1rpg, 3.4apg

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar averaged in 304 games sample (28.2 FGA avg)
34.3ppg (52FG%, 70FT%)
15.9rpg, 4.2apg


Take into account that Wilt shot 52% from the line and Kareem 70% and that Wilt took more free throws because he was intentionally fouled...

Kareem is the more efficient scorer no doubt about it. At least 3-4% gap in TS%.

Magic finished AHEAD of Kareem in the MVP balloting EVERY season after '82, ...their last EIGHT seasons together.


As for West. Great in '69, lost game seven in '70, didn't play in the playoffs in '71, puked all over the court in the '72 post-season and Finals, but thanks to WILT, won his only ring, and in '73 was a broken down worthless shell in the Finals.

Wilt was, BY FAR, the Lakers best player from '70 thru '73. Not even close.

Actually Magic won the ring in '80. Where was KAJ in that clinching game? He was HOME watching Magic hang one of the GOAT Finals performances of all-time, and leading that Laker team to a blowout win on the road (their biggest win of the series BTW.) CLEARLY, MAGIC could carry teams to titles.

As he would in '82, when Bob McAdoo was putting up the same numbers that Kareem did, but in considerably less minutes.

As he would in '87 when KAJ was a "third-wheel" and easily replaceable.

And as he would do again in '88, when KAJ diod all he could to LOSE that Finals, with the worst Finals, and the worst game seven, ever by a GOAT candidate.

And when Magic carried the '89 Lakers to an 11-0 record going into the Finals, but was injured in game two...a sweeping loss.

KAJ retired, and the Lakers IMPROVED. They went from a 57-25 team, to a 63-19 team (62-17 with Magic.)

And Magic would take an injury-riddled, rapidly declining Laker team to yet another Finals in his last season (going 57-22 with him.)

Magic retired, and the roof caved in. Records of 43-39 and 39-43. About the same record they had with KAJ, when Magic joined them in '79-80, and immediately led them to a world title.

[Anaximandro1]

Magic won jack squat without Kareem, your boy admitted he wanted to play with Kareem "the best player in the world" and that he would pass the ball in the clutch to Kareem cause he was the leader and the one they looked to whenever they needed a basket.

Kareem was Lakers' go-to-guy until the very end ...

Kareem had an amazing career ... only Russell/Wilt/Jordan deserve to be compared to Kareem tbh.

Kareem was the leader of 80 and 81 LA .

Magic was the leader of 87-91 LA .

82-86 LA were showtime LA . Magic or Kareem , Both had leadership of that team sometimes .

Absolutely meaningless numbers.

REALITY. Kareem went to TWO Finals, and won ONE, in his 10 prime seasons. In his other eight prime seasons, he was either losing with HCA, getting swept, getting blownout in the second round, losing with in the first round twice (with a heavily favored 60 win team), or missing the playoffs altogether twice.

Now, what happened in the last 10 years of his career, the last nine of which were with a slow and steady decline? Did he suddenly learn how to win? Or do you think something else might have been at work here. Maybe something even Magical?"

Wilt chucked 60 times in a game where he shot 38% :biggums:

You sure that wasn't Lebald's finals stats?

Ahahaha Kareem did learn how to win by Magic :oldlol: :oldlol: :oldlol:


Amazing , amazing :applause: :applause: :lol :lol

He chucked 63 times in a game in which he scored 100 points, as well. He even chucked from the line 32 times that game.

Of course, he ad 66 point games on 29-35 shooting, as well. Maybe you find another more efficient 60+ point game. If you look hard enough, you will find he had FOUR of the Top-6 in terms of FG% efficiency (and, of course, the record.)

[LAZERUSS]

BTW, a PEAK Kareem, playing from the second half of his rookie season, including the playoffs; his entire '71 season, including the post-season; and his '72 regular season; was as great a pure peak as the league has ever witnessed. Only a peak Chamberlain was as dominant.

moms use to call wilt "shaq in shape."

They were calling a 50 year old Wilt that...

Actually, he was labeled "Zeus."

So if anyone thought Kareem gives you better or more efficient scoring output on fewer attempts, or that Wilt shot dramatically worse when shooting on similar volumes as Kareem ...well ...that's not what the numbers say.
Awesome! Thanks for putting time into this, I actually mentioned it few days ago on here


Anyway you could do something like this but with there attempts/FG% VS Thurmond?
