Hey look! A prediction based username that actually worked out. Well done. Originally Posted by Spurs5Rings2014

pretty sure you should yes, but it's so outrageous such a player never could have existed

Wilt averaged 50.4 ppg on a .506 eFG% in an NBA that shot an eFG% of .426.
He also averaged 44.8 ppg on a .528 FG%, in an NBA that shot an eFG% of .441; 33.5 ppg on a .540 eFG% in a league that shot .433; and 24.1 ppg on a .683 eFG% in a league that shot .441.
By contrast, in David Robinson's highest scoring season, he averaged 29.8 ppg on a .507 eFG%, in an NBA that had an eFG% of .485.
And in Hakeem's highest scoring season, he averaged 27.8 ppg on a .516 eFG%, in a league that had an eFG% of .500.

Great post... and once you get to a certain point, the more shots you shoot, the less your FG% will be.. Originally Posted by LAZERUSS

Wilt's the goat scorer... Hakeem and Shaq aren't doing any BETTER than 50ppg and 25 rebs or whatever... they'd either match that or much more likely, do worse.
Wilt's physique was better suited for scoring at that pace - he was the biggest (bigger than Shaq), easily the longest (9'6" standing reach), and the lightest on his feet - i don't think Shaq or Hakeem would have had Wilt's stamina or sheer ability to just dominate for 48 minutes and 40 shots a game.Last edited by 3ball; 08-21-2014 at 01:43 AM.

Jerkoffs who wouldn't be a bench-warmer on their shitty ass HS team keep crapping on all-time greats. I got news for you, that huge void y'all feel deep down is never going away no matter how much you hate on somebody else's accomplishments.
