It is interesting that in the one year that a prime Wilt played in the weaker conference in 1964 that he made the finals.
While averaging over 38 PPG in the WCF vs the Hawks.
I can imagine Wilt just putting up monster numbers in the Western playoffs every year
As Wilt' averaged staggering numbers against the Lakers in the decade of the 60's.
As overall, in those 86 games he played against them in that decade here were his numbers.
40 Point Games: 42
50 Point Games: 19
60 Point Games: 7
70 Point Games: 2
High game of 78 points.
Wilt was very unfortunate in that he had to see Russell and his Celtics dynasty every damn year.
And that ton of the matchups were second-round matchups so Wilt hardly had any time to beat up on soft teams.
As Lebron did from 2011 to 2018.
Imagine if Lebron had to face prime Tim Duncan (prime) and the spurs for most of his career in the second round.
With only one round beforehand to beat up on a scrub team such as the 2009 Hawks... his playoff numbers would nosedive simply based on that context.
