In those games with either Wilt or Russell playing did everyone else on the court just give up on rebounding?

[QUOTE=redrich2000]In those games with either Wilt or Russell playing did everyone else on the court just give up on rebounding?[/QUOTE]
Couple of factors:

'60s was the fastest pace era in league history. NBA last season averaged 82.0 FGA per game. During the '60s the league averaged over 100 with multiple seasons of over 105.
League shot a worse percentage in the '60s compared to the '80s to present. The league average fg% now is around 45. During most of the '60s the league shot 41-43%.
Wilt and Russell averaged 47-48 minutes per game in the playoffs. No one in the modern era plays entire games on the regular.

They were still great rebounders though not taking anything away.

Just my opinion, but I would add playoff games in which the series went to game three's, in a three game series, and game five's, in a five game series. I know that Chamberlain's scoring would go up dramatically in that case (games of 53 and 56 points.)

That would take a long time. Game 7s already took forever.

Kobe(21 years old) 2000 WCF Game 7 - 25 points 11 rebounds 7 assists 4 blocks, orchestrated the 4th quarter comeback against the Blazers, Lakers make the Finals first time since 1991.

Why must we be so subdivded here at ISH? Both LeBron and Kobe have faced the ultimate pressure of a game 7 in the Finals, and both came through with flying colors! Let's look "beyond the box score":

LeBron: [URL="http://espn.go.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=400467339"]Game 7 2013[/URL]

A fine game by the "King". He had a [URL="http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showthread.php?t=324201"]PER[/URL]™ score of 31 which falls into the VERY GOOD range. :bowdown:

Kobe: [URL="http://espn.go.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=300617013"]Game 7 2010[/URL]

Big time game by the "Black Mamba". He had a PER score of 39 which falls into the SIMPLY OUTSTANDING range. :bowdown: :bowdown:

I know that LeBron is a competitor and he has many trips to the Finals in him yet, so I am hoping he will use Kobe's slightly superior game as motivation. How exciting for us!

Warmest regards,

Ayotunde Ndiaye

[QUOTE=jlauber]I have all three of those guys in my top-11. But, from what I have read here, all three are over-rated, particularly Bird and Hakeem. Bird had many flop jobs in his post-season career, lost SEVEN times with HCA, and "only" won three rings playing alongside HOF-laden rosters his entire career. And Hakeem won two rings (one in a season in which MJ did not play), seldom even won 50 games (with a high of 58), and was part of EIGHT first round exits in his 15 post-seasons. Not only that, he won ONE MVP (again, in a season in which MJ took off), came in second, ONE time, and was a top-4 player in FOUR of his 18 seasons. Hell, he wasn't even a top-TEN player in EIGHT of his seasons, or nearly half the time he played.

Kareem? Probably as many post-season gag jobs as Bird, and in his PRIME, in his first TEN seasons, he went to TWO Finals (choking in a game seven of one...in a blowout loss), and winning his ONLY ring in the weakest decade of champions in NBA history with the easiest run to a title in NBA history. He played with teams that won 53 games (best in the league), 56 games, 59 games, 60 games, and 63 games...that did NOT win a title. And he played with rosters for two straight seasons that had the likes of Nixon, Wilkes, Hudson, and Dantley...that were blown away in the post-season.

Had Magic not come along and basically salvaged his career, Kareem would have been considered one of the biggest "underachievers" in NBA history.[/QUOTE]

I can't believe this is the same guy that defends Wilt against everyone, posts selective stats ONLY, and now nitpicks against LARRY BIRD AND KAREEM ABDUL JABBAR, to tear them down with TEAM ACHIEVEMENTS... ("Loosing HC" "Kareem Chokejobs")

The Irony... The Irony.

Total ****ing tool.

Anything to make Wilt look better :oldlol: :oldlol:

Lunatic probably..

Not just that, but he also makes some ridiculous Arguments to bring down other Legends..

He's as Agenda driven as any troll, the difference is he does a good Job of digging up stats... (Although even some of those have been proven as wrong years ago.. Or at least excaggerated.. Like jlauber says "And Wilt shredded them by dropping near 30 ppg" and then Wilt averaged 26...)

If he could present his stats in an unbiased way he could be a contribution to any Forum... But instead he acts like Wilt could cross the red sea.

LeBron's game 7 of the Finals shi*ts on Kobe's. Dwyane Wade also had a better finals game 7 than Kobe.
