Wilt Chamberlain's Faults and Weaknesses

Let's make this simple for you. Russell had 71 FULL seasons from his HOF teammates. With the recent addition of Walker to the HOF, Wilt had 27.

Meschery and All-Star? 16 ppg, 9.8 rpg, .425 shooting in 64 games. BTW, it was his ONLY "All-Star" season...

Rodgers? The WORST shooter in NBA HISTORY (compared to league average.) He even had a season of .347 shooting in a league that only shot .446. Had he just PASSED the ball in his career, he might have won more. Instead, he tried to match Wilt's scoring, and ...

Gola a "HOFer?" I guess if KC Jones is in the HOF, Gola has a case as well. The REALITY was, though, that he was a career 13 ppg, 8 rpg, .430 shooter, who may very well have been the WORST post-season shooter (at least by a "HOFer") in NBA history (whether with, or without Wilt.) In his last two post-seasons with Chamberlain, he shot .271 and .206 (once again, he was just as bad earlier in his post-seasob career, too...without Wilt.)

Baylor in '71 and '72? Go head and look up his games played in those two seasons, as well as his post-season play, and get back to me.

Wilt had at least 2 HOF teammeates 12/14 SEASONS OF HIS CAREER.
He had a HOF teammate EVERY SEASON of his career.

What, you didn't know that the only reason Wilt didn't dominate even more is because the league was always trying to keep him down?

How many did Russell have EVERY season?

How many did Reed have from '68 on?

Chamberlain had to go thru those teams every season, except in '71, when he was without both West and Baylor, and had to battle a 66-16 Bucks team with Oscar and a prime Kareem.

Do some research and get back to me on the "anti-WILT" RULES that were put in place BECAUSE of Wilt.

Chamberlain was busy "carrying garbage players to within eyelashes of winning game 7s"
He was carrying his garbage 2-3 HOFers and some All-Star teammates.

How good were the Warriors BEFORE Chamberlain arrived? Yep...LAST PLACE.

How good were the Sixers BEFORE Chamberlain arrived? 21-20 and the year before, 34-46.

Here's a few, and these are to signify some things Wilt couldn't do. But man, if he could have, he'd probably have finished his career with 13 or 14 rings.







jlauber, if you do have documentation of Wilt walking on water, raising the dead, and/or turning water into wine, I apologize for being wrong.

Wilt was within eyelashes of having 6-7 rings, but his garbage teammates choked so he ended up with 2.

Like the "Wilt-bashers" always do to Wilt...

Where's the VIDEO FOOTAGE of all of those events?

[millwad]

All the spam about Wilt's "horrible" teammates and all the spam about Wilt's crazy competition and then you follow up that with some research and you'll find out this..

Wilt in '67 when he won his first ring faced a 39 win team in the first round, a less talented Boston team than Wilt's own team and a 44 win team in the finals..

And then you go and check out what Wilt's teammates were averaging in the '67 playoffs:

Hal Greer - 27.7 points, 5.3 assists and 5.9 rebounds
Chet Walker - 21.7 points, 7.6 rebounds and 2.1 assists
Wali Jones - 17.5 points, 2.8 rebounds and 4.1 assists
Billy Cunningham - 15 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.2 assists
Luke Jackson -11 points, 11.7 rebounds and 2 assists


BUT BUT BUT... WILT NEVER HAD ANY HELP!?

Oh, and they WON a dominating world title, with Chamberlain destroying Dierking, Russell, and Thurmond in that post-season run.

He FINALLY has a roster EQUAL to Russell's (but not nearly as DEEP), and the result? A title for the ages.

How did the Sixers do before and after Wilt BTW?

[Horatio33]

K.C. Jones was 7, 4 and 3 guy for his career, HOF.
Frank Ramsey's career averages are 13 and 5, and he never averaged more than 15.6 ppg, HOF
Clyde Lovellette averaged 6 and 2 while with Russell's Celtics, HOF
Arnie Risen averaged 7 and 6.5 in 2 years with the Russell. HOF

Not all the Celtics in the HOF are Havliceks, Heinsohns and Cousys.

[millwad]

And poor Wilt had no help in '72 either..

After all, Wilt had only following guys in the playoffs who carried the team on the offensive end while Wilt went back to being a 4th option..

Wilt's teammates stats in the playoffs of '72;

Gail Goodrich - 23.8 points, 4.3 assists and 2.5 rebounds
Jerry West - 22.9 points, 8.9 assists and 4.9 rebounds
Jim McMillan - 19.1 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.5 assists
Happy Hairston - 13.5 points, 13.1 rebounds and 2.1 assists

We hear all this nonsense from Jlauber about Wilt not having worthless teammates but then he is the same guy who a freaking ring in '72 with HOF:ers and 3 guys who averaged more than 19 points per game in the playoffs..
