Reminder: Wilt single handedly lost the 1969 finals

[feyki]

Bill doubled Wilt for feeding teammates all the time ( beside of 67, 68? ) .

When did Laz start hating LeBron?

Wasn't he cheering for LeBron during the finals?? Also, cheered for LeBron during the early part of the year for being "underappreciated like Wilt"???

[Psileas]

Every great player faces other great players and teams in the playoffs. That's the nature of the beast.

Yes, but not all kinds of great teams are able to limit all types of great scorers. For example, the 60's perennial finalists Lakers rarely had a cat's chance in hell of limiting Wilt. Their main weapon was their perimeter scoring and perimeter defense. But such a matchup never happened in the playoffs.

[Lebron23]

Wilted under pressure.

Another reason we can all admit Lebron and Wilt are similar

Lebron single handedly lost 2011 and 2007 by himself.

2007 bricking left and right

2011 being a mental midget

If I banned people for being idiots ISH would have 30 members tops.



So missing 9 in a 2 point game...means you individually lost it...but missing 4 doesnt?



Wilt put up 18/27/5 and 7 blocks on 88% shooting. But he was the worst of the bunch...





Id say...not being in the game....fairly good reason not to blame one for its loss. I...and 100% of people on this planet...with a hint of fairness.

Injured....treated...kept playing...knee gives out again on the other end...sits for the first time....in the entire playoffs..gets it worked on...asks back in.....coach doesnt let him come back.

Team loses.

You give him full blame for the loss...you are stupid. "Stupid" is the word for such people.





You really use Wilt Chamberlain....as the example of someone with low standards?

The guy who had 60/30 games with 20 in the 4th and got blamed for losing? The guy who was at times the NBAs leading scorer...rebounder...assister...shot blocker...set still standing shooting percentage records...led what was at the time....the best team ever by record...AND....the second best ever....won 33 games in a row....2 titles...would have 2 finals MVPS had the award existed in the 60s....

And spent 40 years being hated on for it?

This is the guy with low standards?

At one point he led a team to a 47-3 start....won the title that year....and was getting called out for a lack of scoring.

Guy goes from 50 points...every night...to being utterly selfless passing out every time and shooting like 70% as his teammates carry the scoring load on the way to historic rates of winning.....gets hated on anyway. He was hated on for being selfish and losing.....and for being unselfish and winning.

This is the guy you treat like a posterboy for low standards?

You show me anyone else who can get negative articles written after a 65/30 game he loses...while his teammates combine to shoot like 35%....AND get negative articles written for having 8 points and 28 rebounds with 8 assists and 12 blocks in a WIN....because the perception is hes not scoring like hes supposed to and the team didnt win by as much as it should have.

One finals game in 67...he had 16 points....33 rebounds...10 assists...and 9 blocks....one of which was on the potential game winner from Nate thurmond...and he had to answer questions about only having the 16 points? A few days later....10 points...27 rebounds....8 assists...and 15 blocks.

15.

He blocked 15 shots.

People wrote about the 10 points.

That playoffs he had 7 triple doubles...2 of them quadruple doubles.

He had a triple double....followed by a quadruple double...in the finals...and nobody gave a shit. And nobody gives a shit now. Because its Wilt. Anyone else...is among the most celebrated feats in history. Wilt? Nobody even knows. He was one block from back to back quadruple doubles in a finals he WON....and the only takeaway is that he scored only 17ppg which helps drag down his finals averages for know nothings to laugh at.

Nobody in the history of team sports was ever held to a higher standard than Wilt Chamberlain and nobody ever will be.

Where do you see these statistics? I thought blocks weren't recorded back then.
