    Bucks version of Kareem was more athletic, but there is a consensus that after Kareem start weight program he hit his peak around 1977 or something like that. Aside from Nate and Wilt in 1970-74 he dominated and destroyed everybody. Even against Blazers with Walton he was very dominant, just Blazzers were better team. My point overall is that if you exclude Kareem games vs Wilt and Nate his stats will be a lot better in terms of shooting efficiency. That's why maybe regular season stats are more representable than the posts. And Hakeem while a good defensive player is not a dominant player like Wilt and not a hard nosed hustling Nate (maybe the greatest one on one defensive center).

    Your back Julizaver my god where in the hell have you been.

    Oh sure he played those guys a lot. Still as the year went on his efficiency against Nate Thurmond improved. For instance from 1973 Kareem shot like 54-55 %TS against Thurmond in the regular season after shooting 46% from 1970-1972. There is evidence that his scoring game improved as the years went on.
