    Yep...

    outscored him, 21-4; outrebounded him, 24-3, and outshot him from the floor, 10-16 to 2-5.

    Of course, that was a Wilt who was only four months removed from major knee surgery, and who was nowhere near 100%. In fact, medical opinion at the time had him missing that entire season, and considering that he weighed around 300 lbs at the time...perhaps as much as career-ending.

    You forgot to mention he sat out the final minutes of the game when they needed him most. And at the very start of the game reed is already injured, he could barely move wasn't fit to play at all and ILt couldn't dominate the game to seal the title. ILt was cleared to play, Reed was injured during the very start of the game let that sink in for a moment...... heck ILt dominated game 6, so much for being 4 months removed from surgery.

    Yep...a Chamberlain was EXPECTED to put up a 45-27 game EVERY TIME he stepped on the floor, right?

    Interesting...a HEALTHY Jordan followed up his 63 point playoff game with a 19 point game...in a blowout sweeping loss.

    A PEAK HEALTHY Kareem followed up his 34 point game six, with a 26 point game seven, and was outscored and outrebounded by Cowens...in a blowout loss on his home floor.

    A PEAK Kobe followed up his 50 point game six, with a game seven of 24 points, in a 31 point loss.

    A PRIME Shaq followed up his 36 point game four, with a 20 point game five...in a blowout and stunning upset loss in the '04 Finals.

    How come? How come these guys didn't put up their best ever games, all the time...especially considering that they were all HEALTHY?

    Those guys didn't lose more than they won in the finals. Here hold this

    To be fair, outside of the first clip, Wilt looked great.
