[Lebron23]

Who's the better NBA player? Who's the better player at their peak? 1962 Wilt vs. 2016 Curry.

Swap that Wilt with this Curry, and with their original supporting casts, and you tell me.

[LAZERUSS]

BTW, in Chamberlain's '62 season, he had numerous b2b's, with a considerably number of three-games-in-three-nights, a handful of four-games-in-four nights, and even separate stretch of five-games-in-five-nights.

Does anyone here honestly believe that Glass could hold up under that schedule?

BTW, a peak Chamberlain played from '65-66 thru '67-68.

[LAZERUSS]

In Wilt's '62 season, he played all but eight minutes of the entire regular season, and then every minute of his 12 post-season games.

How about Glass in this year's post-season?

Cant believe Casey cut Biyombo's minutes in half

went from 41 minutes Game 4 to 20 in Game 5

:roll: :roll:

Curry >>>>>> Ilt Chokerlain.

[AirFederer]

At this point I`d give Wilt a slight edge on offense. Curry has a clear edge on defense.
Curry obviously the better all around player, as he won a ring as the Man, which Wilt never did. Wilt still ATG player, doe.

:cheers:

Obviously Ilts quitting nature made him not very well respected among his peers.

Wilt and I go way back. When I was in high school, there were only two men I could be like, Wilt or Bill Russell. I kept a scrapbook of photos of both of them in action. Wilt lived in New York then, and I sought out his company. I'd run down the block just to say hello. But as I grew older, I strongly disagreed with some of the positions he took, like supporting Richard Nixon for President and denigrating black women in his autobiography. But I've never really disliked Wilt, and I've always respected him professionally for what he achieved. He was one of the best centers to have ever played the game. I've decided to take this opportunity to respond to all the aspersions he's cast on me over the years:


An Open Letter to Wilt Chumperlame
(from Kareem)

It's been several years now, Wilt, that you have been criticizing my career with your friends in the press. Since this pattern does not seem to have any end in sight, I feel that I might as well have my say about the situation.

It would seem that someone who achieved as much as you did would be satisfied with his career. After all, some of the things you did in your time were quite admirable and have given us an enduring set of records for the books. So why all the jealousy and envy?

In trying to figure this out, I started to look for what you would be jealous of, and that's when the picture started to become clear. Many remember how frustrated you were when your team couldn't win the NCAA tournament. Your talent and abilities were so great that everyone assumed the NCAA was all yours. But after a terrific triple-overtime game, Kansas lost. You complained about the officiating, your teammates and other things, and then quit, leaving college early to tour with the Globetrotters. That seemed to set a pattern for you. After any tough test in which you didn't do well, you blamed those around you and quit.

In professional basketball, Bill Russell and the Boston Celtics gave you a yearly lesson in real competitive competence and teamwork. All you could say was that your teammates stunk and that you had done all you could, and besides, the refs never gave you a break. Poor Wilt.

In 1967, your team finally broke through. That 76er team established records that are still standing today. But the following year, the Sixers lost and, predictable as ever, you quit. You came out to L.A. and got with a dream team. The only lack that team had was leadership at the center position. Bill and the Celts took one from you in '69, and the Knicks followed suit in '70. People are still trying to figure out where you disappeared to in that series. True to form, after the Knicks beat the Lakers in the world championship in 1973, you quit and haven't been seen on the court since.

Of course, you came out every so often to take a cheap shot at me. During the sixth game of the world championship series in 1988, you stated, "Kareem should have retired five years ago." I can now see why you said that. If I had quit at the time you suggested, it would have been right after a disappointing loss to the 76ers. And it would have been typical of one of your retreats.

But after that loss, I decided that I had more to give. I believed in myself and in the Lakers and stuck with it. We went on to win three out of four world championships between '85 and '88. The two teams you played on that won world championships, in '67 and '72, never repeated. They never showed the consistency that the Lakers of the '80s have shown. And you didn't want me to be part of that.

Given your jealousy, I can understand that. So , now that I have left, one thing will be part of my legacy: People will remember that I worked with my teammates and helped us win. You will be remembered as a whining crybaby and a quitter, stats and all.

oh snap :eek:

Kareem's open letter to Scottie Pippen in 2011...

http://lakersblog.latimes.com/lakersblog/2011/05/kareem-abdul-jabbar-questions-scottie-pippens-argument-that-lebron-james-may-be-the-greatest-player-.html

[QUOTE]So without further ado, here is Abdul-Jabbar's open letter to Pippen, which was recently obtained by The Times:

How Soon They Forget: An Open Letter to Scottie Pippen

Dear Scottie,

I have nothing but respect for you my friend as an athlete and knowledgeable basketball mind. But you are way off in your assessment of who is the greatest player of all time and the greatest scorer of all time. Your comments are off because of your limited perspective. You obviously never saw Wilt Chamberlain play who undoubtedly was the greatest scorer this game has ever known. When did MJ ever average 50.4 points per game plus 25.7 rebounds? (Wilt in the 1962 season when blocked shot statistics were not kept). We will never accurately know how many shots Wilt blocked. Oh, by the way in 1967 and 68, Wilt was a league leader in assists. Did MJ ever score 100 points in a game? How many times did MJ score more than 60 points in a game? MJ led the league in scoring in consecutive seasons for 10 years but he did this in an NBA that eventually expanded into 30 teams vs. when Wilt played and there were only 8 teams.

Every team had the opportunity to amass a solid nucleus. Only the cream of the basketball world got to play then. So MJ has to be appraised in perspective. His incredible athletic ability, charisma and leadership on the court helped to make basketball popular around the world -- no question about that. But in terms of greatness, MJ has to take a backseat to The Stilt.

In terms of winning, Michael excelled as both an emotional and scoring leader but Bill Russell

Explain to us why we are supposed to care about Kareem's opinion:oldlol:

Fact is Curry is much better than Ilt aka Mr 22 ppg in the playoffs and Mr 18 ppg in the finals.

It seems that kareem was not aware that the person he was adressing - Pippen - was a better finals scorer than ilt:lol

Feeble...:roll: :roll: :roll:

A Warrior Wilt averaged 29.2 ppg in his Finals; 34.6 ppg in his playoffs; 36.0 ppg in his "must win and series clinching" playoff games; and had playoff games of 50, 50, 53, and a Warrior RECORD 56 point (BTW...a TRIPLE DOUBLE 56-35-11 must win playoff game.)

Of course, anyone that knows anything about NBA history (which you obviously don't) KNOWS that the REAL FINALS in the decade of the 60's was between Wilt, and Russell's Celtics. And, Wilt had post-season series against Russell of 28.0 ppg, 29.2 ppg, 30.1 ppg, 30.5 ppg, and 33.6 ppg against Russell and his swarming Celtics.

Now, go ahead and post Chokurry Zero's Warriors' playoffs, and Finals numbers. You and I both KNOW that they PALE in comparison to Lord Chamberlain.

Next...
The real Finals are the Finals, retard. Ilt Chokerlain averaged 18 PPG in the FINALS. 6th and 7th leading scorer the two times he won rings. 22 PPG in the PO's as well.
