Wasn't that a league average fg% from the 50s?

Yeah, it doesn't lead to anything productive for the majority of the time. Sure, sometimes there can be great post (Kblaze, tharegul8r, etc...), but usually the thread is never formed to get that type of answer to begin with.

Few can post like that guy.
Those posters don't invest a lot of time into places like this. Just too much simple-minded thinking.

Re: Why are the old-time stans so delusional?
I understand that a lot of this discussion is hypothetical, but one side has produced a mountain of factual evidence and actually knows what they're talking about whereas the other is just repeating the same thing over and over. You'd think at some point it would change but no.

Re: Why are the old-time stans so delusional?
As far as I know players today still play the game of basketball and most of them suck at its fundamentals. So how is it delusional to think an all-time player with great athleticism, superior fundamentals and understanding of the game wouldn't be able to dominate?

Re: Why are the old-time stans so delusional?
It is pretty ridiculous in the sense of thinking that everyone has a portable game that can be dropped in any time and any place with the exact same results. That's insane actually. I grew up loving the history the game more than the current game, but as you learn more about the game you should improve your understanding of it as well. Offensive and defensive schemes and strategies are different than even 10 yrs ago. The game has constantly evolved over time and sure Wilt would be great in this era, but would he excel at all the changes his game would undergo to be viable in this era? It's impossible to say, there's just as much room for them to be lesser players in a modern era as there is to be even greater than they were......

You stupid 14 years old. Wilt Chamberlain was a dominant force in the 60, and in his twilight holding his own with Jabbar, the same Jabbar that scored 46 on Hakeem on the 80, the same Hakeem that destoyed Shaq in the 95 Finals, the same Shaq Who win 3 straight Fmvp in 2000. ..do you understand? ? Did you See the point?

Re: Why are the old-time stans so delusional?
you underrate the shit out of current players. You and dondadda should be last posters to cry about anyone underrating players from past eras.
If you want any intelligent discussions then ignore the posters who say that Wilt would average 10 pts a game and at the same time stop using the terms like "ignorant-ass kid" because it shows that you're a kid yourself.

Re: Why are the old-time stans so delusional?
read your post again and tell me again why anyone should think of you as a mature poster.
You and dondadda insult anyone who doesn't agree with you. i am starting to think that trolls like silk do a great job of replying to your posts. i rarely post in wilt or russell threads now given that no one and that includes you, knows anything about their game other than stats and a few highlight plays and may be a few full games at most. You have to study players for years and see 30-40 full playoff games to make any judgement on them to make a case for top 10 or top 5 of all time.
Even if you were alive to see them, people you debate with weren't alive and it is only logical to not believe what you can't see.
I respect wilt and Russell going by their stats but that is it. May be they were greater than what their stats show or may be they were worse but comparing them to current players is pointless as we don't have enough footage to make any good point in favor of them or against them. Why is that so hard for posters like you to understand?
If you are so mature then ignore the trolls who say that wilt would be like javale mcgee in today's league and be happy.
